Because they can't vaccinate against the other humans in the room.
Unironically, I think that a lot of those people that are still masking up (and not from regions of deadly smog) have crossed a threshold of sanity around microorganism paranoia.

>>15799786
physically ugly people like wearing the masks because they're rightfully ashamed of their hideous faces
mentally ugly people like wearing the masks because its a means of virtue signaling

interesting how masks were uncritically known to be something that food workers, factory workers, and sick people wear to reduce the amount of shit they breathe over everything until a bunch of horse paste eating geniuses decided ackthually they don't work for totally non political reasons

>>15799926
Yeah, we can pretend like it has one reason for why people do it and then go for the most shallow

>>15799780
>need to wear masks?
What need? Intestinal parasites spreading the words of their masters is the normal. Trueman show has more realism.

The vaccine is effective, but not completely. Masks are also somewhat effective. You can and should use both, because covid is quite bad for you.

are you *sure* that this picture was taken in 2023 anon? Because that looks like the Japan prize in 2022, which had a universal mask policy...

Clownworld is an artificial homosexual construct

>>15799934
how big is the reduction and why didnt we see a dip in covid cases when masking was at 95%?

>>15799780
imagine
you're receiving the nobel prize
this is the most important moment of your entire life
your whole career has led to this moment
and you're wearing a fucking face mask when you receive it

was it a nobel prize or a nobel peace prize. the later is given out like knighthoods.

Hey idiots, explain why I didn't get the vaccine and I never get sick, and yet my mom and brother and dad are all vaccinated against covid yet they get covid like twice a year now.

Why screenshot a fake news website instead of the actual CDC report?

>>15803097
even if they are fake news, I still don't get sick and my vaccinated family does all the time. simple as.

Pathetic.

Masks aren't effective at all, why are you lying, anon?

this is your brain on social "democracy"

The CDC literally spouts objectively unscientific dogma 95% of the time.

>>15799786
This, the vaccine protects you from getting the virus but it doesn't stop you from getting it from other people

>the horse meme

>>15803085
The vaccine doesn't protect you from harm or keep you from getting the virus, it only stops you from being able to spread it. That's why your selfish refusal to get vaccinated harmed your family while you were most unaffected.

brilliant. you keep taking your boosters and ill keep giving you covid

covid spelled backwards is divoc or dybbuk in hebrew which means demonic possession.
c(3)o(15)r(18)o(15)n(14)a(1)=66 and there are 6 letters in corona

how is this a coincidence? hang this nigger

>>15799926
conservatives were wrong to reject masks because soon there will cctv on every corner and you will wish it was acceptable to wear a bandana. conservatives fucked it all up because they were short sighted. rare occurrence.

>>15811279
you cant bypass facial recognition by wearing a mask, numbnuts. this isnt the 90s

>>15811345
Says who? A jury of my peers? If a jury of my peers can't say beyond reasonable doubt who I am while wearing a mask, then I can indeed bypass facial recognition.

>>15811279
MASKS LITERALLY DID NOTHING TO PROTECT YOU FROM COVID

Are you a literal braindead?

>>15811279
This. It's why the Jan 6th rioters got fucked. They were too stupid to wear masks so they were easy to identify

>>15812830
Masks reduce rate of transmission.

>>15812907
Zero supporting evidence. The CDC's own paper that was published to support Mask mandates were full of holes that doesn't stand any level of scrutiny.

>>15804194
Uh huh, the virus that's so small it passes right through cloth and paper like it's nothing is stopped with masks. I would agree if it were N95 masks, but you'd have to replace them all the time to be properly effective. And if every person in the country used those in 2020 it would have caused more issues supplying them to people that really need them. The real answer: if you are so scared of getting covid you insist everyone else protect YOU then you can stay your ass home. Let the normal people continue to live their lives.

The amount of anti maskers in here... is /sci/ just a hangout for pseudo intellectuals from /pol/?

>>15823742
Being against masking is the scientifically validated position.

masks are a known instigator in pneumonia, anyone who wears one is asking for trouble

How does a nonfunctional vaccine even win a Nobel prize?

>>15825743
Same way the HPV vaccine won one, the people making money on the vaccine paid off the people who select the prize winners

>>15804194
>it only stops you from being able to spread it
explain how that works

>>15811279
Here is a fine example of one of the many, many instances of leftist political discussion which never ever seems to merit screeching about /pol/, which is just goes to prove that the people who screech about don't do so because they dislike political discussion on /sci/ but because they see screeching about /pol/ as a way to shut down their political enemies.
what they dislike isn't political discussion, its seeing opposing viewpoints that triggers them.

Someone in my household had/has covid and I went to fairly significant lengths to keep my distance from them (as much as is possible within reason when you live in the same house, and ignoring the fact that they were probably infectious well before symptoms showed up).
I've caught it anyway, but my case seems to be significantly milder than theirs.

Could this be partly explained by the "viral load" theory (symptom severity being dependent on how much of the virus you initially breathed in)?

If so, does that only make a difference on initial exposure and becomes irrelevant once symptoms show up? Or does it make sense for someone with a mild case of covid to continue avoiding people with a worse case until both have recovered?
