Bernie Sanders Introduces Bill to Provide Free N95 Masks to All Americans
Posted On 13 Jan 2022
In July of 2020, Sen. Bernie Sanders led the charge to provide Americans with the masks needed to curb the spread of COVID-19. While his “Masks for All Act” did not make it to vote two years ago, Sen. Sanders has not given up, reintroducing the act on Tuesday alongside over 50 Democrats.
The new bill aims to “provide, manufacture, and distribute high quality N95 respirator masks for every individual in the United States during the COVID–19 pandemic using the Defense Production Act and other means.”
The bill goes on to state that every person in the US, even those who cannot provide proof of citizenship, would be eligible to receive three N95 masks, and that the masks would be delivered via the US Postal Service.
According to The Hill, the “Masks for All Act” would allocate $5 billion for the manufacturing and distribution of N95 masks, which experts have stated offer much better protection against COVID-19 than basic face coverings like surgical masks or fabric masks.
“As we face the rapidly spreading omicron variant, we should remember that not all face masks are created equal,” Sen. Sanders said, urging Congress to “demand the mass production and distribution of N95 masks, one of the most effective ways to stop the spread of the Covid virus.”
He went on to state that “it is an absolute scandal that in the richest country in the history of the world, high-quality masks are not more readily available to frontline workers, health care workers, and all Americans.”
Despite these calls for better promotion of N95 masks, the CDC has stated that it will not change its guidance on masks to urge Americans to wear higher-quality ones, with CDC Director Rochelle Walensky stating that people need to feel comfortable in them so they wear them.

Show us the science-you are NOT a doctor or scientist !!
Mask don’t protect people from a virus, mask allow government to control cit, not your job buddy!!
Do America a favor and retire, go fishing go on vacation just go
YES!!!!
Resign or be impeached Bernie! We need less egregious and hypocritical politicians like you.
Once again Bernie will save the day. What a Joke!!!!
He wants to spend more money that is not his and put the US more in debt.
Government spending is getting way out of control.
If Bernie and Biden wants to spend more money, they should take it out of their own pockets or the Democratic Party coffers.
Enough is enough!
So is Bernie paying for these masks? He is a leach on the ass of society.
I agree let democrats all chip in the 5 million an they flip the bill
Why should we as taxpayers need to pay for.🤣
Very well stated.
News flash “Bern” it aint free .If the govt pays for them we pay for them. You are a twit.
Free ? We the People end up PAYING FOR EVERYTHING, as has been said too many times before, “ EVERYTHING IS GREAT AS LONG AS THEIR MONEY DOESN’t OUT, SOCIALISM IS FULL OF FREE STUFF”.
The Science says that masks do not protect you, or them, or those folks over there. So what good is something that doesn’t Work ? Oh yea kinda like the vaccines.
Keep your Masks, Bernie
The free masks will be just like free test kits. People will grab up large numbers, leaving most people with none. There is no procedure to pass out test pacs and there will be no way to give masks. Totally absurd.
If a program is established try doing it with order. One person one mask, or whatever amount is set. If they have dependents there should furnish proof. I’m tired of how unorganized these programs are.
I won’t wear a N95 mask, no telling where it’s made and what it’s costing US!
I wear masks as little as possible. i had to wear one today to go to the Emergency room. It was a N95 or KN95 I forget I couldn’t breathe. If I took in a deep breath it would suck in on me like a balloon getting the air sucked out of it. I was constantly being told to put my mask back on. NO NO NO. This gone on way to long. Why aren’t the Right side start having push back? Put up Billboards telling the truth. Try to get commercials. Lets donate some money to start our own TV network. Something. We need more examples of cured people using alternative methods. BTW I got the mask for free. Funny they want people to wear a mask even if it isn’t approved as in Gators pulled up over your nose and mouth. Bandana’s covering you face. What crck of double standards.
Bernie emerges from one of his many homes. Of course he hates millionaires and billionaires. Covid must be over now that Bernie came out of his hole and saw his shadow. 12 more months of Covid. He can take his N95 mask and wipe his a$$ with it. We don’t need a government hand out
Well, I see looneytoons is at it STILL. When the china virus first hit the fan – I had several of the preferred masks and figured out the would not do a bit of good protecting anyone. Put one on – put your hand in front of the mask and exhale hard. You will feel your breath coming through the mask and the virus is 1000 times smaller than your breath!
Sanctimonious, leftist grifter. His net worth is at least $2M. And for those of you in love with him, it is your contributions and support that that helped propel this socialist chiseler to millionaire status. When will you lefties wake up?? There is no free lunch. You are trading your freedom and liberty for lies. All your progressive heroes are nothing but bloviating, duplicitous psychopaths who could not care less about you, your rights, humanity, public health or America. All they care about is themselves, power and control.
Only the masks “Made in America” should be paid for by the American people!!
This “pandemic” is OVER
1/19/2022 – “England Ends All COVID Passports, Mask Mandates, Work Restrictions”.
Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Singapore, Thailand, South Africa, and Chile have already lifted them.
1/19/22 – “England Ends Mask and Vaccine Mandate, Czech Republic Does Too, But US Democrats WANT MORE HARSH MANDATES”
Must be Sanders last ditch effort to try to skim some money off of the Trillion dollar packages shoved through congress by the Democrats.
