Are we supposed to feel sorry for people who get kicked off of airplanes for not wearing masks?

It's a rule. You break it. You can't fly. How is this a newsworthy event?

Update:

Green Puffin, I agree that you'd have to be crazy to fly right not. But, please don't hold your breath for a vaccine.  It's not going to happen, and if it does it's not going to change much. This is going to be more like a flu vaccine than a Measles vaccine in terms of effectiveness.

    A crowded confined indoor space like the cabin of an airplane is the very last place where somebody should be allowed to selfishly avoid wearing a mask. The airlines are totally justified  in protecting their passengers from anti-maskers.

    NO. It clearly demonstrates that the person refusing to wear a mask does not care about others and will likely be the person pushing everyone out of the way to get a parachute in an emergency.

    Until the Coronavirus has been effectively managed and contained.  Everyone who can should wear a mask and scientist should come up with an effective wearable device for those who presently can't.No Mask, No Fly.  Periodt.

    Why are they flying anyway, can't they wait a few more months until we have a working vaccine.  If these people don't want to wear a mask on Public Transport, they can always pay for their own private jet or boat.

    Not in the slightest - no mask, no excuses. We don't want some old asthmatic queer coughing all over us.

    I agree. Just wear the mask and get over it.

    The only case I have heard about which was a tough call was of an autistic child, who struggled to cope with wearing a mask and was freaked out by it, and ultimately he and his family got kicked off the flight. I did feel bad for the kid, and I'm not sure what the best solution is for that. 

    But otherwise, if you're a grown-up, wear it.

    It's only newsworthy because the media equates "anti-maskers" with Trump supporters. If they were associated with democrats, you'd never hear a word about it, except perhaps a paragraph on page 10 of the local news section.

    It isn't, this is the first I've heard of this in the news, who got kicked off the plane?
