Even having under my belt multiple biology classes, (general, human, micro, genetics, a&p) several animal sciences, and a firm understanding of vaccine science; I still couldn't convince a guy that it's not some conspiracy and that the risks (mainly allergic) are negligible compared the dangers and possible life-long complications of unmitigated COVID. There is just no reasoning with these people, their understanding is just borked.

Even wearing a mask was a controversy. I always get blank stares though when I ask them why a surgeon wears a mask and to be sure to tell their surgeon not to wear one if they have surgery.

I wish masks weren’t controversial. N95 kept my dust mite allergy at bay.
