Is the person making that statement also claiming a moral superiority over persons who choose not to wear masks and not benefit others?

I think that they are only expressing their person choice. It's up to others to decide whether they believe that is superior morally.

It's quite possible that people that choose not to wear a mask feel that they are highly unlikely to spread the virus. That doesn't make them less moral, it only says that they have a different opinion.

By the way I heard on television that in fact if you have been vaccinated that you are indeed highly unlikely to spread the virus. Experts, including Dr Fauci have been saying for a long time that it is almost impossible to spread the virus outdoors. If people feel that they should wear a mask outdoors that's their right. I personally don't think that it makes them morally superior. I do think that it makes them uninformed but that is only my opinion.
