Why Do You Care If I Wear a Mask? Protecting My Loved Ones Is None of Your Business

In an era of disinformation and health rollbacks, masking is more personal — and necessary — than ever.

Why Do You Care If I Wear a Mask? Protecting My Loved Ones Is None of Your Business

As we step further into 2025, the debate over face masks, something that should’ve stayed a personal health decision, has somehow gotten louder, nastier, and way too political. The Kennedy Center’s decision to adjust its mask policy has sparked yet another round of heated opinions, but honestly, why does anyone care if someone chooses to wear a mask or not?

Let me make it personal. I wear a mask on flights, not because I’m sick or paranoid, but because my mother is battling cancer. Her immune system is fragile, and any simple virus could become deadly. So when I’m on a plane surrounded by hundreds of strangers breathing recycled air, I choose to wear that mask to protect her. It’s that simple.

But lately, simple decisions like these have become politicized battlegrounds. In the era of the new Trump administration, where health misinformation runs rampant and officials with zero medical experience are overseeing our nation’s health policies, staying informed and cautious is crucial. Add to that the fact that the U.S. has withdrawn from the World Health Organization and is actively suppressing vital health updates, and you’ll understand why some of us aren’t taking any chances.

Wearing a mask has never been about politics for me — and it shouldn’t be for anyone else either. It’s about protecting yourself and the people you love. It’s about preventing unnecessary suffering, especially when those around us may be medically vulnerable.

So the next time you see someone in a mask, remember: it’s not always about fear or control. Sometimes it’s about love, responsibility, and common sense. If protecting my mom makes me “overly cautious” in your eyes, that’s fine — because I’m the one who has to live with the consequences, not you.

Your comfort does not outweigh someone else’s health. Respect personal choices and stop making this a bigger issue than it needs to be.
