I began to wonder if the preventative is worse than the disease.
The preventative is not worse than the disease. An inconvenience, yes, but I'm pretty sure it's not worse than being sick for weeks or on a ventilator. And yes, I know that a lot of people have very mild symptoms, but those aren't the ones I'm concerned with.
When 99% of people are not able to wear a basic mask properly, we focus on some advanced details that simple don't matter when combined with our incompetence.
Agreed- a clear, information-based, nationwide mask mandate coming from competent leadership would make a huge difference. Unfortunately, we have Trump.
Small quibble, but injecting bleach and drinking god knows what is definitely worse than being on O2.
Most acute cases requiring hospitalization end up on O2 and don't end up on a ventilator. Several of my coworkers are confirmed cases, they all had pretty bad cases requiring some medical intervention (ER visit) and at home monitoring (pulse-ox). Two of my coworkers are still not 100% after 4 months of recovery. It's really nasty for some people, thankfully they survived it.

On what planet is getting zapped with 450 volts considered "friendly"?
Look, it's impossible not to touch your face.
Telling people to not touch their faces is perfectly useless advice, just like "don't contract cancer" or "don't get in a car accident".

Small quibble, but this was about masks: "Agreed- a clear, information-based, nationwide mask mandate..."

Ah, I see your mistake, it's the entirety of COVID-19 related hysteria that is the topic.
