Why don't we follow the science
 

None of the proposed regulations are backed by any real scientific evidence.  We know the masks have little or no effect on the spread of the virus.   The regulation also states that there is no proof that prior exposure to the virus prevents future infection which is easily proven to be false in several studies.  Natural antibodies have been shown to be at least as effective as the vaccines and possibly even more effective.  This is nothing more than trying to use the regulatory process to get around existing laws because the governor is well aware that even with Democratic control of the legislature none of this would be passed into law. I expect a court challenge on day one and if it gets to the Supreme Court the state will lose.
