Also similar info on TheHighwire: Anti-maskers: Right or Selfish?

The doctors wearing them for a long time also complain about health problems.
There is a risk-balance between exposure and Oxygen/CO2 problems.

I get a headache in less than 2 minutes and a feels like it's exploding level of pain in less than 5. Granted I have other health issues, but no free pass for not wearing one.

Luckily I seem to have found one in very breathable fabric, hopefully it's good enough. In totalitarian canuckistan, masks are ENFORCED.

They don't work and increase the chance of infection. Scientific studies showed that. Go check them on /s/coronavirus
Maybe there is an alternative that does work, like a face shield.

Another fact is that we are near herd immunity in most places. It is like wearing a condom at the baby-shower.
Also only a small % will get sick.

It would be better to identify the weak and keep them shielded with proper measures, even financial support. We can also help them with HCQ , that prevents covid-19 according to doctors.
But that is less "profitable", now the elite can buy huge properties for very cheap,
and sell non working medicine (Remdesivir/ Vaccine).

Yeah I wish I wasn't forcibly made to wear one, but getting beaten down by cops for ordering coffee without a mask isn't very appealing to me.
