Stop the mask mandates

Stop the mask mandates
My goal is to stop the wearing of masks being mandatory. I feel that we, as human beings should, instead of being forced to wear a mask, be given the opportunity to make a choice that is most comfortable for you. (i.e: if you feel more comfortable wearing a mask then YOU wear a mask.)
I especially feel that we should be given a choice due to the fact that the rules regarding the mask mandate are arbitrary and non-sensical. The mask mandate has become more political, and instruments of power and control rather than actual safety concerns and logic. (Ex: The rules inside restaurants, where you have to walk in wearing a mask, but as soon as you sit down at a table you are allowed to take it off.)
At this point, when the rules bend like that the need for wearing a mask becomes obsolete and pointless. We have seen over the past two years that Covid cases have not been diminishing and have in fact spiked starting in 2022 despite the mask and vaccine mandates. Also, in recent months Covid has mutated despite our "efforts" to contain a virus. So why, if all of these factors are seemingly inevitable (which goes for all of viruses or diseases) are we still being forced to wear masks and receive a vaccine?
