LOS ANGELES, CA – Let’s get one thing out of the way. Nobody should have to wear a medical-surgical mask if they are healthy, vaccinated, boosted, or recently had COVID-19. Multiple studies have shown that most masks worn by Americans are not very effective at stopping the spread of COVID-19.

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, even Dr. Anthony Fauci said healthy Americans should not be wearing facemasks.

At the time, Dr. Faucis said, “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences — people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.”

Fast forward to 2022 when masking up has become a religion for the left, including Los Angeles Mayor who was caught maskless, violating social distancing protocol against his city’s own health guidance.


Photos tweeted by former L.A. Laker Magic Johnson show a maskless Mayor Eric Garcetti, California Governor Gavin Newsom and San Francisco Mayor London Breed together, maskless at the Rams-49ers NFC championship game.


Now, Garcetti said he removed his mask only for a few seconds and held his breath while unmasked. He defended his actions during a press conference on Wednesday.

“I’ll take personal responsibility, and if it makes you and everyone else happy — or even the photographs with people where literally I’m holding my breath for two seconds — I won’t even do that,” the mayor said. “When people ask for a photograph, I hold my breath.”
