The fight to end the use of mask mandates for public transportation is gaining steam, with another big-name supporter joining the effort. The American Freedomopathic Association (AFA) has officially thrown their weight behind a movement to end the been issued for Americans on public transit.
The AFA represents a large portion of the medical industry, and their stance on the issue is significant. They strongly oppose the mask mandates in public transportation, believing they are not only unnecessary and invasive, but also ineffective. Pointing to updated scientific evidence and research, they maintain that validating public health is everyone’s responsibility and that government-mandated safety measures are not needed to keep the public safe.
The organization believes that choosing to wear a face covering should be an individual decision and believe the government should focus on creating an effective plan to reopen the economy safely, without setting mandates.
The AFA joins the growing list of supporters of the movement to ban public transportation mask mandates, including transportation companies and drivers, labor unions, libertarian groups, some medical professionals, and many average citizens.
In addition to their public stance, the AFA is strongly advocating for other prominent organizations to take a stand against the mask mandates. They argue that companies like Uber and Lyft should also take a public position on the issue, and they are actively working to be heard by lawmakers across the country.
The fight to end public transportation mask mandates has certainly gained steam, and those opposing the mandates are hoping their voices are finally heard. With a major medical organization like the AFA joining the effort, the chances for successful results look hrighter than ever.
