I’ve had people tell me this (the anti-science bigot part implied). I find just staring at them works really well. No retort, just a stare. They get really uncomfortable when they start processing what they just said in the face of somebody who doesn’t GAF.
I dropped a bomb on a moron a few weeks back when I wasn't wearing a mask in Lowe's. Most people don't give a shit, but there was one woman who just had to pipe up and get in my face. Eventually, she asked me the question that she thought would be the kill shot:
I have a lung condition and I'm at high risk. Do you want me to die?

Well, since you put it that way ....

Like, I get that some people have fears coming from real places but it’s nobody else’s responsibility to keep you safe.
