Upon boarding my flight I was approached by a Flight Attendant refusing to wear a mask. I inquired why and was informed COVID is fake and masks violate constitutional rights. I was afraid of confrontation to push back further; so I just asked Flight Attendant to stay away from me. It created an uncomfortable work situation where I had to decide between feeling safe; and wanting to maintain peace. For the rest of the trip not only was my health put at risk; but others were as well. From other cabin to each and every passenger on board; our health was more at risk then it needs to be due to non-compliance of a requirement.To avoid a lack of CRM and a situation where FAs might become hostile towards each other; as well as for everyone's health and safety; masks must be mandated unless strictly for medical reasons.
Flight Attendant reported that another Flight Attendant refused to wear a mask during boarding and throughout the flight. Reporter expressed concern that the health of passengers and other cabin crew were put at risk.
