The author states repeatedly that 'media' is trying to control 'us', but not what this media has to gain by mask wearing.

The more likely goal is to continue spending money (or eyeball time / clicks ) on media.

Yes, for profit media screams stupid headlines... For profit. business insider' as important media? Really?

There is no reason to reasonably and rationally discuss an issue raised by an article which takes this position... And does not discuss timing of vaccines, Delta variant, population skew, or the goal of preventing hospital overload.

I love the graph where the author says 'sure, maybe fewer people died, but...' . Classic.
