It is but you can't deny it's against both medical advice and public opinion. The crux of the matter is that you don't care about that stuff.

No you are just trying to force your views onto others.

My view is the majority view in Thailand on a scientific matter.

Maybe they didn't have masks on them.

 

The rest of the world no longer uses them.

But that is not the main point here. It is rather a show of respect to the sensitivities of citizens of a country you are visiting even if you think they are a waste of time. 

I am not visiting Thailand. I live here.

 

And I don't consider masks to be a waste of time - because it doesn't take time to wear a mask. I consider them to be ineffective - and dangerous, both physically and mentally, for the health of humans.

Misinformation. Utter BS in fact.

Is not Thai law to wear a mask everywhere.

Did mention law somewhere? I think it more like medical advice.

When you can win an argument, declare your opponents to be spreading misinformation and try to get them censored. Does it make you feel good to resort to such desperate measures? Do you really think that there is anything that shouldn't be questioned?

You said "no longer uses them" Classic case of moving the goal posts. Australia is recommending them lately because of a surge in cases.

Misinformation is not a subjective thing. It needs to be called out each and every time and definitely censored.

Not masking in a public place when requested, is rude behavior

I thought we didn't legally need to wear masks in public places now.

 

In private establishments, that's different. House rules.

You're deflecting. This debate has never been about what the law says.

 

come on, the OP is just virtue signaling, there's nothing wrong with not following the herd, being independent of thought and action, as long as your not harming anyone.

 

on a separate note, what puzzles me is the pretty much 100% mask compliance, yet almost zero % sanitising and social distancing, doesn't make logical sense.

In that case, I call you out for misinformation, because I can show you lots of studies that shows that masks are ineffective and even dangerous:

I therefore demand that you be censored - and suspended. How do you feel about censorship now? (Don't worry - I'm sure you're not at risk of being censored - even if you are spreading misinformation - because you are spreading the officially approved misinformation.)

Nothing you say is relevant if not Thai law. Farangs dont need to worry about opinions.

Any evidence on that, except the fluff the Pharma companies tell you? While they tried to suppress the real evidence for how long? 76 years was it?
