Please tell all us non medical students how you were 100% right though....

I figured there was no point in trying to debate something I didn't say. After all, while you said "near instant" I said "not for all that long". If you can't see the difference, you're an idiot, quite frankly. Then again, no news there.
For the record: 5-15 minutes on skin and up to a few hours on hard surfaces isn't all that long, especially when you consider that it isn't an on/off switch - the longer you wait, the more viral particles die off, with the minimum needed for any significant chance of infection being reached near the maximum time. Before that, however, chances already decrease rapidly as more and more particles die off.
But that aside, the reason I'll ignore you from now on is another (although related) one: you can't comprehend the very simple fact that infected people are the ones spreading the virus (both to people and objects), and that lowering the rate of infection will thus also lower the rate of new infections.
It's the reason I kept asking you whether you understood how the virus gets spread (a question which you failed to answer several times), and it's why you keep insisting on the incredibly dimwitted idea that vaccinations do not prevent the spread of infections among specifically localized groups of people.
Quite frankly, there is no point in talking with someone who doesn't understand that very, very simple mechanism even after having had it explained to him several times.
