Doctor Anthony Fauci AKA High Priest of Branch Covidians gave some grim, predictable information on Sunday about the length of time Americans will be required to wear facial masks when flying. This is supposedly in order to stem the spread the COVID-19 pandemic. Given that he doesn’t suggest it, his remarks are likely to provoke strong reaction.
During an appearance on ABC News’ “This Week”Jonathan Karl was Fauci’s host and asked him about statements made by top airline CEOs indicating that passengers are more safe in an aircraft than they are in an ICU due to the filtration system. Fauci was asked by Jonathan Karl if it would be possible to fly without wearing masks.
“I don’t think so,” Fauci replied. “I think when you’re dealing with a close space, even though the filtration is good, that you want to go that extra step.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention currently mandates that masks be worn on airplanes and at all airports. President Joe Biden recently used the outbreak of the Omicron variant – which has proven to be far less deadly so far – as an excuse to extend the mask mandate into March 2022.
During testimony before the Senate commerce committee on Wednesday, Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly said “the case is very strong that masks don’t add much, if anything, in the air cabin environment” and that flying “is very safe and high-quality compared to any other indoor setting.”
America Airlines CEO Doug Parker agreed, stating that an airplane “is the safest place you can be. It’s true of all of our aircraft – they all have the same HEPA filters and air flow.”
Fauci’s comments seem designed to help the White House in its effort to exploit the emergence of the Omicron variant, which is highly transmissible. This variant, however, is not nearly as dangerous as the Delta variant, according to the information that has been made public.
Can anyone truly be surprised at Fauci’s declaration?
It is exactly what people like him want since the beginning. Hard left saw the outbreak of pandemics as an opportunity to grow the power and reach at both the local and federal levels. It is absurd to think that airplane mask mandates must be made permanent.
If the government attempt to do what Fauci is suggesting, it’s not going to fly (pun intended) with American voters. When more people find out that the science does not back the idea that masks on airplanes make people safer, they won’t be too keen on the idea – especially those who travel frequently.
Some people who are more tolerant to restrictions due to pandemics will lose their patience. This will eventually lead to the point where only true believers will support government intrusion. This will hopefully happen sooner than expected.
