The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Tuesday said it would appeal a ruling nullifying the federal mandate for masks on planes and other public transit if the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) determines that a “mandatory order remains necessary for the public’s health.”
“The Department continues to believe that the order requiring masking in the transportation corridor is a valid exercise of the authority Congress has given CDC to protect the public health,” DOJ spokesman Anthony Coley said in a statement Tuesday evening. “That is an important authority the Department will continue to work to preserve.”

Droplets dry up. Told viruses go through masks or breathed back in increasing your viral load, if you have an infection. That was 35 years ago, and I don’t think science has changed.
Have a pilot friend and, yes, their air in a plane is probably the cleanest we can breathe.
The best science the CDC could provide was uncontrolled studies highlighting first such groups as 139 hairdresser clients, 382 sailors on the U.S.S. Roosevelt, 124 Beijing households, and 839 Thailand residents subject to contact tracing. All results came from observation followed by personal judgement, and none result from the mathematical disciplines used to rigorously evaluate complex environments.
In the same article the CDC disparaged the 2020 randomized controlled trial (RCT) in Denmark involving 4,862 participants, which found no benefit to wearing masks to prevent infection. That makes common sense, because wearing the masks I see is like putting up a chain-link fence to keep out flys.
The disciplines of a RCT divides participants into different groups on a randomized basis. Random assignment means that factors not specifically controlled can cancel each other out by appearing equally in both groups. One group receives the treatment (which in this case was the mask) and the other group does not. Researchers can isolate the one variable and are not able to introduce biases to produce a preferred outcome.
RCT’s are considered the highest standard for this type of research. Therefore, the most reasonable approach for the CDC would have been to consider this study as a benchmark against which others would be evaluated, including studies from other countries which found masks ineffective and even harmful.
The above represents an especially valid approach, since the first four combined citations from their May scientific brief had less than half the participants of the Danish study. The proposed approach is especially valid also because the CDC dismissed the study for involving only .001 of Denmark’s population. At the same time polls predicting the decisions of 150,000,000 voters in a national election were determined by less than1,500 participants or less than .00001.

Biden Stands by CDC Mask Mandates Even as Democrat Governors Revolt https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/02/09/biden-stands-by-cdc-mask-mandates-even-as-democrat-governors-revolt/
liberals stuck on stupid !
winter is coming... I mean the midterms are coming!
Is it me or is the Biden Administration doing everything in their power to be on the wrong side of every issue that effects normal Americans? I have never witnessed such stubborn adherence to a train wreck in policy. The CDC doesn’t have the power to mandate, only Congress does. I am sick of Biden, Harris, Psaki Ginger and the rest of his cabinet that seeks to do harm to the US daily!
If they cared about the public health they wouldn’t be trying to force killer shots and masks that don’t work. They care about control and killing people.
FL Supreme Court ?
11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
THEY'RE NOT EVEN A GOVERNMENT AGENCY!!!
SHOUT THIS FROM THE ROOFTOPS!
It got worse during Trump's four years. Their hatred made them blind, so they reversed every Trump policy no matter how good it was for the country. And most of Trump's policies were very good.
Where is CDC on all these diseases flooding in from the Southern border?
So when a court slaps down rulings from “our side” it’s a done deal.
But if it’s “their side” it’s more courts until they get their way.
Time to just “eliminate “ “them”.
This is ridiculous. If it was 1775 with the cowards today we’d be drinking tea and driving on the left.
Pitiful sheep.
“The Department continues to believe that the order requiring masking in the transportation corridor is a valid exercise of the authority Congress has given CDC...”
No, no, no, that still does not give a valid explanation why the Justice Department would want to jump in and run interference for the CDC. The DOJ is supposed to go after illegalities. The Federal judge is not engaging in illegalities.
The DOJ is doing that because it is solely the Biden administration’s bitch.
They only issue recommendations and guidelines, not laws.
Why so many cowards follow them in sad.
For 2 years I carried a sharpie and would circle “CDC Guidelines “ on the signs at stores. Irrated fascist wannabes.
The blowback is going to be epic.
I’ve had that feeling since the day he was installed.
He is being paid well to destroy the U.S.A.
It’s as if Biden wants to kill the Democrat party for generation. I have never seen anything like it in my lifetime. And I lived through the Carter administration.
Reasons why the peoples house needs to be purged real good, an unrelenting purge on the first day of a new America
The corrupt & weird leading the corrupt & weird.
