1. They don't WANNA.

[ibegurpard]

2. Because they're selfish pricks

[ificandream]

3. Yeah, I don't get this either ...

It saves lives. Why are people so blatantly stupid and listening to right-wing jerks who themselves are vaxxed and probably wear masks in public.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

34. "Stupid is as stupid does".

Forrest Gump.

[Walleye]

4. It's not a mask that they hate. It's liberals, intellectuals, science, and education

The masks are just a handy symbol. And they’re much easier to see than a virus.

[Ocelot II]

5. Surgeons wear those things for hours and hours at a time.

I'd like to ask these nitwits whether they'd mind if a maskless surgeon operated on them.

[KS Toronado]

31. That would be an excellent question

for a anti-masker spouting off.

[IronLionZion]

35. They don't tell you how many doctors drop dead from lack of oxygen

Deep state covers up the real reason for the doctor shortage

[leftyladyfrommo]

6. I wascat Price Chopper this morning 1st thing and

everyone had masks on. I am not sure if we have a new mandate or not.

[Leghorn21]

7. Because they're so painful, and they just HURT SO BAD

[LuckyCharms]

39. .

[PoliticAverse]

8. The primary issue of the protest is the vaccine mandate, not a mask mandate. n/t

[Bev54]

27. Yes it is but they are all anti maskers as well.

[Mad_Machine76]

9. Yeah

I don't get. I'm not huge fan of them but I can certainly tolerate them. Don't get what all the drama is about

[LetMyPeopleVote]

10. K&R

11. Every excuse for not wearing a mask can be boiled down to this:

"I'm a selfish asshole, and I can't tolerate the slightest personal inconvenience even if it means that someone else will die."

[LastDemocratInSC]

13. I wouldn't want to be in a foxhole with anyone who thinks that way.

[dchill]

24. "And that's what Freedom means to me!"

[dlk]

12. Some people can't tolerate being inconvenienced

They are frustrated and angry about other areas of their lives, and focus their anger on being asked to wear a mask. They are emotionally stunted and couldn’t care less about public safety or the million Americans who’ve died from Covid.

[budkin]

14. It makes their fee-fees hurt

And also FREEDOM.

[Retrograde]

15. They can be mildly uncomfortable

I mostly use the ones I've made (fit well on my face with no gaps, most are 2 layers of tightly woven cotton, some have an additional non-woven layer as well), and they tend to hold in moisture - which is kinda what they're supposed to do, keep the exhaled droplets from spreading to others - and after a couple of hours they can feel unpleasantly damp. So I wash them after wearing. Since they have flexible nose-pieces they don't interfere with my glasses (too much). Even after 2 years, though, I occasionally forget them.

I'm looking into other styles, something that's better than the common blue masks. I've used older N-95 masks for handling dye powders (you don't want that in your lungs) and found them uncomfortable for long-term wear. There has to be (or should be) alternatives that provide the protection of N-95 masks that are easier to wear, easier to put on and take off, and adjustable to a wide range of head sizes and shapes - not to mention hair. Otherwise, people will continue to find reasons not to wear them.

18. I like the KF94 South Korean made masks with the adjustable earloops

I'll wear an N95 if I have to go into an especially high risk situation, but I feel very protected in a KF94. Being able to adjust the earloops (but not all KF94 brands have this feature, unfortunately) really gives me a good tight fit.

[Ocelot II]

19. Pants can also be mildly uncomfortable but everybody wears them.

If they didn't, the oppressive commie government would make them. "Mildly uncomfortable" is a very poor excuse for refusing to wear masks, and it isn't the point anyhow. It's all about the performance.

[Bev54]

28. KN95 masks come in all different styles, I find most of them are quite comfortable

Cloth masks do not work with Omicron.

[liberal_mama]

16. Most of these anti-mask freaks wear a thin soft cloth or flimsy surgical mask too

It's not like they're all trussed up in a tight fitting N95 mask like health care workers have been wearing for 12 hour shifts.

They are babies are who don't care about the lives of the immune compromised and medically vulnerable.

[spanone]

17. My grandkids are 5 and 8 and have zero problems wearing masks.

tfg weaponized them and his stupid ass followers fell right in line.

[bluestarone]

20. Thank God these people were NOT around during WW1 or WW2

They would have TURNED and RUN, and let their brothers DIE in the fields!

[Leith]

21. They claim that school children are traumatized by them

but having regular shooter drills is just fine.

[Bev54]

30. I have 5 grandchildren between 8 and 13 and none of them complain

about wearing masks. Children seem to adjust much better than many adults. Luckily in Canada they don't have active shooter drills but they do know about lockdowns as it has happened a couple of times when a local business is robbed, they immedicately lock down the schools in the area.

[TrogL]

22. Most of it's "you can't tell me what to do"

In other words, classic narcissism.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

23. Hammer meet nail.,

Its fucking narcissism. Ugh.

[dchill]

25. They believe COVID-19 is a Democrat.

[Rebl2]

26. They are whiny snowflakes

Compared to this Canadian women’s hockey team.

[Nululu]

29. Disgusting, pathetic lowlifes

[RobinA]

32. Well, Let's See

I can only speak for myself, but when I have a hot flash the sweat is inside them and sweat trickles down my face. They knock my glasses off kilter and I can't see out of the right part of the lens. They kill my ears after awhile. They make it hard to breathe. N95s - I have a very small face and they catch the thin skin under my eyes and it hurts. I can't wear my glasses at all with some of them. If I can manage to wear my glasses they fall off when I lean over. They make me cough when I have to talk for a long time, which I do for my job. YMMV.

I do wear one when I have to (no n95), but I take them off as soon as I can.

[IronLionZion]

33. Masks kill jobs and take away freedoms

and they are training burkas on the slippery slope to sharia law. Or if a person's face is covered, you don't know if they're a criminal or just a liberal.

Although if they don't wear a mask, you can rest assured they are probably a conservative and you would do well to steer clear of them for other reasons too.

[Emile]

36. One side decided to politicize a deadly pandemic instead of

being patriotic citizens and fighting it together.

[multigraincracker]

37. Perhaps they think the mask will draw your attention away from

their red hats.

[applegrove]

40. LOL!

[HUAJIAO]

38. It has nothing to do with masks.....or vaccines, for that matter.

It goes much deeper than that, or perhaps more shallow.

[LiberalLovinLug]

41. The Canadian Women chose to wear them because of a delayed Russian test result

No way they were going to risk having a COVID attack on the team in the last meaningless, round robin game.

Bring on the Americans!!!!!!!! Can't wait!
