There can’t even possibly be down sides to wearing a mask, they said
Masks are ineffective, and their harms include
(1) cardiovascular
(2) skin wounds
(3) falls
(4) senses dulled
(6) encourages immunocompromised to socialize
(7) encourages symptomatics to socialize,
…and now….
(8) discourages flu vaccination.

(I’m presuming here for the sake of argument that flu vaccines ARE a good idea.)
I was going to get in shape, eat well and get an adequate amount of rest this cold and flu season to stave off illness, but I think I'll just wear 3 masks instead. Science!
I don't think discouraging people from getting flu shots is a bad thing. But normalizing mask wearing every time there's an outbreak of anything, or anytime it's perceived as cold or flu season, definitely is.
