The University of California is banning masks in the middle of one of the largest summer COVID surges of the pandemic. Unacceptable.
Here's the list of things banned from University of California.
It says "no person shall wear a mask with the intent of
intimidating any person or group, or for the purpose of evading identification."
Unclear if it includes wearing masks for COVID protection or health reasons.
Mask bans are bad even if only targeted to law breakers because they:
- Stigmatize masks and increase harassment of mask wearers
- Let police (who aren't doctors) subjectively decide who can wear a mask for health reasons
- Increase profiling
- Violate first amendment rights

- and help spread disease
- and completely screw us over for the next pandemic
Honestly, it's like there was a fire so now we can't have smoke alarms because their beeping is annoying.
Dr. Eric J. Fielding, PhD@freequaybuoy @luckytran The problem of selective enforcement and profiling is a big concern. People protesting against whatever the police don’t like will get their masks targeted.
Wandering Star@freequaybuoy @luckytran It's like if schools stopped evacuating for fire alarms because they were afraid kids might try to get out of classes by pulling the alarm.

While continuing to screw us over for this pandemic. It’s not as if we’re not in the middle of the biggest Covid surge since 2022.
