Violet Affleck Caused Controversy When She Spoke Against Mask Bans Before the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors
Violet Affleck: “To confront the Long COVID crisis I demand mask availability, air filtration and far-UVC light in government facilities, including jails and detention centers and mask mandates in county medical facilities. We must expand availability of tests and treatment.…
The outing comes as Violet Affleck caused controversy when she hit the news for a very different reason: She spoke out about masks and COVID-19 before the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, according to a video shared on X by a user named Dr. Lucky Tran.
Violet Affleck described herself in the appearance as a “Los Angeles resident, first-time voter and 18.”
“I contracted a post-viral condition in 2019,” she told the board. “I’m OK now, but I saw first-hand that medicine does not always have answers to the consequences of even minor viruses.” Violet added, “The Covid-19 pandemic has thrown that into sharper relief.”
“One in 10 infections leads to long Covid, which is a devastating neurological and cardiovascular illness that can take away people’s ability to work, see, move and even think,” Affleck said to the board. “To confront the long Covid crisis, I demand mask availability, air filtration and far-UVC lights in government facilities, including jails and detention centers, and mask mandates in county medical facilities.”
She urged the board to reject masking bans, saying they don’t keep people safe and adding, “Most importantly the county must oppose mask bans for any reason.”
Violet’s speech was met with controversy on X, where some people criticized her, and others praised her.
“The world needs more young people like Violet Affleck who dares to speak up 👏” wrote one X user. But another X user wrote, “I care about Ashley Judd’s opinion as much as I care about Violet Affleck’s opinion.”
