Mask wearers are more likely to make poor decisions.
Such as voting Democrat.

They don’t call it ‘Poker Face’ for nothing.
You don’t even have to be playing Poker.
Any boardgame which is directly effected by silent signals and seemingly random movements of the hands, the face, the body position. All these things can be read and interpreted by your opponent. A good board game player knows how to deliberately send on the ‘wrong’ signal, as bait for the other player to react to.

A lack of oxygen affects the brain. That’s a no-brainer!

I thought wearing a mask is prima facia evidence you can’t make rational decisions.

The World Poker Tour commentators were suggesting that some poker players may continue to wear masks until they are forbidden. Poker players like to hide their faces.
Being a tournament chess player, I can affirm that there is an aspect of this for chess. A chess player does “read” the opponent by noting facial contortions. I am surprised that that was not suggested by the article.

Lack of oxygen
Chess players burn through an amazing amount of calories during tournaments (without moving!) and their brains need oxygen. You can read more about the grandmaster diet here:

Poor decisions as in taking the size of the virus and the size N95 is rated at and not seeing N95 is rated for particles 3x the size of the virus. Sure a normal galv wire fence can stop tennis balls dropped on it as a mask but it is a sieve to ping pong balls. Sure the droplets are stopped being ice bergs in comparison, but the droplets dry out rapidly.
Never mind the cloth masks which is like dropping any of these between peaks in the Rockies.
Ignorant is one thing and dumb is another but the combination is what is leading us into this idiocracy.
Many a Freeper was a covidiot masker and ran out and got the IQ test clot shots to boot.
Covid has become an evolutionary moment for humanity with the sheep culling themselves and their offspring both born and unborn.
Like the lemmings they are

If someone else makes the decision and uses money, a job, or other coercion, that does not reflect on YOUR rationality.

If I were picking an opponent in a contest of wits, the guy with the mask ... that’s the guy! He blatantly is telling the world, “I’m an idiot.”
Plus, reduced oxygen to the brain. Even better!

And another thing. The kids who were allowed to attend school but had to wear masks, did anyone consider the negative impact masks can have on kids with hearing impairents or speech impediments? As if they don’t have enough problems with comprehension and communication skills? Sounds like some ADA violations here.

Went to the pharmacy yesterday, here in wintry Central Europe. (The wife's got the Coof - finally! - two years after I had it. She's coughing and sneezy, and has kicked me out of the marital bed, but I'm trying to sneak back in.)
Sign on the door read, "We implore you to wear a mask when entering this pharmacy," so I ran back home, donned a mask, and returned.
Have noticed that a mask also reduces one's field of vision. With a woolen cap pulled down to my eyebrows, and a mask obstructing the lower part of my field of vision, it's a real nuisance!
The mask also redirects one's breath, so one's glasses have a pronounced tendency to fog up.
