you said he was double masking to protect himself (old and important) - therefore protection from infection of the wearer is the relevant double mask function of interest.

on the second point, no one is listening to that woman but POTUS has a considerable influence no? (most powerful person in the world remember?) In addition, saying you are following the science™ when you advocate those symbolic preventive measures both erodes trust in government recommendations AND discourages vaccination because the message is "even after you get vaccinated you need to keep double masking"

so in the end, the symbolic deed discourages vaccinations and I dare say POTUS has more impact on people's decision than some woman that almost no one but Twits will see.

My original post:

So science says if you're vaccinated it's impossible to get or transmit covid-19 and that double-masking does not lower your own risk of transmitting or getting infected?

Please love, read closer.

Your original post

"Septuagenarian leader of the free world taking extra precautions to protect himself and others is totally the same as a woman who thinks a vaccine will magnetize her."

I can only assume the stating of his age is because of risk to him and you say to protect himself.

When we add the context (outdoors and vaccinated) it as noted prior; symbolic. I'm still waiting on the science that shows double masking lowers your own risk of getting infected.

Also, you argue non-equivalence in action yet continue to imply equivalence in how people would react to actions from either. Clearly POTUS has considerably more impact.

You are conveniently forgetting "and others" above.

No, I was saying both. Masks, even crappy ones, provide some degree of protection to the wearer. The primary rationale for them though (at least the cloth and surgical ones) is that they reduce the number large droplets expelled and limit the range of the ones that do escape.

My post recognizes both benefits.

Like I said, read closer my love.

his age has nothing to do with protecting others nor his importance

if precautions for him was the motivation he would stay inside and not travel about

hygiene theater that down sold the importance of the vaccine

You're right. His age is not relevant to him protecting other people. But it is relevant to him protecting himself. I gave both reasons.

Like I said, read closer my love.

Wrong. Masks were never about protecting oneself, only others, as you have always complained. And even then sneezing and coughing to provide dispersement of droplets in the air over a larger area. Which would of course lead to the HCAV "moment" one caught themselves in. Those droplets just dont fall instantaneouly to your pantsuit. In which case viral load is important.

You didn't answer my questions

Does out best science say if you're vaccinated it's impossible to get or transmit covid-19?

Does our best science say that double-masking does not lower your own risk of transmitting or getting infected?

You have a 1 in 15,000 chance of getting infected while vaccinated.
You have a 1 in 1,700 chance of encountering someone with Covid.
They have a 50% chance to give it to you with prolonged exposure.
So that’s 1 in 51,000,000 chance of getting infected all things being equal. Outside would make that even less likely.

You are 15 times more likely to die from a bee sting than this chain of events to occur.

Why are you artificially limiting double masking as protection from getting infected? The main rationale for masks has been that they aid others in not getting infected by catching the larger droplets and decreasing the range that droplets travel. Do you really think science would show that MORE droplets escape with two masks on or travel FARTHER when they have to travel through multiple layers than a single layer?

How is telling people to take preventive measures, done symbolically, "more dangerous" than telling people to not get vaccinated?

So basically all you’re doing is this you know shrew sister? Hilarious 🤡CFAF3739-FAB4-48BA-952F-A804B4DE12FE.jpeg

By your reasoning, there should be only 7 new people that get covid in the united states at some point in the future (51 million x 7 = 355 million, which exceeds the US population). Wanna do a little wager on that one?

You have a 1 in 292 million chance of winning the powerball lottery. By your logic there would only be one winner a year.
