Being a deaf person, the mandate practically destroyed my main emotional connection to people. I read lips and can read emotions through that. When the masks covers it, it cuts off my ability to communicate with others. Many are not empathetic when it comes to assistance for dialogue. They won’t pull down the mask (not even the slightest) nor write down on paper. I hope my personal experiences/testimonies would carry on to teach people how wrong this is. I know already what it does to internal health via breathing and pretty sure many who awakened would agree. But from a psychological standpoint which is not discussed often, I personally describe it as a far worse outcome.
