Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s 18 year-old daughter Violet has demanded the imposition of “mask mandates” in medical facilities and called for an end to all “mask bans” in a plea to the governing body for Los Angeles County. The Mail has the story.
The 18-year-old, citing her experience of contracting ‘a post-viral condition’ in 2019, urged the LA County Board of Supervisors “to confront the Long Covid crisis” by strengthening pandemic-era protections in hospitals and Government buildings.
“I demand mask availability, air filtration and Far-UVC light in Government facilitates, including jails and detention centers, and mask mandates in county medical faculties,” Violet, who is often seen wearing a face mask, said.
“You must expand the availability of high-quality free tests and treatment, and most importantly the county must oppose mask bans for any reason. They do not keep us safer.”
Violet’s controversial speech was met with both praise and criticisms, with some hailing her as “courageous” and others “utterly deluded”.
Her plea comes just weeks after it emerged that Dr. Anthony Fauci admitted the restrictions he put in place during lockdown didn’t do much to “slow the spread” of Covid, and as lawmakers are signalling an openness to reinstating mask bans amid a rise in clashes at protests.
Violet argued that anti-mask measures are making “vulnerable members of our community less safe” and “make everyone less able to participate in Los Angeles together”.
She also detailed her experience of contracting “a post-viral condition” in 2019, and said she “saw first-hand” that medicine doesn’t always have answers to the “consequences of even minor viruses”.
