Violet Affleck, the daughter of Hollywood stars Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, was at the United Nations on Tuesday to push for mask mandates, saying the world was irresponsible for returning to ‘business as usual’ after Covid. The Mail has more.
The 19 year-old activist spoke about the importance of masks and other preventative devices more than five years after the COVID-19 pandemic changed life on the planet for all.
Violet was appearing as part of an event titled Healthy Indoor Air: A Global Call to Action.
Violet, a first-year student at Yale’s Davenport College, said that it was essential to remain wearing masks to curb the spread of COVID-19.
“It is neglect of the highest order to look children in the eyes and say, ‘We knew how to protect you, and we didn’t do it,'” the Ivy League student said.
Violet said that the current generation was showing an alarming lack of responsibility in going back to business as usual, five years after the virus forced everyone indoors for months.
“For adults, the relentless beat of ‘back to normal’, ignoring, downplaying and concealing both the prevalence of airborne transmission and the threat of Long Covid manifested in a series of choices,” Violet told attendees.
The teenager made headlines last year when she demanded the imposition of “mask mandates” in medical facilities, citing her experience of contracting “a post-viral condition” in 2019.
In paparazzi photos, the eldest daughter of the Tinseltown staples has often been pictured wearing a mask at events with her family – even if she has been the only one to do so.
The young activist uses fashion to express her political beliefs. Last year, she was photographed wearing a mask and a black sweater adorned with a watermelon – sending a message of solidarity with Palestine.

As my local hospital, while treating my 94 year old father, insisted that covid was no worse than a cough or cold, it would seem that even the establishment are coming round to the whole affair being a storm in a teacup.
She’s not even a celebrity. Just the daughter of a celebrity. She speaks for nobody and yet gets a platform at the United Nations.
Says quite a lot about the UN really. 🤮
Why is this nobody being given a platform at the UN? Defund the UN
Dear Ben,
You have raised a loon.
regards,
everyone.
It has been proved beyond dispute that masks do not work. Now admitted by the CDC too. It was made up. We should make an exception for this lady however!
Sadly barking. What gives her the right to be listened to above people who actually know something about the subject.
A severe case of gretaitis
Obviously intelligence is no longer a requirement for entry to Yale.
Did her parents’ money and fame get her into Yale? Or maybe Jenn took paracetamol while pregnant?
What a complete nut job! And even greater nut jobs giving her a platform.
She needs help.
How on earth did she get a platform? Covid is now only a threat, like flu, to a tiny minority of people, and certainly not young ones.
If she is supposedly intelligent, she would know that masks cause more harm than good, still gets her name in the public view.
Not sure why this is given any airtime at all.
What an ignorant and stupid little girl. Using her spoiled-brat status to impose her crazy ideas. Read the evidence little lady!
Totally bonkers. Presumably cultural Marxists giving these silly people the time of day they are clearly not entitled to. Hardly surprising as the UN is part and parcel of all this madness.
Healthy indoor air = open a window.
A Hollywood Brat. So not the most “balanced” individual to listen to 🙂
The virus forced nobody indoors
Make Mask Asylums Great Again. Poor lamb 😢
Wow, that doesn’t sound like some form of mental condition from being bought up by divorced celebrities at all!
Wanting to live with your face covered up all the time does sound a little odd. There is a certain religion she might consider.
Odd, but a little sad.
It worth noting that in Japan where proactive wearing is common in the cities, people who have a risk of passing on respiratory infections wear them to pass them onto others. Depending upon a regularly worn face covering without any other infection control in the environment has little value to prevent diseases that might be spread by touch, ingestion etc.
To me it just sounds like a sad little celeb child who’s has a difficult childhood, spending too much time in the spotlight. At least the poor love wasn’t bought up to suffering from some form of gender dysphoria. Now that is cruel.
Another example that the movie star/actor set (and their progeny it seems) tend to be rather stupid. It’s hard to resist the tendency to rejoice in the reality that she’s doing herself harm by wearing that silly mask (one hopes she seldom takes it off).
The reduction in oxygen makes her a more likely candidate for cancer. And the jabs of course
She needs help
“Violet, a first-year student at Yale’s Davenport…….”
one might ask what she’s studying in her first year and does it support her claims about masking that flies in the face of physics and even microorganism pathology. Or is it psychology or propaganda shes intending to major in? Thank
Probably Philosophy!
Mental! if she wasn’t the daughter of schlebs she wouldn’t be there. Once again the UN demonstrates its irrelevence to the world today.
I wonder if she and her ilk ever ponder the riddle of disease transmission. And has she perchance ever studied Germ and Terrain theory.
It must be nice to luxuriate in such certainty.
No problem to them though is it?
Just mask up, vax and you’ll be fine.
What a F.ing world.
What an unmitigated twit. She should be in a secure unit for the mentally handicapped for the safety of the rest of us.
Brain fried by celeb parents and mRNA injections.
Sad. Poor woman.
More here. This is clearly more than coincidence. It’s like a cult. And I’d be hard pushed to name a single celeb that’s a fan of Trump. All they ever do is slag him off;
”These are Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s children.
One is a Covid MASK activist demanding mask mandates be reinstated in 2025.
The other is TRANS and identifies as a boy.
Their ex stepsister, Jennifer Lopez’s daughter, also identifies as Non-Binary.
Daughter of Jennifer Garner= TRANS.
Daughter of Cynthia Nixon= TRANS.
Son of Robert De Niro= TRANS.
Son of Gabrielle Union = TRANS.
Son of Naomi Watts= TRANS.
Daughter of Marlon Wayans= TRANS.
Son of Charlize Theron= TRANS.
Daughter of Cher= TRANS.
Son of Jamie Lee Curtis= TRANS.
Daughter of Rosie O’Donnell= Non-Binary.
Daughter of Jennifer Lopez= Non-Binary.
KIds of Megan Fox = Trans”

You’re the child of a wealthy, white celeb, how else do you gain a victimhood & attention?
Hollywood is the breeding ground for these misfits!
They are a generational discredit to the whole industry
If she were Bob the Builder’s daughter, she wouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the United Nations.
Her two Hollywood celebrity parents are forcing everyone to indulge the fantasies of their deranged sprog.
Just like the Bratulent Greta, these are excellent examples of the old saying:
“Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child”.
So correct
Ben and Jen not disowned her yet? Cripes.
Oh, no, of course not. They ARE the problem, aren’t they?!
I like the fart test – if you can small a fart whilst wearing a facemask, know this: it will not prevent a virus from passing either.
She’s gone full Howard Hughes. This is what relentless Chicken Licken propaganda and “Nudge Units” can do to naive and vulnerable minds.
Pffffft!
I like to see her build the Glomar Explorer!
I thought Howard Hughes was a recluse (a very rich one). I wish this girl would follow suit!
