North Dakota House Passes New Bill to Ban Mandatory Mask Wearing

The North Dakota House of Representatives passed Bill 1323 on Monday (22), which would ban state and local officials, schools and businesses from forcing people to wear masks.

According to the Grand Forks Herald, North Dakota’s leading local daily newspaper, the bill was introduced by North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum three months after a statewide mask order was implemented. The bill passed the state House of Representatives on Monday by a 50-44 vote and will next go to the state Senate for a vote.

The bill is sponsored by state Rep. Jeff Hoverson (R-Okla.), who called the muzzling order “an act of evil folly” and characterized it as a “conspiracy by unelected, wealthy bureaucrats to plunder our freedoms and perpetuate the lie. conspiracy.

Several Republicans who support the new North Dakota bill say they don’t think wearing masks will help slow the spread of the Chinese Communist virus.

Compared to other European countries, Swedes have lived relatively free and normal lives during the outbreak. Anders Tegnell, Sweden‘s chief epidemiologist, also has insightful comments about the usefulness of masks.

According to The Australian Financial Review on July 30 last year, Dr. Tegnell advocates a “light lockdown”. He told reporters that the number of cases in Sweden is decreasing so quickly that “we don’t see any point in wearing masks in Sweden, even on public transport.

Sweden is not alone, and the Dutch government has also said that masks will not be mandatory because their use may relax the requirement for social distance and may increase the risk of transmission if they are not worn correctly.

Henning Bundgaard, chief physician at Rigshospitalet Hospital in Denmark, told reporters that some evidence suggests that the only effective facial covering may be a full face mask, as the virus can be transmitted through all mucous membranes, including the eyes.

The World health Organization recommends that people use masks, even though it also acknowledges that requiring healthy people to use masks widely in community settings is not yet supported by high-value or direct scientific evidence.

Anthony Fauci, a top U.S. infectious disease expert, also changed his attitude of not advising people to wear masks at the beginning of the Epidemic, saying that wearing masks is the key to overcoming the CCP virus pandemic, and even suggested that people should wear masks all the Time until 2022.
