It’s not my job to prove masks don’t work. That isn’t how science works. It’s your job to prove masks are worth their costs to society. It’s your job to prove that I need to be forced to wear one for two years now. I see virtually no evidence that suggests masks do anything meaningful to the spread of Covid—especially enough to justify forcing service workers to wear them 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for two years straight. Especially now that anybody can get a vaccine. Why should service workers be required to wear them? To protect fully vaccinated people who are still afraid of Covid? Seems pretty selfish to ask that if people. Especially when service workers get bullied and gaslight by rich tech workers who think “masks are virtually costles” while their only time masking is their 1 hour weekly trip to the grocery store… These Covid measures are nothing more than forcing the lower class to protect the upper class (or at least pretends to. It’s all theater and we all know it). It is incredibly privileged to support any of the nonsense we’ve mandated the last two years.

It’s not my job to prove masks don’t work. Not my job, either. I'm not a doctor or public health authority. That's where I go for advice; do you have better sources in mind?

  I don’t care if they work or not. Public health officials get to communicate health information. They don’t get to force the population to wear masks for 2 years. That isn’t their job even if you or they think it is. You might love masks but not everybody feels the same way. Leave people the hell alone.

    Your perspective is valid, but it exists on a continuum. It's clearly possible for the "I have the right to be the next Typhoid Mary" perspective to be carried too far. That's the whole dilemma in a nutshell... how far is too far? I'm not qualified to say, and it looks like you aren't either, given the lack of actionable guidance you're offering. "Leave people the hell alone" isn't an option, because you live in a populated, civilized nation rather than on a deserted private island. (I will note, however, that they won't shoot you at the border for trying to leave.)
