Those who pointedly and knowingly refuse to pitch in and help humanity reduce the pandemic's death toll just don't matter anymore.
They don't care if the hospitals fill up until the rest of us cannot get the care we need if we are in an accident, or face some other medical issue unrelated to the pandemic that they help spread. They are inhumane, and they are inhuman--it's time the rest of us stop caring about them and what they want.

Human beings are not supposed to cover half of their face. We get all sorts of social cues and build personal connections through the facial expressions that masks make impossible. Cultures that cover faces (e.g., in more conservative Islamic countries) are fucked and not ones we should seek to emulate. Even in East Asia, people do NOT wear masks as a universal prophylaxis, but rather when they themselves are feeling ill. And Japanese culture is also distant and impersonal relative to Western culture.
People wearing masks significantly impairs normal human interactions and bonding. Not to mention it’s difficult to understand what someone is saying through a mask.
There are significant drawbacks to them, and like all of this is comes down to cost-benefit. Sure it’s better for things to be open with a mask mandate than closed, but we’re also not in pre-vaccine Covid now. The unvaccinated don’t deserve my wearing a mask to protect them, and people who are vaccinated don’t get sick enough to justify it either.

Their latest failed attempts to "discern social cues" and "make personal connections" don't matter. Their eternal inability to understand what people are saying doesn't matter. Their failures at bonding and experiencing "normal human interactions," which precedes and will outlast COVID, don't matter. Their rants against 'distant and impersonal' foreign cultures don't matter, given how they can't be bothered
in the slightest to save lives in their own culture. Fuck 'em.
Anti-mask and anti-vax lives don't matter.
