Antimasker

On one side of the argument was a woman named Claire Newbourne, an anti-masker, a member of a group opposed to the government regulations on Marburg.

Every time a citizen disobeys mask rules by not wearing one, or wearing it incorrectly, they endanger essential workers who have already risked their lives to service them in restaurant, store, and many other public settings. In an odd way, anti-maskers see this as being patriotic.

Beightol, who is the administrator for several Facebook pages where public schools teachers can vent, said educators fall into three categories: vocal pro-maskers, vocal anti-maskers and pro-maskers who stay out of the line of fire.

The antimaskers are not at all concerned in the action; they are led into fill up the intervals with a grotesque kind of merriment, or, their grotesque dances, and then sink into nothing.

Then came groups of antimaskers giving a mirthful variety to the scene of splendor — a company of beggars riding on lean jades, another of birds, but, most popular of all with the civic Puritans who lined the streets, a mask satirizing those projectors who begged the illegal and unpopular patents of monopoly from the King.
