As for getting a Covid vaccine? People like you disgust me so much, it has become more or a principle now. I rather give you Covid than protect you.
You can't because I'm fully vaxxed. I do bars and parties again without even thinking about that silly thing. That's the disease for science deniers to show us all how great their "natural" immunity works.

there have been fully vaxxed people who got covid and died. 10,000 so far. Including that doctor who traveled to India, he was fully vaxxed for months with pfizer.

You could still get Covid.

Me? I've been going to restaurants, parties, traveling, nightclubs, etc since May 2020 when they opened again in Miami. I'm in the French riviera now. Never had 1 fear in the world. Never caught Covid too.

So wearing a mask prevents the flu but not social distancing, lockdowns, vaccines, travel bans, and quarantines?

Wow, how convenient. The moving of the goalpost never ends.

Yeah I could take comfort in make believe numbers and delusions too. I guess that is how I would cope if I was afraid of a little jab. But I'm not...

I bet, you fully vaxxed will catch Covid before me. Just saying. Your odds (if numbers are correct), are reduced by 20, but they are not 0.

I think it's pretty obvious that an actual shot is not what people are concerned about. It is the makeup of what's in the shot and its effect on the body. Let's at least get that correct.

No there have not been 10,000 deaths of fully vaccinated people. There have not even been that many reported cases.

You could still get COVID-19 but 90+ percent of vaccinated people will be protected from the infection, most who are vaccinated who get the virus will have no symptoms, few will need to be hospitalized, and even fewer will die.

All of it has contributed to the astounding decrease in flu. Who has claimed it was only due to mask use?

So we need lockdowns, quarantines, travel bans, social distancing, and masks every season for the flu?

Not going to happen. You can’t arbitrarily move the goal posts whenever you see fit.

No, you've misunderstood. What he said was that some people may decide to wear masks when seasonal respiratory viruses are circulating. Voluntary-not mandatory!

Indeed, I've noticed that Japanese tourists to Hawaii have been doing this for years. Now that US citizens have some experience with the efficacy and experience of wearing masks it does seem quite likely this will become more commonplace among our citizens. After all, it makes perfect sense!

He said certain seasons? So does that mean two or three seasons that masks need to worn for now on.

Do I need to start wearing two masks in September already or is it okay to not wear two masks as he has reocmmended until October?

He's probably talking about flu season like they do in other countries like China. Being masked sure cut down on the number of flu cases this year.
