The reality is that you can easily get infected through a mask, but the viral load is much lower
Also if all the people around you are wearing masks in addition to yourself, then it's way way lower
as the meme states actually, the point of masks isn't really to protect yourself, that's a marginal side benefit, the point is to protect everyone else from your pestilence ridden breath of death.
watching videos that show how particulate from your breath spreads with and without just literally anything in front of your mouth is disgusting, unblocked your breath carries spittle several METERS in front of you, like the world's most disgusting sprinkler put sideways.
I tried explaining this to a friend who was convinced masks do nothing. He would say stuff like "if it can still get through then what's the point". He claimed only people at risk should wear them.
you should make him eat poop
since he consumes a non-zero amount of fecal bacteria just like everyone else
not eating poop does nothing
if you can still die while wearing a seatbelt what's the point
For some reason anti-maskers think that getting shot once and getting shot 276,000,000 times are equally bad
Aha, but if every bullet is a killer bullet then it is exactly the same.
Checkmate atheists.
