  1. As a flight attendant I'm definitely still keeping my mask on for the foreseable future.

  2. While the World is flushing it's collective toilet into the country down South. Hilarious

  3. “I won’t fly with her. It doesn’t feel safe and it doesn’t feel fair” THEN STAY HOME

  4. Justice Department?? What Justice Department??

  5. Every single individual that voted for this regime should be ashamed

  6. If you want to wear a mask, where a mask. If you don't, don't. Live your life in fear if you want. I don't want to. There's no science to justify this

  7. Covid19 isn't gone, why are they making the same mistakes over and over?????

  8. Come on all you antimaskers! You can help the USA hit 990K COVID deaths this week (or maybe even today), and 1M by July 4th! So get on out there and express your patriotic independence by spreading your viral load unimpeded so this great nation can officially record 1 million COVID deaths by Independence Day 2022!

  9. Listen….
    TAKE OFF ALL YOUR MASKS USA……

    Send all unused masks to country's who care about fellow humans

    Then let's see how it works out for the USA……..
    The proof is in the putin

  10. more and more people losing confidence in the CDC – time to stop trying to fool the public and start reporting facts. masks are a personal choice, not a government decision.

  11. 1/10ths the deaths at least as compared to last year per cases

  12. I worked in surgery for over 7 years and everyone in the OR knows that the masks people are wearing don't protect individuals from getting the virus. That mask keeps your spit to yourself. Droplets from your mouth are caught, very little by the mask. The mask partially keeps you from getting others sick, if you are sick. But, so does standing 6 feet apart and staying at home. This is just a clandestine measure to control people, but also to allow people who travel and don't want to be identified by AI in airports to do so. That is far more serious than the COVID issue.

  13. "it doesn't feel safe and it doesn't feel fair"… You have what's called an irrational fear and you should seek professional help.

  14. You can still use a mask guys. it is that simple. use it , no big deal

  15. There are three things that need to happen with this appeal to be justifiable:

    1. The new ruling needs to explain why masks are needed for planes, when they are not mandated for cars, taxis, private buses, or ships.

    2. The ruling needs to explain why the CDC has never required masks to be rated to NIOSH standards for filtration and/or respiration despite that being the standard that OSHA sets.

    3. The ruling needs to explain what the end goal is here. Is the mask mandate dependent on the number of infection cases otherwise is this a new policy that will never end?

  16. They just want to continue that fear mongering. Been 2 years. Get over it. If you want to wear a face diaper, go ahead. If you don't & want to breathe fresh air, nobody has a right to deny you that. Power hungry government.

  17. Now I see why YouTube got rid of the dislike option.

  18. The Biden administration: “The pandemic has subsided, so we can now end Title 42 restrictions on immigration”. Also the Biden administration: “The pandemic has not subsided, so we must still require masks”. That says it all.

  19. It's nobody's responsibility to limit their own freedom so that you can feel safe. It's your OWN responsibility to keep yourself safe. If you don't feel safe STAY HOME. Nobody is forcing you to go out. You can order everything you need online. Leftists LIVE IN FEAR & LIVE FOR FEAR. They're truly cursed.

  20. NY Post article yesterday, masks don't help. Yes the post, the one that got the Hunter laptop story right 2 years before the others.
