So Much for "My Mask Protects You, Your Mask Protects Me"

They'll have to change this motto to read "My Mask Protects You, Your Masklessness Doesn't Protect Me."

A federal judge in Florida struck down on Monday the Biden administration’s mask mandate for airplanes and other public transport methods, and a Biden administration official says the order is no longer in effect while the ruling is reviewed.

US District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle said the mandate was unlawful because it exceeded the statutory authority of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and because its implementation violated administrative law. 

'Wearing a mask cleans nothing,' she wrote. 'At most, it traps virus droplets. But it neither ‘sanitizes’ the person wearing the mask nor ‘sanitizes’ the conveyance.”

Seeing airline passengers receive the pilot's announcement with cheers and applause just reinforced for me how selfish so many people have been during the pandemic.
