Thanks for adding the further context here. I'd like to add context to your point:

> If the pandemic has taught us nothing else, it's that many people are staggeringly selfish and are quite willing to let other people die rather than they being mildly inconvenienced.

I don't believe that "anti-maskers", who you are probably referring to, are significantly more selfish than "maskers." If you understand that most of them truly believe masks are not helpful, and even some believe they are harmful, then to them it's more than just "I'd rather kill people than be inconvenienced." They don't believe they are killing anyone.

I don’t believe them when they say that. Based on the way they keep ending at the same conclusions with different reasonings as facts change, I think they don’t like being told what to do, and keep backwards-rationalizing reasons (“I read somewhere that masks actually _hurt_ people!”) in order to have something to tell people.
