USA TODAY ARTICLE ON MASK BANS
MaskTogetherAmerica Founder Julie Lam spoke with USA TODAY about the danger of mask ban legislation
Eduardo Cuevas interviewed MaskTogetherAmerica founder Julie Lam for this USA TODAY article about the mask bans popping up around the US. The article raises concerns about the serious implications of mask bans being initiated by leaders in states like NC, CA, NY, and IL – even from Democrats!
Julie is deeply concerned about infection control, health equity, and civil rights and realizes the risk that mask bans pose in all those areas. In the article, Julie tells Cuevas she doesn’t need anyone other than her doctor telling her how to protect her health and that it is nobody else’s business, especially not the police. It’s a free speech issue, a civil rights issue, and a public health issue!
As Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University states in the article, the last thing we want is to “inhibit one of the options that public health has to reduce the impact of pandemics in our population.”
