It's not odd at all. If everyone wears a mask, it's probably not as necessary. Unfortunately, we live in a country full of reeruns.
You can get infected through your eyes, nose and mouth.
Wearing a mask covers your mouth and nose. Hence why people have been saying this entire time that the masks protect others more than they protect you. A lot of the virus-carrying particles coming out of your mouth and nose get stopped by the mask (notice I didn't say "ALL").
It's obvious that if you want to more fully protect yourself, then you need to take care of your eyes somehow.
Hence, wearing goggles offers more protection from the anti-mask reeruns.
It doesn't take a high IQ to understand this, my man.
