- It doesn’t exist anymore
- It does exist, but it’s just another flu-like virus
- It’s much worse than the flu, but it only affected other people so far, so it won’t affect me
ample evidence exists to prove all 3 wrong
oh yea, the exotic chud response which they’ve conveniently memoryholed:
4) covid is fake and never existed
Huh masking works and will almost certainly prevent some of those infections. I mask and use iota carrageenan nasal spray any time I’m in a public indoor space and have never gotten covid. Of course also get your vaccines, shockingly few people are boosted and thus have lost the immunity
I’m a teacher.
I’m stuffed in a room with 15 - 25 students who don’t mask. When it spreads, it spreads like wildfire through the campus.
I wore a mask every day for 3 years and got every vaccination, but I still get it every year. There’s really no avoiding it.
I work in a popular children’s arcade in my city and see dozens if not hundreds of different unmasked kids a day and yet I never get sick and am reasonably sure I have never had covid. My unmasked coworkers sure get sick a lot though!
Sorry you keep getting infected but you’re wrong about it being unavoidable. Maybe you’re doing something wrong or maybe you are just really unlucky or something, I don’t know, but respirators work. IIRC even when they fail to prevent an infection, they help reduce the severity of illness since they reduce viral load, but I’d have to do some digging for the source on that. In any case, the science supports masking to reduce the spread of covid.
