Anti-masker
Anti-maskers are the new anti-vaxxers. They are a new, more resilient breed of stupid that comes in swarms.
Anti-maskers are atypical in that they hold the deluded belief that wearing masks during a global pandemic are somehow an infringement on their "individual freedoms".
This is like saying there is a school shooter on the loose, and everybody in the school is forced to remain silent and hidden, but one student does not remain silent for the sole reason that it is infringing on their freedom of speech. It doesn't take a wise guy to see the ridiculousness in this way of thinking.
As with anti-vaxxers, flat-earthers, scientologists, climate change naysayers, etc etc, anti-maskers often resort to twisted logic, cherry picking, confirmation bias, belief perseverance, egocentric bias, and any other bias/fallacy to curb their cognitive dissonance and defend their faulty reasoning.
They do not get that mask wearing isn't just about protecting oneself, but about protecting others. Therefore in order to flatten the curve, everybody must cooperate.
Hopefully natural selection will get the best of them.

News on City TV: Hundreds of protesters gathered downtown for most of the afternoon on Saturday, calling for an end to the COVID-19 lockdown measures. The group of anti-maskers were carrying signs and shouting slogans, and caused traffic slow downs. Calling themselves ‘freedom fighters’, they say they are defending their constitutional rights and freedoms.
