My wife has Cystic Fibrosis and her lungs operate at around 60% capacity. She wears an N95 mask everyday in her classroom. While I concur that there are folks that have medical issues that prevent them from wearing a mask, it's not as many that make that claim.
My wife and I are both educators. I've seen the studies you’re referring to. I question their data collection methods.
And my reason for wearing a mask doesn't come from the government, it comes from a team of respiratory doctors from UPenn, who treat my wife's condition.

A vaccine is defined as a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease. If the covid shot was a vaccine people wouldn't be getting sick after having had it. The problem is it is a glorified flu shot. It hopes to target the latest strand of the mutation. If the vaccine was a true vaccine, one you got it you'd be good to go, or at minimum be substantially reduced on chance of getting the illness. The problem is covid is a missing virus that will be with us for the foreseeable future. This isn't because the unvaccinated are killing the world, it's because it's a mutating virus that will do what is necessary to survive.
The fact that many think we can eradicate this virus with minor little cheaply made, non sealing, improper particle filtering masks and an experimental (yes I said experimental because there's no idea of long term effects or effectiveness) "vaccine" is narcissistic and ignorant.

Ditto. I wash my hands, maintain proper hygiene, and stay away from people if I'm ill. The primary difference I've seen over the last 18 months is I'm yet to see someone yell at someone for wearing a mask, but I've personally been repeatedly mocked, shamed, and discriminated against because I don't because I can't wear a mask. I agree with a person's decision to do what they feel is right for their family, but don't force me into doing what you feel is right for yours. (Not directed at you big1276.)
