Two reasons: One, if they admit that they were so very easily conned by their overt worship of government bought and paid for 'experts' just out to feather their own nests then they look like the fools they are and, second, if they admit that they were conned about the masks then they will finally have to take seriously that they were also conned about the viability of all those experimental MRNA COVID vaccines and the KNOWN long lasting and negative side effects; which for them . . . would be nightmare material. So they are in deep, DEEP . . . denial.
