Will you get vaccinated against COVID once it's available?

What I do know is that masks were recommended in 2009 for H1N1. You wore one, right?

I don't recall that at all.

You don't recall wearing one or you don't recall the recommendation?

Either way, the point I was trying to make is that until now neither of you ever gave a shit about anyone else when making a healthcare choice for yourself. Get over your self-righteousness.

I'll infer that didn't give a crap about the health of others and failed to wear a mask as recommended by the CDC.

You should actually read what you link to.

In community and home settings, the use of facemasks and respirators generally are not recommended.

And you should read fully. I'm guessing you didn't click on the link that provided a table.

I did read it. That is ONLY for persons at high risk of severe illness. Look at the top of the column. For persons not at high risk, the table says not recommended.

Conveniently leaving off the headings of those columns. The first is pretty much everyone the second is people at risk of serious disease.

Cherry picking data makes for a weak argument.

Did you even read that? Specifically table 1 they refer to in the main text?
Persons who had no increased risk of serious illness did NOT have masks recommended.

Compared to Covid, during 2009-10 H1N1 was a minor leaguer. Totally unlike the version from 1918.

Harder to catch, nearly always not much more than a bad cold.
The comparison isn't even close.
