Freedom ends where you start imposing costs on others. The pro-mask & pro-jab people want to impose known & immediate costs (ignoring long term consequences) on others in order to avoid any risk of some possible imagined cost. There is no way to sanely police sick people being in public, or conducting themselves in a specific way in public, so you can't fucking do it.
Would I like for people to cover their mouths when they cough? Yeah I guess. I certainly don't want people coughing on me directly, but I don't think anyone should ever be forced to wear a mask & the real world data literally shows that it accomplishes nothing anyway.
Freedom of association means that you are free to remove yourself from social situations that make you uncomfortable at your own expense.
If we stick to principles then society keeps working, if we use "emergencies" to justify any arbitrary bullshit that makes people feel better then everything devolves into tyranny.
