He is one of those people whom the CDC says is suffering from too much Carbon Dioxide re-inhalation. It dulls the mind, the senses, and the reaction. (I started a thread on it in mid 2020.)
I'd like to know how many serious accidents occurred in the USA since March 2020, where the driver was wearing a mask.

How can we be sure that our thoughts are not influenced by lobby-groups, or powerful industries ?
Refusing such a minor inconvenience on the assumption you're right, and they're wrong, also seems ignorant and arrogant.

Minor inconvenience?
I could easily become comatose from wearing one of the things. I would become immobile and unable to stand; that has actually happened. How exactly do you define "minor inconvenience"?
