It's more the fact that they're protesting mask mandates that were lifted months ago, lockdowns that haven't happened for almost a year, and QR code checkins that are no longer present.

They are not advocating for N95 face masks out of concern that the cloth ones are ineffective.

Where are these people protesting non-existent mandates? Thats like protesting against wearing a fake moustache when there is no mandate to.

Every Saturday, to this day, there is an antivax protest through the streets of Melbourne despite the fact that there have been no domestic covid restrictions since around this time last year, and international borders have been open since Jan.

It's basically now just a social event for the Q crowd that leaves them feeling important and the rest of us feeling perplexed.

I’m talking about masks not vaccines. There are also a lot of assumptions about who you think the people in the crowd are. You don’t know it’s a social event for the Q crowd. Why is it strange that people have different opinions, right or wrong? What’s perplexing is believing every single person should agree on something.

Well... they wouldn't have been arrested if the mandates had been lifted. Or are you talking about people protesting them now? Because, If they weren't still protesting them, the mandates would still be in place or be re-imposed!
