my crazy theory is, people working in medical environments wear masks the most these days, all day, and are often on their feet, so they have it toughest with the least amount of blood oxygen when they need it most. So that explains why so many doctors are so stupid now and going along with this. Of course not all.

And a good amount of them don't really read studies don't read the summary excerpt of it even though the title / summary might potentially even be misleading in comparison to actually reading the full report. Plus the people that they work for basically say do what we say or you'll never be able to practice medicine again and we will destroy your entire life

Great links. Good reference materials.
But remember that masks aren't about a disease, they're about compliance, and the in group.
