Yeah, there is a weird grouping of rabid anti-maskers here. Seems odd given the nominal audience of this site.

I just don't get the rejection of basic facts.

The audience of the site is very entrepreneurial and as such is libertarian leaning by and large.

Which is to say you shouldn't be terribly surprised that there is a general strain of "don't tread on me" in the discourse. Simply being told what to do is enough to elicit a strong negative response.
