Nanny state
Devils advocate - I’ve been travelling in Asia for years and they’ve been wearing face masks a long time, not to protect themselves but to protect others.
The face mask wearing due to a transmissible flu is not just to protect you but to protect vulnerable people, they can still get it from you even if you had the vaccine.

I’m not in favour of a nanny state but I wear a face mask because I do know people who have died from it, and been there to watch it. It doesn’t hurt anyone to take a wee bit of care and I feel the government got it wrong with the “forcing” not explaining. Put the way I have above I doubt there’d be huge objections to a mask in enclosed public places.
