Looking for lawfag commentary.

point 1: most communication is nonverbal

point 2: facial expressions are important to verbal communication

point 3: masks prevent/restrict the use of facial expression for communication

point 4: mask mandates are therefore an infringement on free speech

response: masks are necessary for public health

point 5: there is no scientific evidence that masks are effective in a=non clinical= setting at preventing the spread of influenza like illness or COVID-19

sauce: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article#r33

point 7: there exists scientific evidence that the prolonged wearing of masks may be harmful.

sauce: ? (seen them but don't have them on hand at the moment) [anecdotal- have heard people complain of increased headaches since wearing masks]{not talking about specific health condition here, but rather use by the general population}

point 8: if not effective, and potentially harmful they cannot be claimed to be necessary

Thoughts?
