My first sentence is good advice. I assume they are already following it.

But, they sound entitled. There is no reason that the general public has to make unusual accommodations for their condition. It’s up to them to restrict their activities and provide protective gear as their situation requires.

Like many others, I’m a cancer survivor too. I’m not expecting special treatment or sympathy.

I don't read the slightest sense of entitlement in their post*. All they said was they have rational reasons to wear a mask themself and those rational reasons make them not a kook when they choose to wear a mask.

Your reply would be more on-target if they'd asked everyone else to wear a mask around them because of their medical condition, but nowhere did they make nor imply that request.

I'm in Miami, I very very rarely see anyone wearing a mask except senior citizens. The way it should be because they are at higher risk of not only covid but flu etc.

got attacked as a

fool with no care whatshoever for the public health

The next 7 words in their post change the meaning of your selectively quoted material above. They’re objecting to people telling them to not wear a mask, not asking you to wear one.
