US Judge overturns mask mandate on public transport

Travellers in the United States will not be required to wear masks on airplanes or other public transport effective immediately

United States District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle overturned the Biden administration’s mask mandate on public transport saying it is unlawful and oversteps their authority.

The Biden administration mandated masks for all forms of transport with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention wanting to extend the mandate until May 3.

However, Mizelle says the CDC had failed in justifying the mandate and following the rule-making procedure.

White House press secretary, Jen Spaki says while the ruling is disappointing, the CDC is still “recommending wearing a mask on public transit” as a precautionary measure.

The ruling comes after a lawsuit was filed last year by a group called Health Freedom Defense Fund. They challenged the vaccine and mask mandates on state and federal levels.

Mizelle says it would be impossible to scrape the mandate for a limited number of people who objected.

“A limited remedy would be no remedy at all,” she says.

The judge also says that the courts have full authority to make such decisions even against the laudable efforts of the CDC.

Calls are growing louder from many lawmakers and national security hawks to ban TikTok, over fears the app could censure content, influence users, and give Americans’ personal data to Beijing.

But the Chinese tech company, ByteDance—which owns TikTok— denies the allegations.
