That right-wing-nut rag the NYTimes. BTW, the best way to avoid dying in a car accident is not to wear a seat belt or have a car with an airbag but to avoid getting in a car. Same for riding bikes and motorcycles.

The C.D.C. concedes that cloth masks do not protect against the virus as effectively as other masks. (Published 2022)

The update in guidance comes as coronavirus cases continue to soar.

The change comes as infections with the highly contagious Omicron variant continue to soar. Some experts have said that cloth masks are inadequate to protect from the variant, and have urged the C.D.C. to recommend respirators for ordinary citizens.

The agency did not go that far. Its updated language now says that “a respirator may be considered in certain situations and by certain people when greater protection is needed or desired.”

Just “cloth masks”? How about N95 masks?

Nervous about flying? Here’s why a mask will still help protect you even if others aren’t wearing one. (Published 2022)

There is plenty of evidence showing that masks protect the wearer, even when others around them are mask-free.

I was in Whole Foods in Palo Alto today. There was a decent crowd and I estimate at least 75% of the customers were wearing masks. It's the first place in my experience where more customers were wearing masks than employees (less than 50%).
 
More questions for the gang

If people who got vaccinated and boosted believe the vaccines work - why are they constantly worried about the unvaccinated?

If people who wear masks believe they work - why are they constantly worried about others not wearing masks?

The TRUTH is quite a reality check.
Especially when the LIES were your only support.

If anything the judge is saying if you want to make these rules it has to be passed through congress. An agency simply does not have the power to make these broad decisions.

Judge is saying do it the right way if you want a mask mandate on public transportation. That means going through the house, the senate and then having the prez sign it into law.

In this particular case, there was a law passed. It explicitly gave CDC director the power to make policy to "provide for such inspection, fumigation, disinfection, sanitation, pest extermination, destruction of animals or articles found to be so infected or contaminated as to be sources of dangerous infection to human beings, and other measures, as in his judgment may be necessary."

The law explicitly defers to the judgement of the CDC director to determine what is and what is not necessary. The law does not authorize a judge to substitute her views for those of the CDC director.

This is a clear case of an activist judge. She had a law in front of her. The law clearly defers to the judgement of the CDC director. And the judge does whatever she wants anyway.

Same problem as Row v Wade. A judge or justice reads the law, but doesn’t like what it says. So the judge invents things that aren’t in the law to get the result they want.

Sometimes I agree with the judge’s policy decision, sometimes I don’t. But in no case do I like this process. There is a reason we do not have lifetime appointments for policy-making positions. When judges start making policy, that’s exactly what we have.

The judge in question was rated "non-qualified" by the ABA due to her complete lack of courtroom experience when t nominated her after he lost the election in November 2020. Moscow Mitch still controlled the Senate then, so she sailed through without a single Democrat voting for her confirmation.

Actually the judge cited a case regarding the CDC and this issue where the SC said they did not have blanket authority. So not an activist judge. She used an opinion regarding the CDC issue by the SC. That was in Aug of 2021. And that opinion stated the CDC cannot act in certain ways.

There are a variety of legal issues that have come before the SC where they rules agencies did not/do not have blanket power.

The press likes to leave that out.

The ABA long ago stopped being a neutral party. They today are mainly a leftist organization.

In her opinion, she said about masks "At most, it traps virus droplets".

That is exactly their function.
