We are a completely logical species. The best for humanity in general is for everyone to vaccinate, mask up, and socially distance. The best for “me personally, disregarding everyone else” is to vaccinate, yes, but not mask up and not socially distance. The harm that one person causes by not masking up and not socially distancing is miniscule. The harm that everyone causes by not masking up and not socially distancing is tremendous. But “I myself” cannot control everyone else. For me, with all that I can control, benefits vs costs, the most logical decision is to not mask up and not socially distance. If everyone were deciding as one unit, the most logical decision would be to mask up and socially distance. But one person cannot decide for everyone. If you mask up and socially distance, covid is still going to spread just as much because you can’t control others. Snowflake in an avalanche situation.
