Because all of these anti-science folks have the ability to infect those of us who do wear our masks and DO care about others in our community. They think it's OK if our essential workers like grocery clerks and health care workers become infected because they were exposed to someone that was not wearing a mask. They are uninformed and do not want to become informed.

This has been going on how long, now? But whenever someone says "everyone should wear a mask" there's STILL always some clown who pipes up with, "I have to research a way to keep my glasses from fogging up" (like they're incapable of doing a simple Google or YouTube search) or "but my skin is so gossamer sensitive I just caaaaan't."

There are people with legitimate issues that keep them from wearing a mask--and then there are the trolls who play stupid just to stir shit.
