Sadly Aotearoa has fallen victim to that culture war too, and it encourages those whose job it is to promote vaccination to stay in their lane.
Most of us are too polite to say anything directly to the few who do wear respirators in public. Online is a bit of a mess, with vitriol from those who still feel aggrieved by our successful response very much appearing in comments sections. The people who don't want to mask in public just seem to be quiet and it's hard to tell the difference between those who think you are clearly medically anxious and those who know it's possibly a good idea but don't feel confident doing it. Some of them maybe feel a bit defensive.
And no matter how low key I am in words there is a pretty clear implication that I think people should wear a mask when that's what I am doing
