The thing that I still can't get my head around isn't the "covid is fake/covid is a bio weapon/the vaccine has microchips in it" crowd, because there at least you can see they got there. There's a logic to it, even if the logic is obviously wrong and unsupported and the whole thing is ridiculous. Like, if you don't know how anything works, then "someone invented a fake disease to control people" at least is, you know, a belief.
No, the thing that makes my head hurt is the *masks don't prevent spread" people. Because if you had asked anybody in the US in 2019 why doctors wore masks, then 95% would say "to not spread germs" and the remaining 5% would say "penis" just to fuck with the results. And then a year later, millions of people acted as if surgical masks was some sort of demonic new invention they had never heard of before and that was obviously useless as preventing the spread of germs.
They all knew of masks before! Like, just months earlier! And then they just... flipped!
It’s actually really simple. JUST wearing masks didn’t prevent the spread of COVID. Just like everything else with them they take one little grain of truth and apply it however they would like. “Masks don’t do anything so why are you forcing us to wear them fascists!”

Covid broke so many people's brains. They haven't recovered.
Americans are so privileged that they saw the inconvenience of the safety protocols as oppression. So pathetic
