A city in California voted Wednesday to ban universal COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates, according to CBS News.
Huntington Beach City Council Mayor Pro Tempore Gracey Van Der Mark introduced the motion Tuesday night at the meeting to ban the mandates, according to the motion. Huntington Beach, California’s city council voted 4-3 to ban universal mask mandates and vaccine mandates in the city, though the mandate ban excludes those who have tested positive for COVID-19, according to CBS News.
COVID-19 mandates “unnecessarily limited the freedoms of the citizens of Huntington Beach — even those who were not around anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 or at risk of any exposure,” Mark wrote in the motion.
“With the increase in reports that there now may be a COVID resurgence and spread by a new COVID-19 variant, and additional discussion of possible new broad (universal) mask-wearing mandates and pushes for vaccination boosters, the City Council of Huntington Beach should take a stand against government imposing on individual liberties and broadly imposing response measures on individuals that have been proven to have little or no effectiveness,” the motion reads.

This is "man bites dog" news.
Someone standing up for freedom in the state of California?
Better not forget to put on the kevlar vest EVERY day.
Orange County is not Los Angeles County by a long stretch.
Not everyone is a leftist loon in California and kudos for them for taking a stand to get ahead of it. They undoubtedly recognize that California will be one of the first to institute mask mandates. There wouldn’t be a need to do this in South Dakota but when you’re surrounded by loons you’ve got to be proactive in dealing with the crazy stuff.
There’s still some common sense in the O.C.
Never trust a leftist.
This is marketing, plain and simple. If they ignored the constitution during the last “emergency”, what makes you think they’ll respect a statute?
What should happen is that voters get these folks out as known tyrants.
To allay that, they pass this ban in the hopes that voters will think they are nice now and learned their lesson.
Don’t believe it for a minute. Get rid of them.
p.s. every political candidate should be asked what they would do in a similar emergency, not just be asked “did you agree with”, etc..
...until the State mandates them.

The Religion of Masking!
GWENDOLYN KULL SEPTEMBER 14, 2023
Masking restrictions are not a “health power” the state governments are permitted to enforce.
Masking mandates are not a public health measure the federal government is permitted to sanction.
Both impede life and liberty guaranteed to the People by being human and safeguarded by the People through enforcing our Constitution.
As such, the People will not comply.
