    There’s priority to this stuff. As they say, your freedom to swing your fist ends at my face. Being forced to wear a mask does infringe on freedom, but being forced to contract a potentially deadly disease because you can’t put on a stupid mask is a greater infringement. See also: you don’t have the freedom to drive recklessly, you don’t have the freedom to set off fireworks anywhere you want, you don’t have the freedom to assault people.

      Both the federal circuit and the supreme court agrees.
