I'm not sure where this weird hatred of masks is coming from, not just among the dissident right but also from normiecons. Are there any studies which show that wearing a mask is an objectively bad thing for your health? Is it just because of the social-conformity aspect?

I wear a mask for work and unlike the vaccine which I absolutely will not get, I really doubt there's any large downsides to it. The mask that I wear is specially made so that it offers nearly 100% UV protection as well. There are a million better things for you to get mad about.

I reluctantly wear a mask indoors. I do not wear a mask outdoors unless in crowds where people are well within six foot. We have known since lst April that covid transmission outdoors is rare, and really only happens when people standing around, do not social distance. The evidence is now pretty much incontrovertible. There are problems with wearing masks outdoors. Less oxygen, masks get soiled from extended wear, etc.
