Just had two older men purposely cough on me and their lady friend who was with them laughed. All because I'm masked. But yeah, no one gets mistreated for masking. Don't worry, I made sure to alert people near me that they these men were wankers.

No, people didn't lockdown and mask in 2020 and 2021 to protect the vulnerable, they did it to protect themselves. They were scared shitless that they were going to die. Soon as the government told them, only the "vulnerable" would acutely die of COVID, they decided it was over.

I think a lot of anti-mask sentiment is to do with morals. If the pandemic is still on, then they’ve killed people. Every time they went out maskless while COVID positive, they literally caused people’s deaths. They don’t want to admit it. It triggers them to see masks.
