Definitely felt the effects of hypoxia when mask wearing and doing any activity beyond walking. When the gym I use reopened, they required masks. I tried my routine with a mask and nearly passed out from hypoxia. I had to limit my activity (nothing aerobic) at the gym. Which is why I was running with the dog...and how I broke my foot...and needed surgery ... which required being vaccinated...but that's another story!
The lies are frequent an deep. CDC claimed mask wearing does NOT impede breathing when exercising. The mystery is not why they lied (answer: politics), but why anyone would believe it. It's pretty obvious you're inhaling much of what you just exhaled. sucking back in the CO2 you just expelled reduces the O2 you are getting - doh! And folks were using heavy cloth masks! Suck through one and really, you don't notice you get much less air? Maybe the hypoxia set in even before they put on the mask :-).
As to Fauci, yes he lied. Repeatedly. But don't forget that initially he told us not to wear masks. He then reversed. Perhaps more than once.
