Yikes: California City Votes Whether To Mandate Masks And Vaccines

In a surprising turn of events, a city in California is opposing universal COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates.

During a meeting, Huntington Beach City Council Mayor Pro Tempore Gracey Van Der Mark presented a motion to ban these mandates, which was subsequently approved with a 4-3 vote.

A study from the Cochrane Library showed that medical and surgical masks have limited effectiveness in preventing influenza-like illness or COVID-19-like illness.

Without evidence, Dr. Anthony Fauci has attempted to claim there are potential advantages on an individual level to masks, but not on a population level. This is Fauci’s unscientific personal view, which contradicts the findings of the Cochrane study.

Fauci said, “When you look at it from a broad population level, as the Cochrane study did, the data appear less conclusive regarding their impact on the overall pandemic. However, our focus here is on an individual’s capacity to enhance their own safety, which presents a somewhat different perspective than the broader population level.”

In the motion in California, Van Der Mark argued that COVID-19 mandates had unnecessarily restricted the freedoms of Huntington Beach citizens, even those who had not been exposed to the virus or anyone who had tested positive.

The motion also highlighted concerns about the potential resurgence of COVID-19 and the emergence of new variants. It mentioned discussions regarding broad mask-wearing mandates and vaccination booster shots.

The motion emphasized the need for the City Council to take a stand against government actions that impose on individual liberties and implement response measures that have shown limited or no effectiveness.

While mask mandates are being reintroduced in some schools due to rising COVID-19 cases, others are facing closures. For instance, the Runge Independent School District in Texas had to shut down in August after ten staff members contracted COVID-19.

Additionally, the University of Michigan has requested students who test positive for COVID-19 to quarantine in a hotel room for five days. (Poll: Do You Trust the Biden Family? VOTE)

A spokesperson for the City of Huntington Beach stated that the City Council’s decision to oppose broad government mask and vaccine mandates is intended to protect individual liberties and challenge measures that have been deemed medically ineffective.

The mandate ban does not apply to individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19.

President Joe Biden recently resumed wearing masks indoors despite being quadruple vaccinated.

The country has recently seen an increase in cases related to a “new variant.” First Lady Jill Biden has also tested positive for the virus.

Key Takeaways:

• The Huntington Beach City Council in California has approved a motion to ban universal COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates.

• The decision was made based on scientific studies that suggest masks do not effectively reduce the spread of respiratory illnesses like COVID-19.

• The City Council aims to challenge measures that have been deemed medically ineffective and protect individual liberties.
