I will agree he is mentally ill. I will disagree that he is trying to justify his action by making up something. There is no indication of that in the story. I take it at face value, he believes he was doing the right thing. That doesn't make him sane, that doesn't justify it. It is just the simplest explanation.
Words matter, and there are a lot of inflammatory words flying around everywhere over COVID and masks and vaccinations. When that happens on anything fringe elements and mentally ill act on those inflammatory words, often resulting in unfortunate results.
It is why it is not a good thing when a popular person be they a movie star, a politician, or a blogger uses hate and misinformation to incite people - sometimes they succeed.
