30 Ridiculous "Breathable" Masks On Etsy That Offer Absolutely No Protection From Covid-19, But Sell Like Crazy

by Damjan

Some people believe that laws are there to violate their rights. Of course, they are selective and don't really mind the rules that suit them.

But everything else is basically a violation of their God-given right to not care about anyone else and be selfish as much as they want. In this case, face masks are just another government attempt to control us; they are dangerous and unnecessary.

Now the anti-maskers have another weapon in their arsenal; breathable masks. They enable them to comply with rules and regulations, but still show that they are against wearing masks, (and if they can infect someone along the way, its just a bonus, apparently).

They offer absolutely no protection from the Coronavirus, or any other, for that matter. "While there are counties requiring masks in public; NO law requires a specific type or particulate rating of mask," one Twitter user said.

"The general public are making their own masks including open mesh. No fines have been issued while wearing them in public. This is about compliance, not safety," the person publicly bragged about discovering the loophole.

These "breathable" masks, which are made from tulle, mesh, and other porous materials, are all over the Internet, on websites such as Etsy. The fact that actual businesses sell these masks makes people angry.

"Etsy is just blatantly allowing people to sell mesh face masks," one tweet says. "Spread the word, this [crap] shouldn't be allowed, and they are just letting it happen."

Despite the public opposition, these mesh masks are still available on the website. Etsy spokesperson said that the corporation is trying to "actively review and remove items that violate" its policies.

Nevertheless, shoppers who bought useless masks seem to enjoy them! "Love it! No mask shame wearing these," one user review says…

A shop called ProcraftinatingCassy openly says who their target audience is: "Face covering is not intended to prevent a virus of any kind, it is for those with a sense of humor, those who don't agree with the mask order, and our fellow rebels at heart. If this listing offends you, don't purchase anything... duh."

SHOEHANDY helpfully informs: "The mesh masks without lining should be worn over a solid fabric or disposable mask for protection out in public." But it appears as if most customers did not get that part, as they're smugly sharing selfies with their new masks.

"This mask was designed with the idea to help children with special needs such as autism be able to breathe while complying with mask requirements. This mask also helps women with trauma from rape and violence be able to comply without having an anxiety attack," the Etsy store NoveltyFaceMask clarifies the idea behind their model design.

And, to protect themselves, they included a warning that "there are no claims that these face masks protect against the transmissions of disease, virus, or bacteria. Wear at your own risk."

Twitter user Emma hypothetically asked, "how are Americans this embarrassing" and shared four screenshots of "breathable" face masks reviews. The tweet vent viral, and it got 340k likes and more than 65k retweets in just a couple of days.
