I cannot care less about what his opinion is on masks insofar as it's effect on whether or not I wear one. That is my choice and I own the consequences. On the other hand there is some theories solid proof/b] that masks protect other more than the wearer. In this regard I believe locally based laws and regs are appropriate. And if you are breaking the law by not wearing one I think that too should be something one is ready to face the consequences of.
Masks are mostly about stopping the spread, not about protecting the wearer.
It's too bad "laws and regs" are requires to prevent reckless endangerment of others.
Asymptomatic carriers who've been brainwashed by covid-denial/anti-mask propaganda don't suffer any consequences for the harm they're doing.
