As COVID-19 cases increase, the Los Angeles County public health director is threatening - yes, that's the right word - another indoor mask mandate.
"As COVID cases and other viruses continue to rise, the Southland is inching closer to a mask mandate," the Los Angeles CBS affiliate reported Sunday.
Barbara Ferrer, the county director of public health, who is not a physician, not a nurse, not even a paper shuffler at a doctor's office, but a social welfarist, said last week that "Masking" is one of several "Commonsense mitigation strategies" that "Remains a very sensible approach." Don't mistake mask mandates as harmless cases of officials acting in an abundance of caution or just covering their backsides, as government always does.
There is no data, no reputable research that tells us mask mandates works.
Why? In the case of mask mandates they are profoundly unjust; they are decrees issued without legislative process, edicts handed down without factual basis to support them.
Simply put, "No evidence exists that generalized mask mandates are beneficial," writes Dr. Joel Zinberg, a professor at Icahn Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.
"Meantime, the public-health establishment continues to ignore that evidence. Public-health officials also remain almost completely blind to masks' profoundly adverse effects on human interaction and quality of life." How can there be a grand American experiment in freedom, a future for widespread human liberty if freedoms can be suspended at whim, wrecking the trajectory toward a non-coercive society and taking progress back to another time? Officials, elected and unelected, have to be reminded they work within limits.
