It isn’t a question of “forcing” people to wear masks. While I do not agree, there are always a small number of people in a free society who, on principle, have always lived their lives in a certain way and having core beliefs, either religious or not, is not something to be mocked.
BUT, judging by the large numbers of people who do not wear masks, most of these do not truly understand why they should wear one, or they believe they look stupid in them, or it is inconvenient. All kinds of excuses not to wear them. Or, it is because of the present contentious political climate ( not a lifelong matter of principle). There is almost no valid excuse for our elected officials to decline to wear them. Excepting those with long-standing contrarian principles.
