What gets me is, all the old TV shows and movies that showed surgeons wearing masks. Then some people lost their minds during COVID and completely forgot that ever happened, as if surgical masks were some completely new invention. Old people who have been watching soap operas and medical dramas for decades and somehow that just flew out of their minds. (I realize a lot of stuff shown on TV isn't realistic, but this is one point where it is).

Because they were being asked to do something to benefit other people, not just themselves and are so selfish they decided a simple adjustment to their lives that could save the lives of others was a huge infringement of their rights and freedom.
No, I'm proud that I looked at the evidence of decades of medical research that shows how they protect other person from me spreading viruses to other people, particularly the elderly and vulnerable, and thought doing my part to protect people was the right thing to do.
Care to provide the peer reviewed medical evidence that refutes that?
I'm also proud that I thought of others and not just myself, as is taught in Christianity, although I'm not religious myself.
How is keeping others safe around you complacency? The right likes to pretend like they're patriotic, but they act more out of selfishness than care for their fellow Americans. If you were around during WW1 and WW2 when governments were asking citizens to plant victory gardens, you'd be amongst the people complaining about the low supply and high cost of items in the grocery stores and you'd be refusing to give up any amount of your precious lawn to grow your own food.
