A person is entitled to their own value system and beliefs only up to the point at which the person's actions affect the rest of society. If health Experts and scientists determine that we need to wear masks a certain amount of time to protect a deadly virus from mutating, and to prevent spread by asymptomatic carriers, then that’s what society has to do. To act otherwise, is self indulgent at best. In the face of a deadly pandemic, society’s needs come first, not a person’s individual whims.

“At times we feel outnumbered in our attempts to improve the world—to brighten and beautify, to preserve and heal and do what’s best for humanity. Selfless efforts can start to feel beleaguering, discouraging, even pointless with so little support. It is at these times I remind myself that I would rather be the last Good Samaritan standing than to join the ranks of selfish multitudes creating misery.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich
For every "expert" you can mention who is in favor of wearing mask, I can mention just as many who are not in favor of wearing mask. I completely agree with the OP.
