  1. It doesn't exist anymore
  2. It does exist, but it's just another flu-like virus
  3. It's much worse than the flu, but it only affected other people so far, so it won't affect me

ample evidence exists to prove all 3 wrong

oh yea, the exotic chud response which they've conveniently memoryholed:
4) covid is fake and never existed

I work in a popular children’s arcade in my city and see dozens if not hundreds of different unmasked kids a day and yet I never get sick and am reasonably sure I have never had covid. My unmasked coworkers sure get sick a lot though!

Sorry you keep getting infected but you’re wrong about it being unavoidable. Maybe you’re doing something wrong or maybe you are just really unlucky or something, I don’t know, but respirators work. IIRC even when they fail to prevent an infection, they help reduce the severity of illness since they reduce viral load, but I’d have to do some digging for the source on that. In any case, the science supports masking to reduce the spread of covid.
