You are the one who caught herpes and is happy you can blame it now on your vaccine, not having unprotected scat sex in back alleys.

it protects others from being sneezed or coughed on (droplets)
It does not protect against COVID aerosol format

Paper Mask
Effective for: These masks are intended to filter larger nuisance dusts from the air, such as pollen or sawdust, which are much larger than virus particles. Like surgical masks, they provide some barrier protection for the wearer and those in close contact with the wearer.
Limitations: Though made of filtering material, they are not designed to filter inhaled particles as small as viruses and don’t form a face seal.

nderstanding Particles, Droplets and Aerosols
We know SARs-CoV-2 is spread through respiratory droplets expelled by an infected person, such as during a cough or sneeze. Depending on the person and force of their breath, these droplets could be large enough to see (e.g., spittle during a hacking cough) or so tiny that they hang in the air and are invisible to the naked eye (e.g., during regular breathing).
Safety and health professionals have a term for these tiny particles that get suspended in the air – aerosols. The consensus is that SARs-CoV-2 particles can become aerosolized, which is critical to understanding how the virus spreads. That’s because gravity forces larger particles to the ground fairly quickly, but smaller, aerosolized particles can linger in the air for much longer. Being suspended in the air makes it much more likely for a virus to be breathed in, versus being on a surface and needing to be brought to our face by our hands.
The potential for airborne transmission – getting the virus from simply being in a room with an infected person for an extended period of time – is what’s driving the recommendations over masks and other facial coverings. So will any of these masks actually protect you from the virus?
Comparing N95s, Surgical Masks and Cloth Masks
First, let’s be clear that there’s no comparison between a correctly worn respirator, such as an N95, and other types of masks and facial coverings. Respirators are designed – and scientifically proven – to filter extremely small particles from the air. N95s and more protective options like elastomeric or half-face respirators are so effective because they form a tight seal to the wearer’s face, which forces all the inhaled air to pass through the filter.
Unfortunately, this is also why N95s are in such short supply. Knowing that it’s not realistic for everyone to wear an N95 respirator, let’s take a look at the potential benefits and limitations of other options in more detail.
Surgical Mask
Effective for: The primary purpose of these masks is to protect other people from the wearer’s respiratory droplets. These masks also give some barrier protection against larger respiratory droplets from other people.
Limitations: Because there’s no facial seal, surgical masks don’t reliably filter enough smaller airborne particles to count as respiratory protection. One study found surgical masks can filter about 60 percent of smaller, inhaled particles. (By comparison, an N95 would filter 95 percent of these particles.)
Paper Mask
Effective for: These masks are intended to filter larger nuisance dusts from the air, such as pollen or sawdust, which are much larger than virus particles. Like surgical masks, they provide some barrier protection for the wearer and those in close contact with the wearer.
Limitations: Though made of filtering material, they are not designed to filter inhaled particles as small as viruses and don’t form a face seal.
Homemade Cloth/Fabric Mask
Effective for: Homemade masks provide some barrier protection from large respiratory droplets expelled by other people. Perhaps most importantly, they reduce the spread of respiratory droplets emitted by the wearer. In one study, coughing through a cotton mask significantly reduced the amount of SARs-CoV-2 particles transferred to a test surface.
Limitations: As above, these masks don’t form a tight seal to the face and don’t reliably filter small inhaled particles. Attempts to measure the effectiveness of cloth masks to filter small particles show a wide range of results: cotton T-shirt (seven percent), shop towel (19 percent), coffee filter (49 percent). Material type and thickness (e.g., cotton, denim, canvas), fit to face (e.g., flexible nose bridge) and use of an internal filter (e.g., coffee filter) are just some of the variables that affected filtering efficiency.

Your results are made up, aren't they?
The Mayo Clinic says the antibody test you got only reveals if you have the antibodies, not how many you have. Furthermore, they also say that you should assume you can catch COVID again, even if you test positive for antibodies.
So this is another example of your Selective Listening Habit.
Just like with Fauci and the masks on March 2nd 2020, you fixate on a portion of what was said and ignore everything else...then you lie about it and paint a distorted, oversimplified and inaccurate picture that you then shift the goalposts on the more it's held to scrutiny.
