I will play along and answer the question:
Mask, vax, or both?
Neither, I believe we all know it is all about the money in our profit driven economic world system full of corruption and abuse.
Vaccine development and production is economically complex and prone to market failure, because financial returns are usually minimal and the financial and other risks are great.
Vaccine research and development is done by many small companies, public health institutions and universities however large-scale vaccine manufacturing is done by an oligopoly of big manufacturers, this pharma oligopoly represents a barrier in developing lifesaving vaccines without making a lot of money out of this business.
This oligopoly power allows vaccine manufacturers to engage in price fixing and discrimination, and vaccine prices are often inflated and made unaffordable to many, the poor.
In most cases, pharmaceuticals including vaccines are developed with public funding, but profits and control of price and availability are legally accorded to private companies.
The profits of large pharmaceutical companies are mostly used on dividends and share buybacks, which inflate executive pay, and on lobbying and advertising.
The United States has always proved an inviting home for fraudsters, conmen and outright swindlers. Fraud-deception has been a key feature of American business since its beginnings, and this business model is now the world’s model because of the United States economic and cultural influence all over.
This Virus 🦠 is one more example of the corruption and abuse perpetrated on the world population by unscrupulous promoters of an almost theatrical but so real dramatic event, who are gaming the system to their own advantage.
