The coronavirus pandemic may feel like a past-tense phenomenon for many Americans, even though the dangers are real and ongoing. But a federal judge appointed by Donald Trump just did everything she could to send the nation back into chaos.
On Monday, Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle in Florida threw out the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s mask mandate for air travel and other forms of mass transportation. Deaths from COVID-19—and the mask mandates intended to prevent them—may be on the wane nationwide, but whatever you think about such policies, this is the latest and most egregious example of a judge acting as a partisan warrior in the COVID-19 culture wars......
Let CDC make the call based on science. And don’t handcuff public health agencies during this pandemic—and for future health emergencies that are almost certain to come.

“and the mask mandates intended to prevent them”
Operative word being “intended”. In actual reality, they did absolutely nothing to prevent any illness or death.
“Masks are democrats’ MAGA hats
Karens are still free to wear them if they want to. Just leave the rest of us the hell alone.”
Exactly! If you want to wear a mask wear it if you don’t want to wear one then don’t. If you feel uncomfortable being on a plane with people who are maskless then find an alternate way to travel.
“Let CDC make the call based on science.”
The problem is that the CDC is making the call based on something other than science, since all the science tells us that masks don’t work to stop respiratory viruses.
Because they say that the science says masks work and everybody knows that if you say “the science says” first, then it’s automatically true.
And we also know that science denier Trump! is automatically wrong about everything, so now we’re all gonna die from covid again because of Trump!
Only more vaxx and less Trump! can save us now. It’s so obvious.
Does anyone have a link to the actual ruling itself?
Way to go, Judgy wudgy! Right over the target.
Worse than just not effective against aersolized virus. Those TSA Aholes stopped people from wearing respirators that actually do stop submicron particles. You couldn’t wear a P100 or better rated respirator inside an airport or plane. They forced you to take off real protection and put on a face diaper instead. Their justification was the exit vents were not filtered. Well you can buy exit vents caps that are filters nope not acceptable that right there said everything you needed to know about the TSA and .gov F’em all not only Gone Halt but not giving a single dollar to the airlines or cruise industry.
Y’know — as much as the headline from The Beast just BLOWS, I take great satisfaction in knowing it reflects just how deeply resident Trump is camped out inside the Liberals’ heads.
Even OUT of the White House, he’s got this crowd FIRMLY by the short ‘n’ curlies.
Yep. The Daily Beast is beastly.
I didn’t know that about the filters but, I’m not surprised.
Now I want a “MAGA Nightmare” t-shirt. :)
Set biebers to stune!
And not only does a law need to be passed, but regulations need to drafted and there needs to be negotiated rule making before implementation. I work for a federal agency and have attended “neg reg” sessions. It incorporates community and stakeholder feedback. It takes months. It’s a process and the CDC violated the administrative procedures act.
I do not think it(science) means what they think it means.
Even BART—(SF Bay Area Rapid Transit) announced today they are dropping mask enforcement. Deep blue SF!
The judge ruled that the CDC has to follow the law.
The rule of law is not a controversial position.
You mean stopping the travel nightmare?
The Daily Beast is a gronifier. People can decide for themselves when to wear masks. No mandate needed.
