You said the covid vaccine is ineffective resulting in the need for mask use. If you understand that the covid vaccine increases the chances of a reduction in symptom severity, then you should understand that it doesn't prevent someone from becoming infected and spreading it to others, which, in the case that masks reduce infection, would be plainly warranted in the case of a new surge. So I'm having trouble understanding why you would connect the idea of the vaccine being ineffective and the need for mask use.
Why don't masks reduce the spread of infected respiratory droplets? Why wouldn't people staying at home stop the virus from spreading to new hosts?
I'm not interested in a comparison between infection rate/deaths in NY and FL as covid spreads most in densely-populated areas and NYC's population is magnitudes larger than Jacksonville or Miami.
