White House Coronavirus Czar: Decision on Federal Mask Mandate Will Be Based on ‘Evidence and Science’

“We’re going to see that framework come out, I think, in the next few days,” he continued.

“And based on that, we’re going to want to be guided by this decision. Throughout the entire pandemic, we’ve wanted to make decisions based on the evidence and science. And that is what I expect we’ll do again this week,” he claimed.

It remains entirely unclear how the decision to keep Americans masked up on federal transportation is based on science, as studies continue to show basic drugstore masks are not effective at blocking aerosols.

“Loosely woven cloth products provide the least protection, layered finely woven products offer more protection, well-fitting disposable surgical masks and KN95s offer even more protection, and well- fitting NIOSH-approved respirators (including N95s) offer the highest level of protection,” the CDC admitted.

Not to mention that Dr. Anthony Fauci, who once dismissed masks as a “paranoid” tool, admitted in an email at the start of the pandemic that drugstore masks are “not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through the material.”

 The debate over whether officials finally lift the federal mask mandate for transportation comes over a year after President Biden pitched “just” 100 days of masking for the American people.
