What is the Personality Profile of People Who Refuse to Wear Masks | Are Masks Effective? 

How about questioning the mental profile of all politicians.

I don't mind wearing a mask, but i wonder if there's something disordered about people who live in fear of those who don't wear masks.

Remember the good old days when it was suspicious to wear a mask inside a store and be asked to take it off or leave. Welcome to bizzarrow world. To the people wearing a mask alone in the car..WTF????

Here in Finland we dont use masks and we have very few covid-19 cases. Social distancing and staying home when feeling sick is the best way to prevent this disease. It is not about the mask, it is about peoples behavior.

Mact of the Fatter is that this whole situation has been politicized and people are acting accordingly.

It’s definitely a personality thing… people simply wake up in the morning and make different decisions.

Wonderful statement: There is a limit on how long people will worry about something no matter what the risk. That needs to be embroidered on fabric, framed and hung on the wall.

Can we get a video about the mental health and personality of busybodies.

If masks are so great, why didn't they issue them in prisons instead of tuning criminals loose on the general public?

"Mandated by law" Executive orders aren't law.....

Dr. Grande, While there may be many minimal reasons against wearing masks that don't originate in personality disorder. But anyone who harasses store workers or others, even physically assaulting store workers or neighbors, is clearly acting out of narcissistic impulses.

Let's look at the mental profiles of people who think the MSM is honestly informing us every day.

It's not "mandated by law". It's not a law. Governors are not allowed to make laws.

"Mandated by LAW" ??? Let us remember that it was never a law! You couldn't be arrested for not wearing one.

What about cognitive dissonance and group thinking as maybe important parts of an explanation? It would be interesting to hear some elaboration on that topic.

"I remember the five factors through the acronym 'OCEAN'" At this point, so do I.

I went and filled out the covid 19 papers for the test dropped them off went home 4 days later I get a notification in the mail I tested positive I never took the test

As doctor Fauci said: “No one should be walking around wearing a mask right now...”

This is like asking what's the personality profile of non-smokers.

Mostly we see totally braiwashed people who buy into same lies over and over again...

Imagine a world where the news is delivered like this

Not putting a mask on isn’t ‘acting out’. It’s remaining ‘as is’. Putting the mask on is ‘ acting out’.

I refuse to wear a mask and mask my children. We have not worn one this entire time and we've been fine. My entire town refuses to comply with the mandates

FYI: a Mandate is not Law.

Another reason is that people in positions of Authority are not wearing masks. My governor was out when the state was closed down taking selfies without a mask on, but he was telling us to wear masks

This guy is about as much of a doctor as Dr Pepper

In September 2020, someone on Facebook claimed that there was such a thing as "Mask Aversion Disorder" which of COURSE counted as a disability. I rolled my eyes and laughed while calling her out on it.

I saw a lady wearing a coffee filter and another man wearing a party hat on his face. At least they were trying

Let’s look at the personality profile of people who wear masks while COMPLETELY alone!!!!!

How did my grandma contract COVID19 in a nursing home with no visitors and all staff members complying with the cdc’s guidelines?

I didn’t like wearing one because my ex almost strangled me to death and I had flashbacks to that. High anxiety, panic attacks and shaking. I would wear it when I had to but I was always pulling it out away from my face. Needless to say I stayed home a lot because people wouldn’t understand when I would start shaking and sweating in public. Just a different point of view.

When the CDC said initially that we shouldn't wear masks, that assertion was backed by over ten years of prior research stating that masks are ineffective at preventing illness. So, we have a decade of research versus less than two months of scientists saying "masks probably work but there's not enough data to say for sure". I know which science I believe.

Of course, masks while driving are unnecessary. You learn how to take it off with a little practice. I hate masks with a passion. When this madness started, all masks in pharmacies were sold out immediately (at 100x higher price!) so I made 6 cotton ones at home for me and my family. It took me 20 minutes. I hate wearing them, but I have two people at home who would be seriously sick if I brought them the virus.

There are many instances where people struggling for oxygen are absolutely aware of how dangerous the deprivation of this is. There are so many instances where doctors have given incredibly bad advice. The lack of decernment from medics is astounding.

It's as simple as some people need to be controlled and are frightened even though the majority of people who catch corona virus recover fully.

I'm disgusted with the behaviour of some people, I have Autism and with my SPD it's really hell to wear a mask, I wear irlen lenses to help with my dyspraxia and sensory issues, they do steam up and my already fragile balance is exacerbated, I'm a hazard, I walk with a stick to help but it's a real struggle, I'm very used to socially distancing, because I've been a recluse for many many years, and in the beginning of the lockdown with so much competition for home deliveries, I had to really push myself, to go over my threshold to get essentials, this was horrific, meltdowns shutdowns and panic attacks, I find it hard to follow maps, directions, and the couple of shops I went to had cryptic feet and arrows pointing this way or that, I was already struggling to see, keep my balance and deal with the sensory overload with the mask on. And pushing a trolley when I was bumped into by a shop assistant pushing a cage, as she passed me, I then remembered something I forgot, I turned round following her path to get the tomatoes, she turns and shouts you're going the wrong way, I apologize and start to go down the next aisle, again she barks you can't go that way, you have to go down to the beginning of the store and start again, at this point I'm thinking she's being twisted, deep breath walk down to front of shop, but by this point fight or flight has really kicked in, by the time I got to front of shop I was fighting back tears, seen manager said I was disgusted with his staff and that many people have hidden disabilities, although my stick, dark glasses, and noise cancelling headphones should have been a bit of a giveaway, and snapping at customers is a bit much, and told him I wouldn't be buying my trolley load and walked out. I'm proud of myself for not having a complete meltdown until I got home, I put in an official complaint, I find some people are on a bit of a power trip, when given some authority, and it's really ugly to see. I'm glad I can get deliveries again. I just think people should have some compassion, and not judge those who are incapable of wearing a mask safely. You do not know what they are dealing with, I've managed to wear a mask on those few occasions I had to go out many Autists can't.

Missed the elephant in the exam room, namely, partisan political identity.

People gleefully coughing on my family who has a child born with a congenital airway disorder taught me my country is full of sociopaths.

Wearing a mask is similar to covering your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough. I doubt if there is clinical trial evidence that this practice reduces the risk of spreading infection. The idea is both are relatively low burden tasks that are designed to protect others and based on what we know about the biology of these diseases.

I'd be more interested in the personality profile of politicians who mandate dress codes for the general public 🙄

I’ve been shielding for 4 months in the UK as I’m immunocompromised so extremely vulnerable to a serious outcome if I get it. Shielding comes to an end in England on the 1st August and I’m expected to return to work and pick up my life as before. I’ll be wearing a mask whenever I’m around people but ultimately, I need to be protected also by others doing the same thing. Logic says that if droplets are reduced by my own mask and then again, reduced by a person wearing a mask around me along with social distancing, I should be okay. Problem is, people aren’t social distancing and not wearing masks and my mask alone is not enough. A lot of people are bored of it all and being obstinate because they have not been affected directly so therefore, cannot grasp that me, and two million other people released from our houses in August are at a massive risk and we need you...if you can...to wear a mask to help us stay alive. Please.

You stated near the beginning that "society" has determined that wearing a mask is the right thing to do. Not hardly. When government officials dictate you will wear a mask, that is not society. Society determining it would be if the general public made that choice on its own through a recommendation by health officials. When a tyrannical dictator like the governor of Michigan demands your compliance, yet she and her own family can do what they want coupled with the courts clearly stating that she does not have the authority to do what she has done and that she is violating the constitutional rights of the citizens of Michigan, what was her response? She turns to the health department and has them start issuing the very same demands that she has been told are unconstitutional and then continues to use them as her surrogate mouthpiece. That is not society determining anything. That is a dictatorship...and that is why so many absolutely refuse to comply with these tyrannical demands that she and the other elites do not follow themselves. You say that this type of person is a conspiracy theorist and antisocial and not sympathetic to others. Yet, most of these people who refuse to comply with tyranny will voluntarily comply with other rules in society quite easily. This cold virus, which is what COVID is, is no different than so many other things in life...we have the right to self determination. Everyone knows smoking can cause lung cancer, yet millions still smoke. Everyone knows drunk driving is dangerous, yet thousands drive drunk every day. Everyone knows you that speeding is against the law, yet millions still drive faster than the posted speed limit every time they drive somewhere. To be told that I am a murderer because I am not wearing a mask, to be told that I am going to infect someone when there is absolute no evidence that I am sick with anything from the common cold to cancer or AIDS, yeah...that will cause people to say I will not comply. I am disabled. My sister in law comes over to my house and cleans it for me. My brother comes over to help me with things I cannot do. Just last week, I had some kind of stomach bug...just a very disagreeable digestive system, nothing wanted to stay down, no appetite, etc. I sent a text to my sister in law and brother saying...I have a stomach bug, skip this week. Evidence is present that I had some kind of potentially communicable virus seeing as I began feeling ill after my mother had vomited near me a few days before. Yet I don't care about people according to your assessment. Reality is...there is absolute no evidence I am sick and therefore, I will not act as though I am to placate to another's government and media induced paranoia. All we hear is "so many died/so many tested positive. NEVER, not one single time have they reported the story like this..."X number of people have died this week from complications of COVID. X number have tested positive in the last week and X number of people have recovered and returned home." Nope, just the paranoia, fear inducing propaganda to maintain and strengthen the control and domination. Fauci talks out of both sides of his mouth, constantly retracts and changes what he says when his benchmarks are not met always moving the goal posts to maintain his story and the fear control over society. I know you'll label me with some kind of mental disorder and I'd love to know what you have to say. I need that laugh.

I saw somebody get pepper sprayed for not wearing a mask in a dog park I think the mask wears more dangerous. I didn't wear one because I'm not a slave to fear I don't fear things I can't see. I washed my hands and kept my distance from people putting cloth over my face seemed pointless. Okay a better idea I would just be to stay home more if you are afraid of catching something don't leave your house unless it's necessary. Don't go to the store and get mad when you see somebody else not wearing a mask you can't control other people that would be the narcissism that he was talking about.

The analogy I heard, especially when it comes to homemade masks, like the one Alyssa Milano "knitted herself" lmao, the virus is so small it's like using a chain link fence to keep the mosquitoes out.

Quomo "where is it written, that protestors are supposed to be peaceful?" "( the right of the people to peaceably assemble)"

I have lupus and a several other autoimmune diseases, so I have to be extra careful not to catch this stuff. Once I was in a cab and driver was wearing his mask on his chin. I don't know where I got the sass to do it, but I just giggled and said "Oh, you're wearing one of those new beard bras!" I don't know if I embarrassed him or infuriated him or what, but he put it on properly. I don't know why people complain about it fogging up their glasses. I intentionally wear sunglasses to fit the top of my mask to my face. The weight of the glasses holds them down. Thank you, Doctor. I appreciate all your common sense and your thoughtful videos. You are appreciated!

No wonder the world is in such a state with "Experts" like this advising governments.

Oh this is going to open up a beautiful can of worms in the comments 😂

Americans seem to take the mask reason from one extreme to the other. Some would wear it while jogging through Death Valley(exaggerated humor) and others are so stubbornly anti-mask that they practically yell at people wearing them. Moderation is important, wear one briefly only if you are in a risky area and stop hangin on top of each other. common sense.

Can you do a profile on people who refuse to remove their mask or wear it alone in their car?

Think it's a way to get us all following the rules of a different religion which we are now doing. Washing hands, covering faces, quiet gatherings no loud behavior at sport or even pub

I am 67 years old and had a long career in the law - as solicitor and judge. I hope I can recognise BS when I see it. This 'rule' is government manipulation

The mask does cover a lot of my wrinkles🤣

Dr. How about doing another entry on those that are afraid to take their masks off and start living their lives again? And those same folks that are shaming the rest of us? I hope you do it, or I’ll lose respect.

So, what's the consensus now that we've had 2 years of studies?

I meet in Zoom a couple days a week. I still see people wearing mask's when they are alone in their home's. Is corona infectious via the computer?

Please analyze the individuals who feel that it is their duty to confront everyone around them, to order others to wear masks and to record people’s responses.

How about an update- its been a long virus active past 10 months. We don't have a lot of pandemic historical experience to draw from.

This aged like fresh fish...

By “law”? Might want to look up what the definition of a law is in the US constitution.

I have been wearing my N95 mask. I did it before required when stores were making staff wear them....as a way to be supportive of them. I don’t mind, but I don’t drive or exercise with one. If not around people I see no reason. I’ve been thinking about this though. If I’m following behind a police car that slows to 10 mph and there are no lights or evident reason, and this officer continues to do 10 in a 35 mph zone, do I keep following or do I eventually pass or wish to know why this person is doing this? The point is...maybe some people think they are just blindly following rules that make little sense (to them), due to the conflicting efficacy of masks. The media isn’t helping. Masks are helpful; they do nothing; they are dangerous due to Co2, etc. All these reports quote to medical sources so which is right? I think people are confused, and this coupled with the climate of questioning authority out there may be a big contributor. What I’d like to see is a step back. Someone to review the literature on Covid, and to examine all contrary studies. If two studies draw opposing conclusions, which one do you believe? Id love to see someone with journal access sift through it, and find out which study is the most likely to be accurate, and then put the data out there. So basically a literature review with an extra careful eye since conclusions could affect many. I’m not sure why our top scientists can’t manage this, other than it’s become political. It’s novel so I get it, but with something this potentially serious we need continuity with the disease, and mask efficacy.

Oh, this is gonna be good... I have not watched the video yet, so I don't know what this guy's conclusion is going to be, although the title is somewhat suggestive of what it might be, and I can't help but see a couple of the existing comments right in front of me. Having said that, I'm here with an open mind, so let's see what this guy thinks my problem is (or why I don't have a problem)...

I wore them where they were mandated, a few times they slipped below my nose and I got yelled at (no joke) by people who were acting demon possessed. I'm an athletic, perfectly healthy man, getting yelled at, on 2 occasions, by obese people, because my mask was below my nose. Btw, I've never had covid. I have no health problems of any kind. Where masks were not mandated, I went without. I survived.

Next video....let's analyze the personalities of the people wearing it.

Doctor could you do a personality profile on someone who is extremely Frugal and I don't mean people that have to be frugal to survive but people with plenty of money and won't spend money on pleasures of life like going out to eat once in awhile or going on vacation?

This didn't age well. There's no proof masks or social distancing helped.

What's the personality profile of people who wear masks inside their car when they're the only ones inside?

There's a big (personality) difference between someone who doesn't wear a mask because they think their ineffective and someone who things this is all a conspiracy.

Their personality profile is that they have the ability to question what they're told by government officials, MSM and 'experts'. Seems like a pretty useful trait if you ask me.

I had rape flashbacks, putting on a mask. I finally was able to get over it with a lot of help, but it was pretty traumatic for me. I'm really surprised that I haven't heard more about this. I can't be the only one.

Now that we've made it to 2021 and the prevention measures and dangers of Covid-19 are much clearer, it would be interesting to hear your current analysis.

'Putting the science aside for a moment'?? All respect lost for Dr Grande.

What about adverse effects of prolonged use of masks?

I wore my mask when I would go out for errands. I wouldn’t force someone to wear one if they were close to me. With that being said I didn’t understand why some wouldn’t wear masks in private property. I may be wrong, maybe some had health issues? However to enter a private business and not follow their protocols seems like an emotional response.

Came for the comments, wasn't disappointed.

I’m a good sheep I wear my mask and I’ll follow the herd into the dystopian authoritarian world of the future.

Decades and decades of studies and information snd the entire medical community can’t figure this out ? How the hell is that?

How about taking whatever precautions you want and minding your own business.

What law has been passed that I missed about wearing a mask? I’ve heard of recommendations or private business requiring them but laws already this video is invalid.

I have Asthma, I have tried to wear a mask a few times but I get anxious. I am Not going to wear a mask

I wear masks for 2 reasons. 1.) It could help prevent illness. 2.) If it makes other people feel better, I'll wear it. I can't understand why other people make fun of me for wearing masks. Especially, people make fun of me for wearing a mask while I drive alone in my car. (I wear glasses and behind the ear hearing aids, so it's easier to just leave the mask on.) I don't understand why anyone cares what I wear alone in my car.

He neglected to mention a group who believe that the rule to be followed is not based on incomplete (or clearly defined) evidence, or that the rule was created by an unqualified (or incompetent) authoritarian or assembly. And these choose not to follow the rule in dispute.

That's it! I'm a narcissist! I feel better knowing that, now I can sleep better.

Nowhere is wearing a mask "mandated by law".

If a too low level of openness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness, and a too high level of assertiveness and emotionalness are bad, then a too high level of openness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness, and a too low level of assertiveness and emotionalness are also bad. One could argue those who obey mask mandates without question have personality problems. Many of them are excessively emotional or neurotic besides being too agreeable, too compliant, too submissive, too cowardly.

Perhaps they are people with a reasonably good understanding of science. My BIL the pathologist, for instance, my friend who is an epidemiologist at a major university. Masks are just balm on the panic the politician's rhetoric has caused.

I'm not a mask wearer but I put one on in places I can't avoid just because there is no sense getting thrown out if you really need the product or service but I am going to start tapping my stearing wheel!

How bout what is the personality profile of people who DO wear masks? So not complying to tyranny is acting out and narcissistic behavior?! Following these idiotic rules and orders is essentially agreeing with this manufactured "new normal"

Dr Grande makes a very good point in saying that it is more complex than "people simply being antagonistic" and I think we should all listen carefully to his words. I think there are way too many people on both sides of the issue to call generalizations either way. In fact, asking the question (what is the personality profile of those who don't wear masks is VERY SCARY. This is part of the problem with the ever-widening deep deep division occurring in this country. As a physician, I am a triple vaccinated, mask wearer for sure, but attempts to vilify an entire group of people (for any reason) reminds me of past decades and other countries and we do NOT want to go there.

I would call them individuals with brains and minds of their own. MY mother always said. IF someone else jumps off a bridge are you going to do it? You have to think for yourself. I do respect ppl thinking for themselves.

I saw someone on Twitter say that people who refuse to wear a mask would be the same to hide a zombie bite, and for some reason that makes sense

A hundred years ago during the flu pandemic, these same issues came up and the same arguments were made. Its a shame that the flu pandemic is barely mentioned in most school text books. Its as if the county chose to forget about it to its peril. Apparently not much has not changed with respect to public attitudes. The only saving grace is that medical science has mad much progress since then. And this is the science that a lot of people nowadays seem to distrust and reject.

What happens when the size of water vapour with viruses is smaller then the opening of masks is twice as big ? What is the deathrate of covid? This potentially deadly infection that kills 80 plus year olds?

What is the personality profile of people who follow blindly, inject shots and boosters without actual scientific studies conducted, and wear one, two, three, four masks at a time, while swimming, outside alone, and put plastic bags over their heads?

People who like to breathe try to avoid wearing masks as much as possible. When I told my doctor that wearing a mask was like using a chainlink fence to keep out a mosquito, he chuckled and said, "that's true"!

I have an anxiety disorder and the 1st time I wore a mask I felt suffocated and had a panic attack in a busy supermarket. I've never had a panic attack in a shop before so I'm thinking it was the mask. Since then, I've been having a lot of anxiety about wearing masks, worried it'll happen again. I'm trying all I can to be more comfortable with it, because I understand the importance of wearing them

Thanks for your analysis but I have seen lots of people suffer through ignorance and listening to their friends, the friend is alive they are six feet under. That is the result of having the right mind set.

I see toddlers wearing masks, it disgusts me. We were told that children are not likely to have severe cases, and a growing child needs all the unobstructed breathing they can take. A mask on a toddler looks to me like child abuse from weak minded parents.

"believe", "suppose", "may", "could", "might". Truly "the science".
