It is clear to me as a physician-lawyer that the disinformation about both Covid-19 and the Constitution has caused us to turn a medical issue into a legal crisis.
作为一名医生兼律师，我很清楚，有关2019冠状病毒和宪法的虚假信息，已经导致我们把一个医疗问题变成了一场法律危机。
The scientific usefulness of a mask has been so aggressively overstated, and the foundational importance of the Constitution has been so aggressively understated, that we have normalized people screaming obscenities at each other while hiking.
面具的科学价值被过分夸大，宪法的基本重要性被过分低估，以至于人们在徒步旅行时互相大喊大叫。
The Covid virus was supposed to be contained in the kind of lab where people wear astronaut suits and go through triple sealed doors. It is a con of massive proportion to assert that now, having escaped those environs, a bandana will magically do the trick.
冠状病毒应该被控制在那种实验室里人们穿着宇航服通过三重密封的门。断言现在已经逃离了那些环境，一块大手帕就能神奇地起作用，这是一个极大的欺骗。
After all, size matters.
毕竟，尺寸很重要。
The pore size of cloth face coverings range from ~ 20-100 microns. The Covid virus is 200-1000x smaller than that, at 0.1 microns. Putting up a chain link fence will not keep out a mosquito. Even the most esteemed medical journals admit their purpose is to calm anxiety. “Expanded masking protocols’ greatest contribution may be to reduce the transmission of anxiety …”
布面覆盖物的孔径在 20-100 微米之间。而 Covid 病毒的孔径只有 0.1 微米，比它小 200-1000 倍。用铁丝网围起来是挡不住蚊子的。即使是最受推崇的医学杂志也承认，它们的目的是平息焦虑。"扩大掩蔽方案的最大贡献可能是减少焦虑的传播......"
Of course, by knowledge or common sense observation, most Americans already know that masking everyone is superstition. But unlike privately carrying a lucky charm, mandating facial coverings requires the consent of the governed.
当然，通过知识或常识的观察，大多数美国人已经知道，遮蔽每个人是迷信。但与私下携带幸运符不同，强制要求面部遮盖需要被治者的同意。
Many cultures mandate clothing that appears totally irrational to outsiders. Never have those cultures pretended that there is a scientific basis for their clothing requirement.
许多文化要求服装在外人看来完全不合理。这些文化从来没有假装他们的服装需求是有科学依据的。
Their leaders rule, and their citizens accept, that their choice of clothing is due to religious or cultural preference.
他们的领导人统治，他们的公民接受，他们的服装选择是由于宗教或文化偏好。
Not wearing a mask is not mere “personal choice” like deciding between a head covering or a t-shirt. It is a flashpoint for being a free human being who has consented to be governed but has not consented to be ruled. We do not consent to a masked America, because that is a fundamental change in American society, culture, norms, and rights.
不戴面具不仅仅是“个人选择”，就像在头罩和 T 恤之间做选择一样。这是一个自由人的爆发点，他同意被统治，但不同意被统治。我们不同意蒙面的美国，因为这是美国社会、文化、规范和权利的根本变化。
People who are apathetic toward their own liberty cannot eliminate Constitutional rights for those who are not. This is not the first (or last) time that people who believe in superstition are screaming the loudest. The Constitution exists precisely to protect all people during times of mass hysteria.
对自己的自由漠不关心的人不能为那些不这样做的人消除宪法赋予的权利。这不是第一次(也不是最后一次)相信迷信的人尖叫得最大声。宪法的存在正是为了在群体歇斯底里时期保护所有人。
The mask has become the most visible symbol of #socialconditioning to Americans determined to preserve individual freedom. Thus far most Americans have continued to give their consent to be governed. But you are trying our patience.
对于决心维护个人自由的美国人来说，面具已经成为 # 社会条件反射最明显的象征。到目前为止，大多数美国人仍然同意被统治。但你在考验我们的耐心。
