Subject:Mask Mandate
Dear City Council,
I am a business owner and life long resident of Rexburg. I object to the proposed forced
mandates and I am disappointed in the way our Mayor is scrambling to gain positive
public opinion by cowering to the mask population growing in Rexburg due to the fear
propaganda.
I teach people how to live a healthy life. I live it. I work out every day. I eat nutritious
food. I encourage everyone to try it! I have tagged the city on my IG account stories
multiple times with no response from your social media manager explaining
the importance of building a proper immune system. I have publicly advocated for
building immunity and have even posted signs on our business window showing people
the many ways one can build a healthy body. Maybe I missed it or didn't see it, but I
have never seen the city advocate for eating healthy, exercising or cutting out sugar,
fast food or even promoting positive mental health during this time- which is so
important!
Covid cases do not equal covid deaths. IF this is a pandemic, we would see the deaths
increase with the cases, but we are not seeing that. That is why everyone is obsessed
with cases - that's all you have. Cases! We have a 99.9% recovery rate and I will take
my chances. Is covid real? Yes. Is it as bad as they said it was? No. 803 Covid deaths
puts us right below Accidents at 876 and above strokes at 726 for the State of Idaho
total deaths in 2018. Plain and simple, the flu has been rebranded as Covid -19.
I will not wear a mask because I am not sick nor will I enforce the mask mandate in my
business. I will not hang your posters up near the entrances. I will treat my patrons like
ADULTS. If someone wants to wear a mask that is their right but I will not enforce it.
I believe most on the front lines, especially in law enforcement have been reluctant to
enforce unjust and tyrannical orders and mandates that violate the rights of their fellow
Americans, especially when they are the ones who have taken the oath to uphold them.
My intention is to encourage all freedom loving Rexburg citizens to allow other law
abiding people and businesses who provide a value to their community to live and
operate freely without being constantly bothered by fearful propaganda constantly
thrown in our faces. These are anti-american orders and I do not comply.
I object to the fines, to the proposed misdemeanors and the tyranny. THIS TYRANNY
ENDS WHEN WE SAY IT ENDS! I have objected to all of this publicly since day one and I
will not stop advocating for individual responsibility and personal rights. Let there be no
1
misunderstanding- I do not comply. I do not consent. The fines and misdemeanors do
not scare me. I do not operate in fear and I will not play your game.
The people of Rexburg want to be left alone and do not need a condescending Mayor
treating us like children. We can govern ourselves and we accept the risks involved with
being alive.
My rights do not end where you want to feel safe! End this once and for all- leave the
people of Rexburg ALONE! You will never be able to get rid of a virus. It is impossible.
You teach people how to live and be healthy -but a mask does not make you healthy!
We do not mask a healthy population of people. If you're sick, stay home!
If you're only going to promote masks as a way of being healthy, then I will promote
healthy living mask free, from my IG page, as I always have, for 4 years now. You are
free to follow and watch my stories. You might even learn something!
Sincerely,
Lori Ward
