what about deaf people who need to see faces? Or do we not care about those people. What about small children who need to see faces to properly develop? Or does that not matter. What about people who just think they are uncomfortable for whatever reason? Who are you to force others to wear a mask?

Who are you to pretend your personal idiosyncrasies and weird preferences were more important than society as a whole?

Weighing then against one another is a real and important thing to do Whataboutism is more like a redirection / distraction. "X is bad". "Yeah but what about Y that's even worse!" when they aren't even related
