Biden Administration still pushing for forced masking

The Biden Administration recently reinforced its commitment to retaining authority to impose endless COVID mandates on the American people.

In April 2022, a federal judge in Florida ruled that the CDC had overstepped its authority by requiring airlines to mandate masks on domestic flights.

Essentially every company almost immediately moved to make masks optional. Many even allowed passengers, in flight, to remove their masks, to mass celebrations. It was also a dramatic win for science, as years of data have proven that masks are entirely ineffective at preventing the spread of COVID.

The unfortunate trend of in-flight arguments and fights also dropped dramatically after the court overturned the mandate.

In February 2022, the rate of unruly passenger incidents on domestic flights was 6.4 per 10,000 travellers. Following the end of the mandate, that number dropped to 1.7 per 10,000. So, not only do masks not work, they actually likely cause significant, potentially dangerous disagreements.

Experts warned that it would lead to a surge in flight cancellations within a few weeks. Naturally, cancellation data showed that the exact opposite situation unfolded.

Additionally, in the nearly nine months since the policy ended, cases in the US have remained low.

But none of that’s stopped the Biden administration from appealing the ruling.

While this might not necessarily mean the immediate return of mandates on planes, it would allow the CDC to retain that authority.
