Were none of these people paying attention last winter when every relevant authority said masks were useless, if not counterproductive, and then the narrative was changed by politicians contrary to all the science?

That doesn't give these people pause?

These are the very same kinds of people who willingly went along with the nazi agenda without question. They're the segment of the population who blindly defer to authority no matter what that authority is telling them to do. These are exactly the kinds of people who should be weeded out of the military because they're the ones who you can bet will commit atrocities without a second though when ordered.
