The only one of those I'll concede to you is the last. The rest are a product of not selecting the right mask for you.

I am not arguing or fighting, and definitely not seeking concessions. I just posted comments of fact in response to Dr. Griffin's tweet. As a person who doesn't regularly wear a mask, I am at the mercy of whatever is available at the exact moment (I've also tried buying several, and found none that I was comfortable with, and am not spending time and effort trying on different types to find what is least problematic).

I just heard this morning of a certain bochur, who has spoken to me a few times, and has been to my office always religiously wearing a face mask over his mouth and nose, to the extent that his speech was muffled, got COVID-19 (and is currently recovering).

Also one of the most severe current cases of COVID-19 in Crown Heights is someone who was extremely careful.

What type of mask? Was he indoors for extended periods of time with others? (Masked or nonmasked)
Everyone has their own idea of being careful. The question is if it's the right type of careful.
 That being said, I think everyone knows people who are careful in general who caught it. Remember, they can always catch it at home. A strong chain with a weak link can still break.
(What also has to be taken into account is the percentage of those who are careful who catch it vs those who aren't careful who catch it)

Wow! It took 9 months for him to finally catch it! (He should have a Refuah shleima!)

Wearing a mask around maskless people should at most only slightly prevent COVID if you're not also wearing eye protection. Though wearing a mask will decrease the viral load/severity of disease. Not sure why this is never mentioned.

It has been. Along with the whole "masks protect others from you more than they protect you from others" shpeil. It boggles my mind how no one ever expresses shock when someone is injured in a car accident while wearing a seat belt and driving carefully.

I really haven't seen eye protection mentioned at all. In the beginning of COVID there was a lot of discussion how the virus can enter from the nose, throat, and eyes, but for some reason all the mask discussions and articles I've read since then have never mentioned the eyes.

FTFY. Contact lenses would do even less to protect the eyes.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.
