BREAKING: Federal judge strikes down mask mandates for public transportation

Yeah, fear based. Remember, it won't be long before the Dems make everyone socialist, take away your guns, make you use a women's restroom, etc.

Nah you're the idiot.

Youre facts are wrong. 1 million people did not die exclusively because of covid.

Of course not.

94% had at least two other life threatening health issues.

Don't people look around their own lives? Do they just believe what the establishment tells them?

1) pissy and rude gets nowhere with me

2) nothing in this rant addressed my point. If you are over 80, immunocompromised, or however else at risk, just stay off the plane.

There are many reasons eligible people are not vaccinated or boosted. Surveys have indicated that some people are adamant in their refusal of the coronavirus vaccines, while others are open to getting a shot but have been putting it off or want to wait and see before making a decision for themselves or for their children.
The first group, surveys have shown, tends to be disproportionately white, rural, evangelical Christian and Republican. The second group tends to be a more diverse and urban group, including many younger people, Black and Latino residents, and Democrats.

Speed hasn’t been the only priority for the country’s vaccination campaign. The Biden administration has also committed to distributing shots equitably to the communities most affected by the pandemic.
Over a year into the rollout, the most socially vulnerable counties in the U.S. have a lower vaccination rate on average than the nation’s least vulnerable. A majority of the most disadvantaged counties with the fewest fully vaccinated people are in the South, while the most vaccinated, least vulnerable counties are in the Midwest and the Northeast.

Update on my previous post:

The nationwide injunction issue isn't actually raised in this case because it was brought under the APA. The statutory remedy when an agency exceeds its authority is that the court vacates the agency's rule. (There's also the somewhat controversial practice of "remand without vacatur," but that's pretty rare.) That means that the effect is necessarily nationwide.

This is different from what a court does when it "strikes down" a law passed by Congress. In the popular imagination, courts tell Congress to basically delete an unconstitutional law from the U.S. Code, but what's actually happening is that the court is simply adjudicating a dispute. If the court determines that a law that, on its face, seems to apply to the dispute is actually unconstitutional, then the court adjudicates the dispute without relying on the unconstitutional law. But courts don't have any supervisory authority to tell Congress to get rid of its bad laws. And Congress is almost never a party to lawsuits involving the constitutionality of statutes anyway, unless it's participating as an amicus. By contrast, when challenging an allegedly illegal agency regulation, the agency is usually the adverse party, and if you win, the law actually commands the court to "set aside" the agency's unlawful rule.

The court's opinion is worth a read. Regardless of whether you agree with it (personally, I think it's a close call), it's carefully reasoned and covers a lot of interesting issues. This is not some shoot-from-the-hip senior judge who's just gonna do whatever he wants to do.

After 2 years, I see someone still doesn't have a clue how Covid19 is spread or how highly contagious it is. 37K positive cases yesterday in America. I hope your dumb ass is vaccinated.....if not, good luck. 988K dead

This here is exactly why America led the world in cases, hospitalizations and deaths. Complete idiot, with idiotic comments who believes Covid19 is a bad cold.

Shouldn’t we be concerned with current hospitalizations and deaths? Why should we care about infection numbers if people aren’t dying?

I'm a triple jabbed lefty and there's no way I'm masking up on a plane if I don't have to.

Masks are yet another issue that will deal the Left a resounding defeat in November. Not surprising though, given that leftists - like many on these boards - have no idea what they're talking about.

Exhibit A:

Open image

41% of Democrats believed that HALF of all covid infections led to hospitalization!! lol talk about paranoid and delusional, no wonder these lemmings love their face diapers. The real answer is, of course, 1-5%. Simply put, the left is brainwashed.

Not to mention petty authoritarians.

Exhibit B: "Nearly half (48%) of Democratic voters think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications."

COVID-19: Democratic Voters Support Harsh Measures Against Unvaccinated

Rasmussen_Poll

While many voters have become skeptical toward the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a majority of Democrats embrace restrictive policies, including punitive measures against those who haven’t gotten the...

As we now know, many of the "conspiracy theorists" who Democrats condemned were proven right. Right about multiple shots, waning efficacy, safety concerns, boosters, mandates, the whole nine yards.

Conclusion: The Left is mentally ill.

Watching Ukraine being leveled and all those poor people being slaughtered by monsters, and here we are worried about................masks......hahahaha!!!!

Anyone worried about wearing a mask has a problem, it ain't no big deal at all.

I'm anti-war libertarian leaning lefty -- what are insipid authoritarian anti-science #ToddlerMasking #VaxMandate Dems worried about?

Aren't so many "Trumpers" dead from "misinformation" that holding Congress in November isn't the question, it's how much they increase their majorities?

#Mask4Ukraine #TransWomenRWomen (even if they are mostly white men hah hah)

Victory for common sense! Hurray!
