Time for Basalt to ditch mandatory masks

What does the Basalt council know that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not?

Or, what does the CDC know that the Basalt council does not?

Who is following the science? Who is not following the science? What is the science for masks?

Twenty-five states have lifted the mask mandates. There have been no reports of surges in cases, hospitalizations, or deaths.




If there was a concern about health, then why haven’t we been told to optimize our Vitamin D levels? What about stop eating sugar and junk food? The biggest risk factor for getting sick is obesity.

Basalt should rescind the mask mandate immediately.
