    Except he’s not right in any sense with that logic. “masks didn’t work because people feel like they didn’t work” is not a valid argument.

      He is right in sense that vaccines “stopped” covid, while masks were mostly just slowing it down but not enough to “stop” it. That’s what I meant by being right in spirit. Otherwise I agree he is wrong.

        No, vaccines slowed covid even more than masks, but covid is still around. “Stop the spread” is a more catchy slogan than “Slow the spread” would have been.

          Yeah, it “stopped” covid only by slowing it down significantly. Also, more people have better immunity so many who wouuld have strong symptoms won’t have them and hospitals would not be overflowing.

          Covid is not really stopped, that’s why I used the quotation marks. But the worst things about it pretty much stopped thanks to it.
