Politicians say mask bans should come back as pre-COVID, they were law since 1845. But scientists discovered viruses in the 1890s, discovered how they worked in the mid-1900s, and discovered SARS in the 2000s. Mask bans are outdated, anti-science laws that belong in the past.

Dr. Tran - the mask bans that you reference were not about medical masks. They were "anti-Ku Klux Klan" laws that were enacted to prevent people from committing crimes (often violent crimes) without fear of being publicly identified. firstamendment.mtsu.edu/article/anti...

Most anti-mask laws do not target specific groups. Instead, they typically ban mask wearing that intimidates. Opponents of such laws invoke First Amendment freedom of association.

Whether they were on the books or not, nobody cared if you wore a mask before COVID arrived. Ppl wore them.

At this point, I really do wonder if they just don't like the way they look being photographed in them. Seems a(n il)logical reason as any at this point.
