The language of the burqa bans include face masks. They were and remain the law in many European nations. Have been upheld by the European Court of Human Rights - the right to expect and see an uncovered face in public is a human right! Their declaration!

I often cited the burqa bans and rationale behind them in my arguments against mask mandates. A human right that isn't inferior even in a declared emergency.

Yet, even the courts that declared it's a human right to see a free face in public ignored their own rulings when mask mandates were enacted.

It's odd to see them go back to enforcing bans now. Another example of how we do not live under the rule of law and that courts are merely political rubber stamps for the agendas of those in power. There is no enduring, overriding law, jurisprudence philosophy other than the expression of power. Another example of how arbitrary, whimsical and capricious the law is today. In the US and Europe.

Sure, put another ban of facial coverings, burqas masks, etc on the books. But don't think for a moment that it will be enforced the next time those in power find it inconvenient to not enforce the ban. A feature of tyrannical, despotic and corrupt rule by criminals is arbitrary, whimsical and capricious law. Switzerland's ban will similarly be ignored in future "emergencies."

Human rights defined by the WHO- only when it serves their purpose. Switzerland is not acting unilaterally but with pressure no doubt from its masters. Banning the Muslim practice now opens the door to further discrimination ie. no crucifixes can be worn on a persons body in the future. Human rights should allow individual autonomy regarding how one presents themselves in public.

NOT covered faces. Covered faces are NOT a human right. They are devices of terrorism. Pure, unadulterated terrorism. Used to make others fearful.

Numerous psychological studies done to prove it. Still face baby studies. Traumatizing. Studies of the effect of masked faces demonstrate they impact the amygdala fight, fight, freeze instinct trigger exactly the same as seeing a snake for most people. They also make a population more violent, less able to discern intentions, seriousness of a threat that facial expressions communicate to a brain evolved to detect and rely on them for peaceful encounters involving disagreement.

There's a reason that pre-2020 masks were only seen in public on bank robbers and airplane hijackers. Chosen by epidemiologists trained in Behavioral Science psychological manipulation to "amplify fear" in a population that 'suffers' from "optimism bias." Their terms, their justification to scare us away from one another and take their health commands seriously. The 'terror' part of a bioterror attack was masks, facial coverings.

No. Mask wearing in public MUST be banned. The ECHR got it right when it ruled in August 2019 that it's a human right to see uncovered faces in public. Just months before the tyrants required them.

Perhaps banning them will even help the victims of the global psychological attack who will now only go out in public with masks on or only see masked faces in hospitals and nursing homes where they need human connection more than anything else. Break their imposed psychosis.

The rest of what you say is true.
