"1.The masks hinder breathing. Has to happen because the nose and the mouth were designed for free breathing."

This has an actual noticeable effect on a tiny minority of mask-wearers. Most people have no problem.

"2.The masks don’t block viruses. The viruses are too small to be filtered by the fabric itself. When you inhale and exhale, the air cannot flow through the fabric, so it has to travel through the sides of the mask, where, if you are exhaling, it pollutes the air in the room or, if you are inhaling, pollutes your lungs.

There is NEVER a bare virus particle "in the wild". EVERY virus particle is either in an aqueous microdrop or (if it dries by evaporation) has a coating of salt crystals and other bio-solids. Masks filter these quite nicely.

Masks "do" work.

You just made that up. If you really believe what you are saying, put on one of the commonly used masks and stand near somebody with Ebola, plague, or any other airborne virus.
