they are merely arguing that you should take your respirator off because it's weird and offputting, and defending it in any way is suggesting that their N95 isn't good enough and how dare you they are so offended by your clear mental illness

lol, nobody bitching about respirator crew is wearing an N95.

this is what I mean, this is a fundamental misunderstanding of how risk post vaccination works

do I really need to point-out that there are other infectious diseases out there that are really bad and can hurt you? these things already exist, with less effective protection available, and life goes on

What communicable airborne diseases do you think are on the level of COVID-19 that people willingly expose themselves to on a daily basis?

if you saw someone walking down the street in a business suit wearing a helmet, you might think twice about that. some people might even say, hey, what's with the helmet? this is despite the unarguable fact that walking around with a helmet on is safer than not. all the same, might strike some as overly cautious.

does this help explain your fellow man a bit?

really cannot put into words how loving insulting it is for a physician to post in this thread about how, because none of his anaesthesiologist friends got covid and died, it was completely fine for others to work with inadequate ppe. workers in my hospital system died. good, kind people dedicated to caring for others are dead because they were exposed to covid positive patients with only used n95s or surgical masks to protect them. in many areas healthcare workers are STILL being denied appropriate ppe by their employers. in the usa and the uk it has disproportionately been healthcare workers of color who die of covid. their deaths are unimportant tho, more important to mock randos maintaining precautions during an uncontrolled pandemic

If im walking down the street in a respirator, no one knows if im vaccinated or not. They dont know if I have a massive allergic response to an ingredient in a vaccine.

Maybe they should stop being such judgemental loving freaks and let people protect themselves to the level they feel comfortable with.

How do people like her not understand that everything we're doing to stop the spread is not just because we're concerned for our own personal safety? The way out of this has always been vaccines and stopping spread with distancing.

A lot of people got the vaccine thinking it was their personal "back to normal" card and when you ask them to keep doing things like wear a mask around un-vaccinated people their immediate reaction is "Well then why did I even bother getting vaccinated?" We've been hearing a lot of that in our "back to the office" calls.

Most people just don't consider or care about anyone but themselves and maybe their immediate family. I guess that's been staring us in the face for over 14 months at this point but it still catches me off guard.

when an anesthesiologist came in to check on my wife's epidural last october they were basically wearing a moonsuit and a papr and my first reaction was to be really concerned or scared

just so long as they had paged the anesthesiologist before they went into the covid ward...

Seasonal flu is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths and half a million hospitalizations every year in the US alone, all of which would be severely reduced if we took it more seriously. Pretty fun seeing assholes claiming to liberal unironically using “are you pussies scared of the flu too?” If we weren’t a society of sociopaths we’d normalize mask wearing during flu season anyway (plus mandatory paid sick leave, etc).

we can go by mortality rate and something you wouldn’t be shocked to be infected by. Like, not Hantaviruii or something.

For willing you can just assume people don’t take above and beyond protection when in a situation that might get them infected.

Who cares what PPE you wear in public. Plenty of countries where wearing PPE, especially if sick, is considered baseline behaviour. I would never look to the united States to define any "acceptable behaviour" lol
