While there are some right wingers who are secretly vaccinated or imposing mandates on employees, you do have some true believers who take it as a loyalty test to act as irresponsibly and dangerously as they can. It is almost like performative risk taking where you not only refuse to be vaccinated or wear a mask, but you also make no attempt to socially distance, because you claim that the pandemic is a hoax.

Nasal masks are most commonly used for long-term ventilation but can also be used for acute hypoxic or hypercapnic respiratory failure. The two most common varieties are nasal masks, which cover the nose, and nasal pillows, which support tubing that inserts externally into the nares.
Both types allow for eating and drinking, patients can better tolerate coughing, and there are fewer complaints of claustrophobia with this interface."
