Studies of donning/doffing risk are all from medical settings, and the risk is incorrect donning/doffing compared to correct donning/doffing. I mean, yes, if you are handling SARS/Ebola patients and you screw up doffing, yeah more risk. But that's not the claim here.

What is the scenario here? Do you touch your face more often with a mask? No evidence of that. What if you do? You're touching outside of mask. What if someone coughs on you? Well, yeah, outside of your mask is contaminated but OTHERWISE YOU BREATHE IT IN FOR SURE. No extra risk.
