It “makes no sense” to stop wearing face masks in enclosed public spaces, says the chairman of the British Medical Association, Dr Chaand Nagpaul.

He told Radio 4's today programme: “We know that face masks are proven to reduce spread of this infection if worn by everyone around you, including yourself.”

He says the BMA can’t understand why – at a time where there are “exceptional high levels of cases" – we would "knowingly want people to become infected”.

He asks why should people be exposed “against their will” to the virus when “it's so simple” for them to be protected “to a significant degree” by people wearing masks.
I suspect that most champions of ‘personal freedom’ really mean only "their own personal freedom" and aren’t prepared to ensure that vulnerable people maintain their "personal freedom", or worry/care about the impact of Long COVID or further variants.
