Why are some people so against wearing a facemask?
“Not wearing a mask shows a sign of solidarity, a stand against authority that is perceived as taking away essential freedoms, whereas wearing one can be viewed as an act of altruism to protect others”
“When it comes to everyday clothing, this notion is not surprising, but in the case of a mask which may make the difference between life and death, those on the other side of the fence might find the refusal to wear this protective layer rather perplexing or offensive.
“These are deep-seated psychological drivers and why the decision ‘to wear or not to wear’ face coverings has become such an emotive issue.”
