I hate to be blunt but sometimes life is unpleasant, even more so now. Do you think that it's fair to demand people change their way of living because you don't want an unpleasant illness? I think it's unpleasant when people eat seafood (I don't like the smell) but I don't demand everybody stop eating seafood.

I think it's fair to demand that they change their way of living to prevent more deaths - 645,000 and counting just in the USA.
If we weren't living in a sea of unvaccinated people this conversation would be a lot easier.
Manners change over time. Maybe masks will join normal etiquette with other polite things, which benefits everyone around.
(such as: closing your mouth when coughing, washing hands after going to the toilet, wearing at least shorts)
