Exhalation is not merely water vapor, it holds toxins the body gets rid of through the lungs. With masks these are partially rebreathed. Also mask strain the diaphragm promote claustrophobia. All of this is immunosuppressive. Masks in my view are useful for preventing blasts from coughing and sneezing, and from normal exhalation when people are close to each other. Otherwise, useless and even harmful.
You are entitled to your opinion. To me it just makes common sense, though, that rebreathing your air, and germs, and decreasing your oxygen while increasing your carbon dioxide is going to be unhealthy. Hypoxia is nothing to take lightly.
I was a resp. Therapist for many years I switched organs and went into dialysis later. While I was administering breathing treatments I always had people who absolutely believed that these breathing treatments were harmful to them and they insisted they could not breath with them. They would be on monitors, reading their O2 Sats that showed their O2 concentrations would actually elevate during the treatment---they refused to believe it. Some would just plain refuse to take the treatments.
I've been wearing a mask now for 4 hours, I have people over and they are wearing masks. My O2 sats were 97% before putting on my mask. After 1 hour they were still at 97%---after 2 hours, they were still at 97% After 4 hrs they were still at 97%. In over 30 years of being in the medical field, I've had to wear masks, sometimes for 10 hours a day, every day. No problems. Why are people insisting they are harmful?---'Cause they believe some idiot who told them so and others who have no actual experience with them just making stupid statements---even doctors do that. Having had to deal with drs. for all those years, I also came in contact with those who would talk without any actual knowledge. Some of them would say stuff that actually made us cringe---how stupid can you get.
I have nearly come to blows with drs! I refuse to be shouted down, intimidated, manipulated, much less lied to just because someone has Md after their name. When something is not right, it is not right no matter who says it. To say that masks are totally ineffective is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. And when it comes to disease---I'll take a 1% effective over 0 any day. 30 years of seeing people die in agony has taught me a few things. I wear a mask, and those who come to my home wear one. And for one thing---I simply do not see Jesus standing there screaming about His right to not wear a mask to help His fellow man. Jesus was all about others, never about self. I firmly believe He would wear one, and encourage others to wear them---even if He did not believe they did help. If nothing else to be courteous to others, and to follow the law of the land.
