I believe, that some people put on that Covid denialism because they are unable to face the truth out of fear. And every mask is a reminder of that fear. I don’t have proof, but I know people who work that way with a lot of things, from climate to covid to Russia.

You are right, but why rely on a single method of protection? Vaccinations are good, but not perfect.

Think of it as using a condom despite being on birth control pills: you are not just unlikely, but really really unlikely to get pregnant and it also protects from stds.

Sometimes it’s easier to check ChatGPT’s answers, ask follow up questions, look at the sources it provides and live with the occasional hallucinations than to sift through the garbage pile that google search has become.
