The Minnesota Medical ASSociation (MMA) have partnered Multiple times, with big pharma and the MN Democraps to take away citizens' freedoms for big pharma's profits & kick back donations to the MN democraps. MMA condones a Police State, Nanny Medicine…follow the money!
Well the Minnesota Medical ASSociation ignores studies that prove masks don't work, that masks may be more harmful…nor have they provided any scientific proof that can be duplicated to show they work.
No wonder they have lost all their credibility. Follow the Money!
In fact, the Minnesota Medical ASSociation (MMA) basically a Lobbying Group, should be charged with negligence! Not one peep out of them when Dimwit Walz & the rest of the Dimwit MN Politicians voted to continue shoving Covid 19 positive patients in with the most vulnerable and likely to die from Covid 19, the elderly in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

Minnesota doctors (Minnesota Medical ASSociation (MMA)) call for more mask mandates
The doctors said they "fully support" the new Twin Cities mandates and urged "other communities to consider similar actions."
“Wearing well-fitted masks is a valuable strategy in our ongoing fight to slow the spread of COVID-19 and the highly contagious omicron variant,” the statement reads. “The best defense against COVID-19 and serious complications remains vaccination and boosters. Well-fitted masks, social distancing, washing your hands, staying home when you’re sick, and getting tested if you have symptoms offer additional protection.”
The mandates come as infections from the Omicron variant continue to skyrocket in states across the country, though not without any concomitant spike in deaths.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has also expressed support for the new Twin Cities mandates.
“At this point in time this move makes sense,” he told reporters. “I would expect there would be several other jurisdictions that may follow.”
Despite this show of support, Walz added that he won’t implement a statewide mask mandate “at this time.”
The new mandate took effect in most indoor public spaces at 5 p.m. on Thursday.
“The data is clear. The surging numbers of cases and hospitalizations from the omicron variant demand immediate action to keep our residents healthy while making every effort to allow schools and businesses to remain safe and open,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said in a statement. “We have to keep our city healthy and moving. Wearing a mask is an obvious next step to do both.”
“Reinstating the masking requirement is an important step in keeping our communities safe amid the surge of COVID-19 cases in Saint Paul,” added St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter. “This, alongside our work to ensure Saint Paul residents have the tools and access they need to get vaccinated are paramount to recovering from this pandemic and building toward our future.”
