Why the mask? Why the vaccine?

Why the mask? Why the vaccine?

Since nil blocked me,

I'll leave this content, here:

This is how it works: (kingcounty.gov)

V = Set of Vaccinated People U = Set of Unvaccinated People

V={[those ill with COVID-19 * time ill], [those severely ill with COVID-19 * time ill]} U ={[those ill with COVID-19 * time ill], [those severely ill with COVID-19 * time ill]}

Σ:V < Σ:U

Where Σ:X = total time ill (severe or otherwise) with COVID-19.

Desired outcome: minimize illness with COVID-19 to prevent viral shedding which reduces future infections, death, hospitalizations, and severity of illness.

This is a probabilities game and the vaccines reduce the probability that you run into another person who is currently shedding enough of the virus that you become infected with it. It doesn't protect you from that person who is severely ill, however. The "protection" comes into play because Σ:V < Σ:U. That's it.

Are you transgender?

No, straight, white, male.

Edit - Why? Are you looking for fellow transgendered people on Poal? This is probably the wrong place for that. Try reddit.

So you put the value U for VACCINATED, and V for UNVACCINATED.

I wonder, is this a "funny" to you? Or are you simply a mouth-breather with superiority complexes?

Nice catch. When I copied and pasted my comment from another location, I swapped the sentences. Fixed.
