The question anti-maskers worldwide have been asking themselves, because in their minds, Covid or not, they won’t die, as their Creator is the One who determines their number of days on earth, although corporate prayers from righteous men and women could prolong their stay a little bit longer.
“Why should I wear a mask?” and “Why should I be jabbed?” might outwardly appear to be selfish questions, but spiritually or philosophically speaking, they are nontrivial questions that politicians and religious leaders often try to shun away from.
When a head of state is against the use of masks in public in response to widespread violent protests in their land, so that the police could identify and arrest the rioters; or in case any public mask hoarding could deprive hospitals of them—either situation contradicts public health measures in a pandemic.
During the coronavirus crisis, the implicit “Thou needn’t wear a mask” message only raises panic in the population that there aren’t enough masks available for everyone.

You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. PenguinBooks,1992. p. 38)
