A Brave Stand
In a recent and impassioned public plea, Violet Affleck, the 18-year-old daughter of Hollywood stars Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, took a bold stand at the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meeting. Known for her reserved public persona, Violet stepped into the spotlight to advocate for stronger public health measures amidst ongoing COVID-19 concerns.

Violet's plea was deeply personal.
She recounted her experience with a post-viral condition contracted in 2019, a struggle that has profoundly shaped her views on public health. "I contracted a post-viral condition in 2019.

This experience has been a driving force behind her advocacy for mask mandates and other health protections.

During her speech, Violet called for comprehensive measures to combat long COVID, emphasizing the need for mask availability, air filtration, and far-UVC light in government facilities, including jails and detention centers. She also passionately opposed mask bans, arguing that such policies endanger vulnerable community members and reduce overall public safety. "They do not keep us safer," Violet asserted.
