trying (trying trying trying trying) my very very very very best-est in the world to make my very very own informed consenting decision.
sigh.
where the quality of information is constantly degraded (or lied to) in some manner of 'what is best for me' by people who don't have my interests in mind at all (who only have their own personal interests in mind at the expense of me)
is that...
the nzl government...
had a bunch of duck-billed n95 masks...
in storage...
for quite some time. quite the number of years.
and they are effective. if you can achieve a fit-test with them.
and they expire... likely that is what the number on the mask means.
so the N95 masks that i purchased from governent supplies . com (not kidding) that have 2012 written on them... HELP IT 2012 more specifically... were sort of guaranteeing their effectiveness. for people who could achieve a fit test by 2012.
but now it is 2021. and they are selling them to the public... because they have expired.
and also becuase their staff cannot mostly achieve a fit test with that style of mask.
let's be honest.
for a change.
let's aspire to be good (rather than clever)
but clever ways of forcing good are alway always always appreeciated (don't get me wrong). clever in service of good is admirable. most truely. another virtue...
