Masks are a new hygiene standard. Do you think the enlightened gentlemen doctors of the age actually set a bar of how many women should die before they began to wash their hands?
They smeared, they waffled, and now they serve as the warning to all of the the terrible, prideful (and filthy) fools who robbed families of their wives, daughters, and mothers over something people today balk at the idea of not doing- washing their hands.
Tacit defense of non-consensual disease transfer costs the arguer nothing to make and hurts others. It's far simpler to enjoy the same benefits of covering your mouth and nose that medical providers have for decades: knowing they are protecting others, whether or not they understand, appreciate, or ask for it.

He was vaccinated, he wore a mask, he was careful. He did his part and hurt nobody.

Maybe he got it from a small child or someone fully vaccinated or someone who can't get the vaccine for medical reasons. Yes, fully vaccinated people can get the virus and transmit it.
Would you still trade his life for theirs in an instant ?
