I have no idea where you're going here. Wearing masks and getting vaccinated benefit both the individual and the population. (That actually contributed to it being politicized -- your choices affect my chances of getting a nasty disease).

At the individual level, you wear a mask when appropriate and get vaccinated, then you're less likely to get the disease and it's likely to be less severe if you do. Likewise, the population benefits from less disease spread, and less strain on the healthcare system as many of these cases become outpatient "take some Paxlovid" type deals.

Where is there any sort of basis for anti-mask and anti-vax theology here?
