CV and mad panic behaviour

[northernblue]

You are less likely to get it if you are vaccinated, you are certainly less likely to get super sick from it if you are vaccinated.
That doesn't mean it stops you getting it. It means it stops you getting it to the same extent as those not vaccinated.

There is a difference.

As we've discovered time and time again in this saga, people hear what they wanna hear and make judgement based on misunderstanding, and misinformation in most anti-vaxxers.

For the average joe out there, they don't understand how covid works, vaccines work, flattening the curve works etc etc.
This is why we have experts, so we don't need to know.

However, one person tries to paraphrase someone and 'disprove' it and that supposedly invalidates the whole argument....despite the paraphrasing missing the point.

One example of this is masks.
Wear masks and help stop the spread

Now people see that and dive into it, the virus is so small it can get through the masks....thus...masks do nothing. ITS BS!

However, that is only half the idea IMO.
1. Wear a mask can limit the distance the virus can spread through it, compared to no mask.
eg Spraying water through a flyscreen won't stop the water getting through, but it limit how far it gets.

2. The part people are oblivious too, the psychology of wearing a mask. It is a constant reminder that you need to be careful.
You see someone with a mask on and it reminds you (i need to stay 1.5m away, not shake hands etc) it reminds you that you need to sanitise your hands when you touch something etc.
So masks are working as a reminder, even if they are not working as a face force-field.

But, prove some virus can get through a mask and the whole concept of masks is BS! Only to the ignorant.

More to the point “Only to the really, really intelligent” because they believe they are smarter than experts in the field.
