What happens to anti-maskers after the COVID-19 pandemic?

Not to me. That's exactly what my brother is doing too. This is a very coherent wave of propaganda. I suppose is it possible that social media produces something so coherent without prompting.

Bear with me; it's also possible that there is a political or economic entity pushing this specific collection of ideas onto emotionally vulnerable people, like my brother, like OC's family member, and that the goal is to lower the uptake of the vaccine and further destabilise North American economies relative to say, Russian or Chinese. The fact that there are so many messages baked into this about how everybody ELSE is victim to a psy-op, and everybody ELSE is being manipulated by oligarchs makes it a very attractive concept--but I am self aware, and aware of the fact that this is my emotions reinforcing the concept cuz it gives me a gigantic justice boner to imagine my obnoxious family realising that they have fallen victim to manipulation, and if that manipulation originates from an actual aggressive PR campaign then the poetic justice would be strong.

But PROBABLY, it's just the result of humans all interacting in echo chambers. I wonder where in the sciences the study of this sort of thing exists.
