Facemask Mandate

[Pete]

You do not have the right to disobey public health regulations so long as they are lawfully passed. In Jacobson v. Massachusetts, the Supreme Court holding shows that the states and their political subdivisions have police powers, among them is the regulation of public health. In that particular case, the Court upheld mandatory vaccinations with zero exceptions. In that case, the person complaining about their made up rights was a pastor who had a bad reaction to a vaccine in his childhood and was afraid what would happen should he be vaccinated again.

The post you quoted and are responding to was dripping with sarcasm.

Here's a small sampling of peer-reviewed studies showing masks work:

Masks aren't a panacea, but they definitely do work.

The No-Nothing's lawyer made the only argument he could. He basically just took his client's money and filed a definite loser of a case. I believe only once or twice I've ever seen a law overturned for failing the rational basis test--which is the test prescribed in Jacobson, i.e., that the law must be rationally related to some legitimate government goal.

Hello?

Public health? CDC recommendations? Untie Norman epic fail as per usual.

Don't get why people are more upset about required mask wear than the government shutting down or restricting businesses. The government doing that is worse on freedom and the economy than masks.

I think it's been pretty clearly stated shutting down business isn't going to happen again. Shutting down the government is unrealistic and simply won't happen.

It’s happening in California again. LA is undergoing another stay at home order for 2 or 3 weeks.
