If the only people that would survive this virus are the mask wearers, then why are millions of us who don't wear them still alive and healthy? Answer: Masks cannot contain a virus. The viral particle is too small. If a mask could trap the virus, then whenever you touch the mask or inhale you would contaminate yourself. Masks do harbor bacteria from all that touching with contaminated hands and this can lead to bacterial pneumonia and atelectasis from suppressed deep breathing, especially when worn for hours upon hours. Mask wearing also hinders herd immunity and suppresses the natural immune response. Adequate oxygenation is essential to a strong immune response. A weakened immune response makes a person more vulnerable to future viruses and other illnesses. It has never been about your health, in fact quite the opposite.
