A lot of leftists on social media are Big Mad that DSA required masks at their National Convention.

Of all the things you could critique DSA on, this is the hill you're going to die on? 
DSA deciding to do a mask mandate at this event is unequivocally good and based. Shut the fuck up, you fucking dipshits.
Imagine being this much of a fucking goddamn crybaby about masking. Eat shit, you ableist fucks.
One of the biggest lessons this pandemic has taught me is the astounding number of people for whom leftism is really just performative, and that when push comes to shove, these people will make the biggest fucking stink about having to do something even mildly inconvenient for even a single fucking event or context and show themselves for who they really are.
The vaccines reduce the chance of becoming infected moderately, but they don't prevent infection. They considerably reduce the chance of severe symptoms requiring hospitalization, and the risk of death. However they only reduce the chance of Long Covid, and it's unclear by how much they reduce it.
Up to date vaccines help a great deal, but they're not a silver bullet. You still run the risk of long covid.
Whereas if two people are wearing properly fitted N95 masks and one of them has Covid the risk of the other contracting Covid is very, very small.
covid shouldnt be the only reason to be wearing a mask out in public. pollution, pollin, and other diseases basically mean people should be wearing one practically all the time. plus wearing one makes me feel more like a cute femboy uwu
I tell myself i look cyberpunk af wandering around masked up. I don't but I tell myself I do.
Not getting kicked in the balls by my allergies because I was masking basically anytime i left the house that first summer of covid was kinda revelatory
