s Los Angeles County continues barreling toward another indoor mask mandate, one city in the jurisdiction has voted unanimously not to enforce another edict from now-embattled county public health officials if a mandate is issued: Beverly Hills.
According to a release from the City of Beverly Hills, "[a] potential new health order by LA County that could require indoor masking will not be enforced by City of Beverly Hills staff" after the city council issued a unanimous directive on Monday night after Mayor Lili Bosse instructed them to take up the matter.
As the city explains, they would be "included in any new health order issued, but may or may not choose to utilize staff resources to enforce it." And they've chosen not to.
"I feel it is our job to lead and I support the power of choice," said Mayor Bosse. "Our job is to be proactive and public about what we believe. This is a united City Council and community that cares about health. We are not where we were in 2020, and now we need to move forward as a community and be part of the solution," she explained.
Los Angeles County has, for two weeks in a row, seen COVID cases rise to the point of being ranked "high" by the CDC, meaning an indoor mask mandate could be revived on Thursday and take effect on Friday unless data shows a decrease in cases and hospitalizations. In Beverly Hills, though, "LACDPH would responsible for enforcement of any new order" as the city won't use resources to do so themselves.
In addition to the City of Beverly Hills, Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger released a statement opposing a return to mandated universal indoor masking on Monday according to CBS Los Angeles:
"I have not seen any empirical data that conclusively shows that masking mandates make a difference in decreasing or stopping COVID-19 transmission rates," Barger wrote. "An analysis of Alameda County's June 2022 masking mandate, in fact, concluded it had no significant impact in comparison to its surrounding counties that did not impose a masking mandate. Alameda County dropped this mandate after only three weeks."
Not really a rebellion so much...
They aren’t actually ever stating the truth, that MASKS NEVER DID ANYTHING!!!...
they are playing word games saying “we aren’t where we were”...
There was NEVER ANY SCIENCE SUPPORTING MASKING!!! NONE!! EVER.
It’s all words all the time with these people. They would need to improve a lot to be simply “dishonest.”
“I have not seen any empirical data that conclusively shows that masking mandates make a difference in decreasing or stopping COVID-19 transmission rates,”
Even research that shows it *inconclusively* is hard to find, and poorly executed.
Beverly Hills; the elites never did follow the mandates, even when they were enforced.
"An analysis of Alameda County's June 2022 masking mandate, in fact, concluded it had no significant impact in comparison to its surrounding counties that did not impose a masking mandate. Alameda County dropped this mandate after only three weeks."It's shocking to see a Bay Area County doing something sensible and based in fact.
wonder how many new “immigrants” have moved in to the county.
Amazing what can happen when they follow the REAL science!
Beverly Hills is saying “my body, my choice” and LA County is against that?
Is that essentially how this works?
If Gruesome Newsom is losing Beverly Hills…
It’s shocking to see a Bay Area County doing something sensible and based in fact.
Agreed that’s it’s shocking, but it’s good to see there doing it. 👍
I think they should go one step further and announce that they will actively ARREST All LA County Employee’s caught not wearing a mask as required by their master, Barbara Ferrer
Barbara Ferrer who makes $600,000 a year also has a husband who makes 6 figures and a daughter makes $130,000. All work for the city of Los Angeles.
She is the one wanting the masks back on. She is the one who helped destroy 40% of the business’s in Los Angeles.
I’m watching to see if Mexican Sheriff Alex Villanueva tells these white, racist BLM females on the LA County board to stick a hose up their nose. This mask mandate will directly affect the Mexican small businesses in LA County.
Hispanics now make up nearly 50% of the population in LA County.
The population in Beverly Hills is pretty much at least 50% homeless living in sidewalk tents now. 2020 Burn Loot Mayhem antics shut down quite a few businesses for good
Alex HATES the Board. The interactions that get shown on TV are hilarious. In 2020 & 2021, he flat refused to enforce the mask mandate
I recently saw a video of her, on a video call, alone in her office wearing a N95.
