Yep. I agree. If one is not wearing a mask, they are a selfish asshole.
Back in 18 when I took my first trip to Australia long before this pandemic, I noticed lots of people wearing masks even though back then it wasn't a mandate. I didn't get it back then, but looking back, I get it now. Humans worldwide have a wide variety of immunities, or lack thereof, and even conditions that can put them at higher risk, even for common illnesses. Covid is a "novel" virus, which means currently the world does not have a vaccine for. That makes it especially dangerous.
These mask haters don't understand it isn't about their own risk taking, it is also about preventing spread to others, including spread to their own family and friends.
