Masks on a Plane

 

 

If you still thought the CDC had any credibility left, Nate Jackson at Patriot Post explains:

U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, an appointee of Donald Trump, on Monday issued a nationwide injunction against the CDC’s mask mandate on airlines and other public transportation. She ruled that the CDC had overstepped its statutory authority, for which it had pointed to the “sanitation” provision of the 1944 Public Health Service Act. She also said the CDC’s mandate violated the Administrative Procedure Act.

. . .

That doesn’t mean the White House pretended to be happy about it. “This is obviously a disappointing decision,” huffed Press Secretary Jen Psaki. “The CDC continues recommending wearing a mask in public transit.”

The CDC continues to be wrong and bereft of credibility.

 . . .

The dirty little secret is that we never needed to wear masks on planes, or pretty much anywhere else, for that matter. “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci on March 8, 2020. He and all the other experts correctly thought the same thing before COVID was politicized and it became a moral imperative to “do something.”

CDC : another about-face on COVID "guidelines"

Here’s Tony Perkins at Patriot Post

CDC: Why Mask? Don’t Ask

The CDC’s latest decision “is just going to create more vaccine hesitancy. It’s going to backfire.”

On Tuesday, new CDC guidance directed vaccinated persons to wear masks indoors over most of the country, and urged everyone in K-12 schools to wear masks in the fall. The guidance reversed the rules the CDC issued earlier this year, which recognized that people vaccinated against COVID-19 do not need to wear masks because they are immune, at least to its most harmful effects.

“Why do people who have the vaccine need to now wear masks the same as people who have not had it?” That’s the question Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. Psaki’s response was telling, “Because the public health leaders in our administration have made the determination.” That response was not much different from a parent looking upon a questioning child with, “because I said so.” But there is one big difference, Americans aren’t children, we are rational adults with a responsibility to hold the government accountable. Why won’t the Biden administration give us a straight answer?

Apparently, because they don’t have one.  . . .

Here we go all over again.

The CDC has flipped and is once again recommending that people go back to wearing masks, even if fully vaccinated, in areas where the Delta variant is “surging” (which they are defining as most of the country). As my colleague Kate Paul Dillon wrote earlier, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky claimed data showed some vaccinated people could be infected with the Delta variant and spread it to others, but didn’t show her work as to that data.

Walensky was making the round on the shows and it was like a throwback to last year in what they were trying to sell us.

According to the AP, Dr. Walensky told “CBS This Morning” something that may sound awfully familiar.

“We can halt the chain of transmission,” she said. “We can do something if we unify together, if we get people vaccinated who are not yet vaccinated, if we mask in the interim, we can halt this in just a matter of a couple of weeks.”

Oh, my, suddenly, we’re back to “15 days to slow the spread” more than a year later. We were told that 16 months ago. How did that work out when we acceded to that before?  . . .

Getting the vaccine -- rammed down your throat

 

B.K. House at 100percentfedup has a chilling report:

In a statement during a White House press event, Jen Psaki claims that the “president has outlined 5- areas that his team is focused on to get more Americans vaccinated.”

The first “area” Ms. Psaki announced should alarm every American as they are planning a “targeted community by community, door to door outreach to get remaining Americans vaccinated by ensuring they have the information they need on how both safe and accessible the vaccine is.”

And by “information they need”, she means information that the left is trying to ram down the collective throat of all Americans. Anyone who is still clamoring for the left’s take on the vaccine most assuredly lives under a rock. The only information unavailable at this point are the true facts of the dangerous side effects that the left has censored and hidden in a jaw-dropping effort that would make Kim Jong Un proud.

On Twitter, one person wondered:

This means they must have a list of everyone who has been vaccinated so they know whose houses to go to?

A video of Jen Psaki’s press conference is at the link here.

In related news, at NOQ Report, Dr. Joseph Mercola tracks the censorship of one of the leading authorities on mRNA technology and research, one Dr. Robert Malone.

[Dr. Malone’s] Wikipedia, social media, videos, and podcasts are being systematically wiped from existence. He represents the anomaly in their plans to vaccinate everyone whether they want or need to be vaccinated or not, and that makes him dangerous.

Below, Dr. Joseph Mercola details some of the ways Dr. Malone has been erased so far. It’s ongoing; one is hard-pressed to find him anywhere online unless they’re getting their news from alternative outlets (like us) or they’re seeing his videos on Rumble. The Liberty Daily has three important videos of Dr. Malone stored for posterity and reference.
