You give Texas as an example; but important for your example, its government disincentivized and removed the rights from companies, private property, and small local governments to require masks, vaccines, or reduction in capacities.
- notch656a 5y agoCan you point to me where it was made illegal to require a mask on private property in Texas (other than perhaps for certain disabled persons per ADA)? My understanding is masks mandates were only banned in places like public schools, where the owner is the public thus the individual public student has the decision to wear a mask or not. I would certainly disagree with this sort of control on private school, although I might add it could be a public health risk to mandate masks in school as it could harm the linguistic health of some young children developing language skills.
- smileysteve 5y agoI believe you're correct on masks, only applying to smaller local government and not private property. Employers were banned from vaccine mandates (even on their private property). Court rulings were that these were abuse of the state government on smaller local governments and private entities.
