This is, IMO, largely the continuing issue with masks- a misguided understanding of what the PURPOSE of the mask actually is. All of the 'you can't live in fear/it's a personal choice' stuff on social media is driven by the incorrect belief that the mask is to protect YOURSELF. It's not, unless you have an N95. Wearing the mask is to reduce the chance of you transmitting it to OTHERS. A lot of people either don't understand it, or don't care to understand it due to how absurdly politicized the issue has become. Helmet laws are the exact opposite- they're there to protect you. I guess if you personally choose to put yourself at risk by not wearing a helmet, ok then. But equating the two is an illustration of a lack of understanding. If you 'make a personal choice' not to wear a mask, you're consciously choosing to endanger others out of personal selfishness.
