It is the tone. “Duh” implies that they think the person asking the question is stupid for not knowing the answer. It always depends on how the word is used. For example, in Shakespeare’s ‘Julius Caesar’, Antony turns the term “honorable man” to have a negative connotation in order to persuade a crowd. Even though the words usually have a positive connotation, you can manipulate them to mean otherwise.
Both points are valid. You have the right to say what you want, and atheist voices matter just as much as religious ones, but that doesn’t mean you can go around insulting other peoples’ religions. You couldn’t do that as a religious person either.
In addition, even if God doesn’t exist, praying has benefits for people that do. It can give people closure and a sense of security when they need it.
*”It took decades for some bacteria to become antibiotic-resistant, and you still usually don’t hear about those outside of hospitals.
And it has nothing to do with “strength”; viruses don’t work out — they just mutate. And yet we still give all sorts of vaccinations every year (child vaccines, flu, tetanus, shingles, pneumonia, etc.). Why? Because they work (for most people).”*
This is faulty logic.
As a response to the second paragraph, bacteria are not the same as viruses. For example, bacteria are alive. Viruses aren’t. They spread in different ways, and viruses generally evolve much faster.
As a response to the second, this is faulty logic. We need to use vaccines every year because these viruses keep adapting. The flu shot, for example. Scientists are constantly working on new vaccines for new variations of the flu.
You are partially correct, though, and I can see where you got the idea from. Viruses and bacteria are commonly used synonymously, making them easy to confuse. In addition, there will likely not be a COVID variant that completely outclasses vaccines, because we can keep creating more vaccines.
However, we do still need masks. They aren’t that big of a deal to wear, no matter how many people wine about their rights being violated. It’s like dress code in a store. If you can be kicked out for no shoes, you can be kicked out for no mask.
The new delta variant can get through the vaccines fairly well. One of my family members, completely vaccinated with a booster a couple weeks prior, got COVID. Masks are an easy way to keep the spread down.
In conclusion, vaccines aren’t perfect but they help, and masks are still necessary. I don’t know about you, but if I can save a life by wearing a mask in public for a year, I will happily do so.
This was not made with any malicious intent; only my thoughts on the matter.
What’s even crazier are the two people eating chips holding a bowl of salsa in the Tostitos logo.
