These people refuse to put 2 and 2 together. And the craziest thing, is that it's in all of their sources.
If you listen only to the scientific data that Pfizer put out you would know that:
Masks don't prevent you from getting Covid, they are only useful in stopping you from spreading it, under the assumption that you are an asymptomatic carrier. No one who sold the vaccines themselves said otherwise.
The vaccines only give you a 30% reduction in viral load, which is why you don't need to get hospitalized, and it only works for the Covid-19 strains that it actually is designed to effect, and it's only good for 3-6 months due to the adaptability of the virus.
I've literally had to read this stuff back to people who hand me MSNBC articles and claim "the vaccine prevents you from getting infected." Not only no, but your own article tells you it doesn't.
So here we have an idiot not understanding why the vaccine isn't doing what it's not designed to do, then turning around and saying that someone else said they weren't effective.
Masks don't prevent you from getting Covid, they are only useful in stopping you from spreading it, under the assumption that you are an asymptomatic carrier.
And that is even assuming a perfect usage of the mask. My dad was opposed to masking from the get-go because as a [retired] first responder, it made no sense to him. The average person would be touching their mask, moving it around, breaking the seals, and in general contaminating things (and this is before we get to the shit on your hands). He also believed mask gave people a false sense of security and caused people to get close and spread it because they thought the mask protected them.
Needless to say, when he went into a business that tried to enforce mask, malicious compliance was the order of the day.
Correct, assuming you had the correct mask, sterilized it regularly (or only wore new ones) and wore it all day correctly; then the mask may stop you from being an asymptomatic spreader.
Meanwhile, if I get allergies from weed pollen, my only solution is to wear a full 3M face shield with filter. I actually had to sleep in it at one point this year. If a virus is 1/1000th the size of pollen, what the fuck makes you think your stupid fucking cloth mask does shit?
Not to mention the fact that asymptomatic spread is incredibly rare. It's almost impossible because they don't have a high enough viral load in their throats. They could cough in your face and you still wouldn't get it 99/100 times.
It's kind of a Mott and Bailey strategy in thier own articles when you think about it. The thing they assert perpetually is the title and the framing of it, then they are forced to retreat into the reality of paragraph 24.
Therefore: "The news media isn't lying because we put the truth in there somewhere"

I'm not sure these people realise that it does not simply require a big enough Twitter mob to make it retire from public life...
Twitter is real life to these people, that's the problem.

Those articles were not written for people who read past the headline.
You're right.
