Governor of Oregon issues restrictive mandate concerning masks
The governor of Oregon has issued a controversial clause concerning the covid 19 shot. According to reports Governor Kate Brown recently relaxed the state’s requirement to wear a mask indoors. The lifting of this mandate however comes with a controversial exception. The governor has issued an ordinance requiring those without a mask to show proof of vaccination. The requirement extends to businesses and churches in the state. A resident or visitor to the state would be required to present their vaccination papers. If the business or church does not want to follow the mandate rules, then the mask becomes mandatory. Critics have called the ordinance unconstitutional and are calling for the Governor to rescind the ordinance. The governor’s ordinance is seen as drastic especially since doctors and scientists are finally admitting that masks do not work. This information was confirmed during the release of emails from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s email account. In the one of the emails from 2020 Fauci did admit wearing masks do not work and he admitted that those who contracted COVID-19 and recovered do have the antibodies needed to fight against the illness. Freedom Foundation has sent a formal letter threatening to file a lawsuit if Governor Brown does not change the law. Another law firm Liberty Counsel says the mandate is a big step towards the loss of freedom.
