chosen.content: Some people oppose mask mandates under the guise that they are unconstitutional restrictions on our freedom. This claim is false, however, as masks are required by many government regulators as a form of disease control in order to keep people and communities safe. Though the mandates are in force, the regulations used to enforce them generally follow constitutional muster, so there is typically no reason for courts to interfere. In the end, wearing a mask to help protect yourself and others is likely seen as an acceptable risk-mitigation strategy by government regulators.

rejected.content: Yes, some of the mask mandates recently put in place by the government are likely unconstitutional. This is because they infringe on individual liberties without proper justification and may interfere with other Constitutional rights. Additionally, the government does not have the authority to dictate how citizens must protect themselves during a pandemic unless there is an applicable health or safety ordinance in place. Therefore, states must find a balance between protecting people and their constitutional rights.
