Two Republican candidates in Colorado have taken legal action against orders for people in the state to wear masks in public spaces to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Donna Walter and Mark Milliman claim that neither Governor Jared Polis, nor the state’s health departments, had the authority to order people to wear the masks and claim that the order is unconstitutional.
The attorney who filed their lawsuit noted, “Healthy people do not spread SAR-CoV-2. Science doesn’t support the governor’s assertion that it does either … Transmission from healthy people is extremely rare at worst and does not justify forcing the healthy to wear masks that are ineffective, in any case. This is symbolic.”
As such, Puke’s–sorry, Polis’s “orders are compelled speech, which the Constitution’s First and Fourteenth Amendments protect against.”
Naturally, “Both county health departments named in the suit rejected the claims that masks, did not help with asymptomatic transmission.”
That’s because “public health” is a Marxist construct, one we must abolish if we ever hope to live free.
