God has helped you... because you’ve chosen to listen to Him as He led you to follow the truth and not fall for the lies. He led you to the truth about the virus, about mask-wearing and about much else in the world.
The poor soul pointing at his mask might just as well have been saying “I’ve been programmed to reject reality and am proudly accepting the abuse the DS has been doling out on this matter. Furthermore, I’ve been brainwashed into thinking that I’m being virtuous and that I’m superior to others who do not conform.”
If that poor soul is not in the 6% or so that is too far gone, when the lies are exposed for all to see, perhaps he’ll remember the brief encounter with you and will think twice about being an idiot.
I wanted to come here and say something wise and pithy, but u/thinq has you covered already.
OP, know that you as you exist, maskless, represent a threat to this man's frail understanding of reality. Pray for him and his sickness. God gave you an opportunity to exercise compassion. Do so, and feel your agitation float off in the wind.
I smile broadly. Sometimes I whistle a happy tune instead. When afforded the opportunity, I stop and smell roses and other flowers more often than before.
I sense your frustration. Hope venting it here helped you get it off your chest a bit. God stands beside you, and doesn't want you feeling these stresses. We, his children, shouldn't want each other to suffer either. Something to remember when times are tough.
You respond by coughing very hard as you walk by and see if they run to save themselves or confront you because they don't actually fear the virus. Either way, you win.
I've not had this happen to me yet but I think of what I will say. A part in me wants to say they are in my prayers, and another part in me wants to say what you wanted to say.
Good for you not pounding the snot out of him. You could tap your temple as in "I'm not an idiot".

Amen, friend.
God is making us all better people as we walk through the fire with Him.
Tell them you are not afraid of Covid, because you heard if you have Tuberculosis you can’t get Covid.
genuinely made me laugh, thanks :)
Lol, #metoo. ?
just smile and tap your head, he'll get the message.

Ashli Babbitt styled blood pack comes in handy for selling this routine.
You probably did the right thing, so take solace in that.
If you're like me, and anger gets the better of you, have a few canned responses ready for situations like these.
For example: "Where's your mask?" Is met with "I left it on your mom's nightstand."
Old guy tapping his mask is met with you tapping your mouth with your middle finger.
"You're killing grandma" is met with "good! That way we can decrease the surplus population" or, "I don't give a shit about your grandma."
"Put on a mask" is met with a simple "suck my dick" or "kiss my delicious ass."
Mockery is always a good route in lieu of a canned response. Expect escalation, so use discretion.
I just laugh as if to a private joke they aren't, nor ever will be, privy to.
Infuriates them no-end.
I like that you're planning ahead, but those responses are just antagonistic and bound to cause division, much less get you into trouble.
I've had my share of encounters being maskless myself, and I'm not proud of how all of them turned out, so I'm not judging.
I do think, when I doubt, u/jonathane 's suggestion of laughter can't go wrong.
And I will say, the more you're forced into confrontations, the easier it gets. So everyone hang in there and keep your heads up, but straight.
It is better to just laugh at their idiocy. Imagine being in that guy's head and what stupidity abounds. He probably has a reptilian soul as well.
"Why don't you come over here and make me, punk"
Next time motion for him to suck your dick.
You should've stared at his wife and tapped on your dick.
A hostile reply only fortifies their (false) beliefs.

NIH study shows pores in masks are 1000x bigger than the virus and masks are useless in capturing Covid.

You could say you don't need a mask because you have covid. Result could be they run away. Or they attack you. So maybe not...
next time Fake Sneeze in his direction, probably scream like a little girl
You should have just asked him if he was being kidnapped, and that was a special help me signal.
Anytime anyone does that shit I just ask them something stupid or thank them for the concern,
I've not had this happen to me yet but I think of what I will say. A part in me wants to say they are in my prayers, and another part in me wants to say what you wanted to say.
I feel this. I don’t fear the world programmers as much as I do these lost sheeple blinded from the truth.
Maybe don't hang out there then
