I don't care if masks work or not.

If you want to change someone's mind, keep it really simple, and to one point.

Don't argue about masks, don't bother making arguments about vaccines, just simply state that the disease is not very deadly, and has a mortality rate of 3 people out of 10,000 if you are under 50 years of age.

It doesn't matter whether masks work or not

It doesn't matter whether the vaccine is safe or dangerous.

What matters is that the disease itself is basically a non-issue to start with.

certainly kill more people a year. We should tackle obesity first

I’ve gone down this road. The next beat in this conversation heads right into masks/social distancing. “You can’t catch obesity (or heart disease or diabetes or cancer) from being in the same room as a fatty.”

Maybe you aren't very good at convincing people.

It doesn’t always happen in real time, because many people are slow. But perhaps the demographics (cnet2.cbsistatic.com) in my area as compared to yours contribute to cognizance of the weakness in this disease comparison.

You can if they concernfag about others' eating habits and make you feel like shit because you choose not to gorge yourself on food.

The concernfaggery about "Are you anorexic?" or "Are you dieting? You don't need to be dieting, you're skinny as fuck" when you eat a normal human-sized portion instead of enough food to last a week in one sitting, is quite bluntly just sad.

“You can’t catch obesity (or heart disease or diabetes or cancer) from being in the same room as a fatty.”

How could they know that for certain? Also, no one knows how covid is spread, the "science" changes by the day.

It might even be possible to spin it as the obesity crisis and the covid crisis are one and the same as microplastics can be linked to obesity, science presently claims that covid can live far longer on a microplastic particle than it can in even a water droplet, and microplastics are known to be circulated throughout the world by wind and rain. As a bonus, my experience has been that those on the left/"low-info" types are already conditioned to opposition towards microplastics

How do people know they won’t catch or spread obesity/diabetes/cancer/heart disease by breathing it in? Is this what you’re asking?
