One reason not to believe any "expert" on why people MUST wear masks (other than for a week the same experts were insisting masks are worthless), is because those experts truly do not care how many people die - as long at they die of anything but covid-19.
Masks kill people. They cause heart attacks. Strokes. Can kill elderly and children with lung issues. But IN PERFECT SELFISHNESS, they don't care nor do most people including on this forum. Everyone can die - just whatever keep THEM and YOU safe.
The degree that a mask blocks anything coming in is how much it blocks air coming in and co2 going out.
Q: Will wearing an N95 respirator make it hard to breathe normally?
A: N95 respirators may make breathing more difficult and lead to increased breathing and heart rates. Individuals with heart and respiratory conditions should check with their doctor before wearing an N95 respirator.

The difference in breathing (oxygen in/co2 out) can be enormous.

Simply, wearing a mask can be lethal to a person with a heart condition (which they may not be aware of) by forcing their heart rate and blood pressure to go up, having to pump more blood due to less oxygen and more co2. The dangers to people with COPD, ranging from the elderly to little children with breathing difficulties also can be exceptionally dangerous. Even a healthy person who tries to do serious physical effort (jogging etc) could pass out or suffer a heart attack due to wearing a mask. For a person with COPD, an N95 is little different than holding a pillow over their face.
Our bodies are oxygen burning organic machines. Clog up the air filter and exhaust pipe on your car and then floor it - and see how well it runs. Cross your fingers and hope you don't burn some valves. Never has an EMT or doctor said "quick, reduce the person's oxygen intake and increase the co2 in their blood!" To the opposite, in medical emergencies they administer MORE oxygen as routine. More oxygen takes strain off the heart and nearly all organs.
In addition, the human brain has a huge need for oxygen. Oxygen deprivation clouds a person's thinking, leads to bad and dangerous decisions, can alter personality, and cause brain damage. This is particularly true for little children whose brains are developing. Wearing an EFFECTIVE mask makes you stupid(er) - literally.
The sensation of suffocating is extremely powerful in a desperate sense - why waterboarding works even though the person knows they are not drowning. Anyone who has known anyone in the last stages of COPD/Emphyzema knows the extreme desperation a person feels unable to get enough oxygen - though more it is a problem of being unable to get rid of co2 from the body.
One reason people want to NOT wear masks is how much in inhibits their breathing. If they are just using a scarf or T-shirt material it is not as bad, because masks made out of scarfs and clothing material are basically worthless. The less the mask restricts breathing, the less it offers any protection. It is INSTINCTIVE that NORMAL people will resist anything that inhibits their breathing. The more effective the mask is, the more instinctively a person will resist wearing it. In fact, people can buy N95s - but even those who have them won't wear them for that reason. So instead they use a "surgical mask" or some worthless homemade "mask," because it offers less restriction on breathing - in exchange for being worthless at protecting anyone.
People don't want to wear masks because the level of effectiveness of the mask equals the level of oxygen deprivation and elevated co2 in the blood. Thus, when telling people - particularly elderly - "you should wear a mask to protect OTHER people" - you are saying "you should risk your life to the #1 and #2 killers - heart attack and COPD - on behalf of others including who face little risk from covid-19." Commanding everyone wear a mask is commanding people to sacrifice their lives - and the experts know it too, but don't care. Only covid-19 deaths matter to them.
People don't want to wear masks because natural opposition to oxygen deprivation and suffocation is in our dna as one of the most core survival instincts.
