All anti-mask laws—even those with so called “medical exceptions”—stigmatize mask-wearing.
Fewer people wearing masks increases the spread of infectious diseases.
No matter how lawmakers try to spin it, any law that criminalizes wearing a mask endangers public health. Period.

Isn’t the strict regimentation of society and the economy a tenant of fascism?
Like seatbelt laws. It’s to keep your dumbass alive.
Wouldn’t both be fascist, if that’s now meets the new definition of fascism?
Wouldn’t safety belt and helmet laws also be fascist, if we’re applying the same logic?
Maybe none are fascist?
That is literally killing people.
helmet = mask for this. 😘
I’m making the argument that neither requiring people to wear masks or to ban them from wearing masks meets the definition of being a fascist.
It’s just that people throw out the charge whenever they don’t like a policy.
Fascism has an actual definition.
What I often wonder is how many anti maskers would be upset if their surgeon performed surgery on them with no mask ….just breathing freely into their open wound & even coughing into it.
I suspect they’d run crying to a lawyer & try to sue. 🙄
Quick someone make Kn95's part of their religious practice. Hey Pope, sanctify the mask.
Well, you can't tell me that I can't wear a mask!!!

We have lunatics like yours here, too but so far - we haven’t collectively drank the kool-aid. That said, there’s a very weak contingency of people here who believe up is down and 2 + 2 =5. We’re not far behind.
This is inverse nannystate nonsense.
Just Say No to fashion police.
In whose interest is it for masks to be banned ?
are suddenly hiding behind them while abducting people off the street.
Take them off. You can't be that proud of what you're doing if you refuse to show your face
They want to take away my ability to wear one, which means no dr apts for me. No leaving the house. Then my SSI will be taken away. I will die.
And banning the mass surveillance isn't going to happen so they are going after masks.
Turns out masks are good for reducing exposure to both viruses *and* allergens.
Fortunately, it is against the constitution.
It’s insanity.
We have the right to wear masks when we choose.
I wish there was a way to protect us from the stupidity that’s rampantly spreading.
There's no due process under this administration. Innocent constituents and US citizens will pay the price for their. betrayal.
Banning masks leads to more sick people, which creates more profit for health care companies.
One CEO down, many more to go.
I will continue to wear a mask in the grocery store and in public in general, on a plane and any public transit.
I’m not going to get a medical exemption.
I’ve never heard of a law where a person cannot take care of their health
Fuck that shit. 💩
I'm done worrying about others
COVID 1.0 drained my empathy bank
Go ahead and croak, I'm done
And when RFK Jr. sees how the viruses have been denied any hosts to infect because we wore masks through this, will RFK Jr. show his angry-evil self to try and directly kill non-Trumper Americans?
But- What if Trump STOPS ELECTIONS?
PLEASE, PLEASE find a plan for That Scenario- or WE WILL have Guns in the Streets and it WON'T BE PRETTY!
Masking keeps me safe when I do go out which is rare ( still mostly in lockdown). Thanks for posting abt this 💙😷💙
I would tell them if they really believed that then if they have any kind of surgery
They need to tell the doctors and nurses not to wear masks because you don't believe in them
Or pull it down to cough or sneeze and not use a tissue 🤪
2020: No one is saying you can't wear a mask, but no one should be able to force me to wear one.
2021-now: No one should be wearing masks, but maybe we'll allow it if you jump through these hoops to prove to us that you need a mask to protect your health.
RFK Jr who is not giving us flu or Covid vaccines. I am not giving him the op to kill me
This law is clearly a way to empower fascism by turning vulnerable citizens into criminals for trying to protect their health and privacy.
This is in response to pro-Palestine and BLM protests.
We're going to have to forcibly remove this regime or its going to kill innocent people.
@governor.ny.gov wants to ban masks because she believes no one will demonstrate against genocide of occupied Palestinians then.

But believe it or not Adams first suggested mask ban in March 2023, months before the Gaza protests, because they just fucking hate disabled people that much

1) tear gas/disperse non-violent protestors
2)dox non-violent protestors
3) identify immigrants and pick them up
Sounds like bs to me
This is madness and anti-science.
This will have deadly unintended consequences.
Until the scamdemic Drs themselves didn't wear masks apart from in theatre & that was only to prevent them from splash back of liquids including blood.
go to fucking russia u commie maggots
WTF science?! Always screwing up beliefs…
Is that what you heard?
As a medical professional, is it your recommendation to pour bleach into the wounds of patients?
Maybe in their minds, masks only exist to hide your face from the public because you plan on doing something nefarious
😑
Don't ever forget : the point is cruelty. Always
C’est encore une nouveauté du débile d’outre atlantique ?
People undergoing Chemo, who have HIV, etc. are put at a higher risk of contracting a disease that could land them in the hospital or kill them.
These people deserve to have protections afforded to them to stay healthy.
Protesters cannot wear masks according to the law to conceal their identity.
If there is a public health emergency, N95 masks may be worn in public places; although no necessarily on private property.
I think we should be allowed to wear what we want, but that’s the justification I’ve heard for it
I hate them so much.
Otherwise, we should always promote mask-friendly environments. No one should feel stigmatized for protecting themselves or family members.
The second part- "mask-friendly" as a misnomer is the most illogical, maybe willfully cruel, output of public health authorities when they gave up on pandemic measures.
“Mask friendly” means there’s a sign on the building and any written material states that as policy.
With vaccines there shouldn't even be religious exemptions. If one's religion makes them a danger to everyone around them they shouldn't be allowed to be around anyone.
Stigma isn't my issue. Living is.
