I am not sure that’s a good comparison, as you got no immediate visceral value from wearing a mask, whereas presumably you will from this fantastical device.

Even among the most concerned populations there was a sense that a mask wasn’t going to help you in a significant and specific way, more at a population level. And in more than half the US at least it was seen as absolute bullshit.
