You were doing so well until you hit the bolded part. There is zero evidence anywhere to indicate any danger in wearing a mask. That's just fearmongering. The media is doing plenty of that already. They don't need others adding fuel to the fear factory.
"The MSM and Fauxchi would have us believe that wearing a mask will protect YOU."
Everyone wearing a mask DOES protect you. Reducing the transmission of a dangerous pathogen is helpful. If fewer people have it, fewer people are spreading it, and it's being spread to fewer people, which means that the risk of you getting it before a vaccine comes out is vastly reduced. THAT is how everyone wearing a mask protects you.
"Unless someone is coughing on you or sneezing on you or yelling in your face, wearing a mask accomplishes nothing"
No, all it takes is someone speaking, breathing, singing, yelling, coughing, sneezing, or anything else that involves forced exhalation within ~6 feet of you. Why 6 feet? Because respiratory droplets - which are the primary transmission source for COVID-19 and are >5-10um - fall to the ground quickly due to their weight. Thus, their typical travel distance is <6ft. However, in a grocery store or a subway car or a lot of other indoor public places, 6 feet is often a lot more space than you actually have between people.
All the amateur masks can do is stop gobs of phlegm. And if your are coughing or sneezing gobs of phlegm you should stay home.
I’ve been fit tested for PPE per OSHA standards my whole career, what I see in public is laughable. People are touching their masks all the time, they take them on and off thus loading them up with everything they have on their hands. That’s probably why cases surged along with mask mandates, and why people wearing masks get covid anyway.
The fact of the matter is that the world has overreacted to this virus on an unprecedented and dangerous scale. There is no actual evidence that wearing masks has prevented a single death. If there is give me the name of the person.
