Will you get vaccinated against COVID once it's available?

I guess it’s because I am a horrible young person that this makes no sense whatsoever.

What a crock. All packs said is if you're going to stand next to him please wear a mask. Your initial post made some very good points but you aren't sustaining it. Total straw man.

Peter / Packs,

When have you ever made a decision about your own health and thought about how it might effect others? Name a time. I'll wait.

When I found out there was a novel communicable disease I wore a mask when in public for the benefit of myself and others. Something I continue to do.

I'm talking about before this pandemic. Do I need to reword the question?

Pre-pandemic, when have you ever made a decision about your own health and thought about how it might effect others? Name a time. I'll wait.

Did you ever wear a mask during flu season to protect others?

[vintagetoppsguy]

Do you cover your entire body so that a mosquito can't bite you and transmit Zika virus or West Nile virus to others?

Oh, excellent point. I get flu shots every year. I'm also a big believer in practicing safe sex.

Until the pandemic, I haven't had to. Since the pandemic, despite thinking I probably have very good natural immunity based on my history, diet, etc., I've worn a mask any time I have gone out where there are other people. I certainly don't want to unwittingly infect anyone, and am willing to endure a minor inconvenience for their sake. And no this isn't virtue signaling, just an answer to the question.

In other words, you don't give a shit about people so you don't wear a mask during flu season and are willing to pass it on, right?

When did any public health authority ever tell the public it should wear masks during flu season to control transmission? Feels like a fake point to me.

Hmmm...I don't know. I'll actually have to research that.

What I do know is that masks were recommended in 2009 for H1N1. You wore one, right?
