Why I Will No Longer Be Wearing a Mask

And neither should you.

There is no world in which COVID-19 is still a threat that I will not be wearing a mask when I interact with other people. Yes, I tried to clickbait you. I’m curious to see who will actually read this, and who will simply comment or share without putting in the effort to click the link.

Wear a mask. Please. It could save your life, my life, or the life of someone you don’t know. There is absolutely no evidence that wearing a mask weakens your immune system, or that it decreases blood oxygen saturation levels. Mark Lewis (@marklewismd on Twitter) wore 30 masks at once over an extended period of time to prove that his oxygen saturation would still remain in the normal range. He’s not the only one to test this out; literally hundreds of other physicians have taken to Twitter with their results from similar experiments.

So please, listen to reason, science, and people who know what they’re talking about. This is not a political issue; it is a matter of saving lives. Wearing a mask is a small price to pay to continue to go about your day as normal as possible.

Sincerely,
A concerned medical student.
