Wearing a mask offers some reduction in the risk of transmission and infection. it's not a hardship, it's not a reduction of civil liberties. it's a considerate gesture to those who still need as much protection as possible.
If they need protection or are in the vulnerable group then they should have had the vaccine by now.

There is absolutely no selfishness for not wearing a mask - anyone could pass on any other illness that existed long before covid, that can still potentially kill people and masks were not a requirement then.
