      So you haven’t been sick since everyone started wearing masks‽

        Yeah I guess so. Don’t think it means anything except I’ve been exercising , eating red meat and getting sunlight while the rest of the world lived in fear.

          Exactly, it doesn’t mean anything because it’s just anecdotal (just like the original comment, just with slightly bigger sample size). I thought that was your point and you were trolling, but apparently you actually believe this bullshit.

      You haven’t been sick in the past 2 years, when far fewer people are out in public, and tend to wear more masks? And you think that this somehow is supporting your argument, rather than undermining it?

      I’m not talking about covid vaccinations. I’m talking about common colds, flus, and all the other shit that my kids drag home. So, my sample size is 4 times larger than yours, shows indications that I’m not just falsely remembering the past but keeping track of how often we’re sick, and that the rate has declined tremendously (even with our imperfect mask-wearing), and you’re still saying they’re “worthless”? It’s just sort of weird. You’re presenting this attitude of “I have to support my team” rather than that of a thinking person. Sad, more than weird I guess.

      Now, if we expand “worthless” to be more than for just yourself, a young hyper-healthy ubermensch who can never get sick anyway… how would you feel if grandma died 10 years earlier than she had to, does that not figure in to your worth? Or have you tossed all of your elderly over the cliff according to the traditions of your clan or something? Viruses are, by definition, contagious.

      I’ve been reading that we might have made 3 different flu strains extinct because of this shit. Have you noticed that headline anywhere? I mean, not talking about whether you believe it to be true or not, just whether you are aware that some people have suggested that it has happened. It’d be a big deal if true, humanity’s only managed to ever kill two diseases extinct (the number’d be higher except for idiot anti-vaxxers).
