>We are still suffering, not from COVID itself, but from the reaction to it. You are absolutely correct. We are suffering from the reaction of selfish people who can't even put on a god damn mask or take a vaccine to help someone else and act like children spouting out "mah freedom!" because they can't possibly imagine doing something to help others.

  They are not retarded, just religious. If you think why people are not reasonable and cannot think straight. Just think it is their religion. No arguments can make them think. If they believe wearing mask can save the world, there is nothing you can do.

    It is often so. But be careful of yourself. It's really easy to say "My position is self-evidently right, and the only reason they can't see it is because they're blinded by their religion", when your position is also at least partly religious, and you aren't really listening to reason either. This is especially true with something like Covid, where there were (at least) two opposing religious views. And each side could look at the irrationality of the other side and say "See? We're right, and they're insane." They were using the irrationality of the other side as evidence to support their own (also irrational) position. (When I say both were irrational, I do not mean that both were equally irrational. But Covid policy positions solidified mainly into two different camps, and both camps had their religious elements. And both camps used the other side's religious elements to prove to themselves their own rightness.)

      My position is if you are religious to wear a mask, I am fine with that. If you are religious to not wear a mask, I am fine with that too. Just don't force any of your religion on me.

A more charitable interpretation -- and we should always favor those -- is that these people are just fine with helping others, but not with being manipulated by governments and media into doing things that aren't actually necessary and that (in the case of masks) do have a downside.

  Whatever. I'm tired of knowing people like you exist after the past few three years. Selfish prick.
