He is exactly correct.

Wearing a mask INCREASES the chance of getting the virus.

People wearing masks touch their face 5 times more often than people who do not. Most people constantly readjust their mask. Touching surfaces (counters, handles, windows, railings,etc) and then bringing whatever is on your fingers to your face is the best way to get the virus. Masks only increase the amount of touching of your face, therefore increasing the risk.

Until now, I didn’t realize how little I touched my face, before.
Since Hogan’s Mask Command, I find myself pawing at my face all the time, trying to keep the damn thing up, take it off, put it on, etc etc etc.

Thanks for the explanation.

"There was a study in 2015 looking at medical students. And medical students wearing surgical masks touch their faces on average 23 times. We know a major way that you can get respiratory diseases like coronavirus is by touching a surface and then touching your face."

That my friend, is simply absurd. YOU DO NOT CATCH a VIRUS BY TOUCHING YOUR FACE! That people evidently believe that you do is sad. The only touching that can infect you is by putting objects that have the virus on them that causes COVID into entrance into your body, like into your mouth. Which a mask actually works against!

And you saw that explanation being drilled. Into you so many times you now believe it.

Watch enough more recent explanations and you will start believing the reason to wear a mask is because it is a reminder NOT to touch your face.
