If I were flying today I wouldn't wear a mask. I would explain to the flight and ground crew that the federal mandate has been voided by a federal judge as it exceeded the statutory authority of the CDC. Unless the specific airline has its own mandate, I will fly mask-free within compliance of the law.

Voided means no longer exists and also should mean effective immediately as most court decisions are. Actually airlines have been lobbying for the mandate to end since mid March and been pushing the white house and the CDC so no airline will have voluntary mask mandate as that would be a killer for their business. Also, many people (especially those with special needs or with toddlers) have been avoiding air travel because of that. One size does not fit all.

I’m with you on that FSM.

Just to add,
if an airline has its own rules about masking up that is fine with me as long as it is not sprung on you in the last minute which to me would be considered “bait and switch”.

If they publicly post their policies they can insist on an odd dress code for all I care as long as there are other options (companies) to purchase from.

Still not 90% of the population.

However, you are not counted as a COVID-19 death if you die with no symptoms of COVID-19.

If the CDC and others are keeping us alive why did nearly a million people die?
The only thing Fauci was doing and is doing is padding his wallet.
Poor compliance with mitigation measures.

How is Fauci "padding his wallet"?

Not sure what else they have, but I've heard about a penthouse in Bellevue and that they are looking to buy the first yacht this summer. Drop in the bucket.

I bought my kid a $400 chain and the friend pulls out a $4k David Yurman chain from under their shirt.

I'm telling you this because whoever this individual is they really far up there (where ever that may be), making serious coin that none of us can comprehend.


Anyway. I've heard from the horse's mouth what they think of Covid and the vaccines. I won't say everything, but I do know they are not vaccinated. Also says Covid is NOT going away anytime soon. I don't know if they benefit from Covid being around or not. Judging by their budget allowances though, I would say it's not hurting them.

So I can listen in on a hospital system zoom call or I can talk to someone, off the record, that has substantial financial interest in a hospital system.
This is the kind of third hand information that gets misinformation spread far and wide. They may be wealthy. That does not mean they understand infectious diseases.

This is before Omicron. Omicron wave had about 140 million people infected (estimates) and BA2 will get the ones who haven't been infected.

By having an invested interest in the drug companies that produce the vaccines.
Like stocks and kick backs to promote their vaccine. And the Covid vaccine is not the only drug he has promoted in the past for profit.

Read 'The Real Anthony Fauci' by Robert F Kennedy Jr who is a democrat.

His book is on the NYT bestsellers list for a reason.
Many people died with covid not because of covid.
