I’m starting this petition because in Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards has issued a mask mandate. He says its because of the spike in COVID 19 cases and that he used the facts and data to make this decision. I’m not going to go into all of politics and constitution and it being against our rights. What I am going to say is that how can one make any rational decision on so called facts and data when we all know the DATA is not facts. I get that some people feel mask will protect them from the virus but the FACTS are that mask do not protect against COVID 19. It even says that on the warning labels on SOME the packages. So why don’t the ones who believe the mask will protect them wear them and the ones that don’t believe it will protect not wear them? If everyone is practicing social distancing then this should work great along with good personal hygiene right?
There is a law in the state of Louisiana stating that no person shall use or wear in any public place of any character whatsoever, or in any open place in view thereof, a hood or mask, or anything in the nature of either, or any facial disguise of any kind or description, calculated to conceal or hide the identity of the person or to prevent him being readily recognized. Let’s look at this law. I’m sure the purpose of this law is to ensure the safety of the citizens. But how can the citizens feel safe when everyone is walking around masked? Essential workers are being put at risk even more now that everyone is masked. How can you verify identity of an alleged attacker if you can’t see anybody face?
Last, I would like to add that it as been proven that masking is not good for healthy people if being worn constantly. We have way more healthy people than sick. So, if you look at statistics when your making your decision, then why are the majority being put in harm’s way? We live in Louisiana. The highs are still averaging around 90°F along with humidity. It is a health hazard for healthy people. It is also proven that causing fear and anxiety in a person weakens their immune system and can put them at greater risk of catching COVID 19 along with many other viruses or sickness.
If you agree with allowing people to make their own decisions on whether they should wear a mask, then please sign this petition. When deciding please make your decisions off FACTS!!
