All these arguments made by Anti-Maskers and I’ve only seen one that wasn’t complete nonsense or flat out ignorant.
“If your mask works then why are you making me wear one”: Because that’s not how it works

“But the WHO, CDC, and the Surgeon General said specifically not to wear masks”: Yeah it’s called learning new things about a disease that’s not even a year old.
“But masks suffocate me”: If you have the respiratory disease that actually makes you suffocate when wearing a mask then you’re probably amongst the vulnerable groups that we need to isolate in order to move on. If mental issues make you suffocate then I can see your concern. If
You’re neither of those then stop being a drama queen

“Masks are an infringement on my rights and the government is using it to control us”: If you’re in a area that makes you wear it outdoors you could have a fair argument but when it comes to a business that mandates masks in

Some studies that say 6 ft may not be enough for indoor spaces

“Why are we made to wear masks for a disease with ‘99.99% Survival Rate”: Because a lot of people are still dying from it, and let’s not forget that there have been instances of people who recovered having
Chronic lung issues, so while I applaud you for not being too scared of the virus but that doesn’t mean you should be a selfish prick

Maybe these mask mandates are some kind of Government Psyop, but it is still far too early to make that sort of call
I’ll update this thread if I encounter any more shitty arguments. These are just the ones I can come up with off the top of my head
