An individual who does not believe in the effectiveness of masks to slow the spread of disease. They say that mask wearing is an act of fear and draw their bows so long, they equate the mandate of mask-wearing as psychological control by the man. Paradoxically some anti-maskers will show a particular reverence for the hallowed N-95 mask as these masks have both an “N” and a “95” and are made by 3M. These “masks” are often classified as respirators so some anti-maskers consider them acceptable especially if they have that hard plastic thingy on them.
“Why are you wearing a mask? A face mask won’t prevent you from getting covid-19.”
“That’s not how they work.”
“They are too porous and the virus can come through.”
“That’s not how masks work.”
“And the virus can just come in through your eyes, so you need to be wearing goggles too.”
“That’s not the point.”
“Plus the the virus can come in through the sides, but N-95s totally work, they’re made by 3M, and they’re green, and they have the hard plastic thing that makes them a respirator, not a mask.”
“I can’t believe I’m related to an anti-masker.”

A snowflake who is scared of a thin layer of fabric resting on their face taking away their freedoms. These people have no problem putting others and themselves at risk of catching covid-19 because of their own idiotic beliefs.
“Sir please put on a mask your in a public facility”
“Darn liberals always trying to take us anti-maskers rights away! You’re mad I love my country and i’m a proud american patriot🇺🇸!”
“Uhm sir- Imma have to ask you to leave”

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.
