With mask mandates coming back for some health care workers, I find myself wondering: could these masks be just as important in stopping viruses like COVID-19/Flu’s and Colds as Vaccines? Could it be possible that we are overlooking their simple power to protect ourselves and others?

Personally, I think that masks are more than just cloth; as they show our care for one another. But why do we sometimes forget how vital they are? Did the noise of confusion drown out their message?

Now, some may think I’ve turned my back on natural medicine for modern treatments, but that’s not true. I believe both have their place in our health journey. After all, Mother Nature has been here much longer than we have, and she knows a thing or two about healing.

So, what if the best way forward is to blend the wisdom of nature with the advances of science? When we wear a mask, are we not honouring that ancient knowledge? The thing is, every little action can add up to a bigger change.

Maybe the real question isn’t whether masks or vaccines are better, but how we can work together with both. In a world that often feels divided, can we find a way to unite these approaches?

Ultimately, it raises a question: what truly is the right path to take? Is it about choosing one method over the other, or—is it possible that the answer lies somewhere in between? What do you think? GW
