🧵Want proof that @lapublichealth planned mask mandate for Los Angeles County is unjustified? Last July Ferrer tried to mandate masks when we were in “high” transmission. We fought back & said NO. She backed off. What happened? Did millions die? NO - without masks, it went away

What happened last July, where we saw how COVID cases NATURALLY plummet after a peak, is SCIENTIFIC proof that mask mandates aren’t needed. Had Ferrer masked us, she would have taken credit, claiming that it’s proof that her useless mandate worked! But instead, we know it doesn’t

So how we have evidence how, in LA County, COVID cases plummet after a surge/spike, WHETHER OR NOT mask mandates exists. This, more than anything else, proves that these mandates are FUTILE and, in fact, harmful, particularly to healthy kids who have 0 statistical risk of death.

For those Covidians who will say “Oh but we had a lot of long COVID because we didn’t mask” I say this: SHOW THE PROOF. Without solid proof, that’s just a hypothesis or a wish, nothing else. But from the overwhelming evidence we have IN OUR OWN POPULATION, mask mandates fail.
