I'd very much prefer not to have to wear PPE either, nor to have to have my own PCR machine to determine whether SARS2 is present, nor a helmet and faceshield to block surveillance cameras, and clubs, but no one is listening to me, so I expect government to seek to force vaccinations, require travel passes, to set up roadblocks/checkpoints, try to tag me like a cow, and keep me from working for a living.

Since I won't allow any of those things to happen, I'd better be prepared to weather the storm refusing to be enslaved will bring. That will necessarily include a helmet, and the various protective gear that goes with it.
