Leave it to Western Civilization to screw up even face
coverings. This is why I prefer cloth masks. BTW face coverings
in non-Western countries long predate the invention of plastic
masks, so the West should look to those cultures instead of
promoting plastic masks because of "science".

Which civilization is to blame?

--- Quote ---
> Amphetamine was first synthesized in 1887 in Germany by
Romanian chemist Lazăr Edeleanu who named it
phenylisopropylamine;[203][227][228] its stimulant effects
remained unknown until 1927, when it was independently
resynthesized by Gordon Alles and reported to have
sympathomimetic properties.[228]

Going back to the first link, so how do Western scientists
research this? You guessed it: by getting even more fish
addicted! (And of course cutting up their brains afterwards.)
