Face Masks

Mask usage "probably makes little or no difference to the outcome" regarding flu-like symptoms or lab-confirmed instances of flu or COVID-19.

The presiding judge of the Weimar District Court has been suspended for 2 years following a 2021 ruling that mask mandates were unconstitutional.

"So much transmission in our community because a majority of people are not vaccinated," she claimed in July 2021.

Currently serving as the president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), the second-largest teachers' union in the country, Weingarten was instrumental in shaping COVID policies in academic settings.

She told citizens to answer phone calls from government employees and answer questions regarding personal health information.

The White House has continued to force guests who are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to wear face masks and social distance, despite the federal government terminating the national emergency declaration for the pandemic.

Masks create a "dead space" trapping carbon dioxide, posing health risks.

"[T]he fact that the studies that do exist (including our own late addition) fail to show convincing evidence of benefit from masking suggests that, if there is a benefit, it is a rather modest one, i.e. masks may reduce the risk slightly but do not guarantee you won’t get infected," said Dr. Breathnach.

Authorities in New York City are calling for an end to the use of face masks inside delis after a bodega worker was killed by a masked assailant, leading to a reversal of the city's earlier COVID-era mask mandates.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) defended the city’s coronavirus vaccine mandate for city workers that is being rescinded.
