More than 20 states sue CDC over federal mask mandate on public transportation
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — 20 states are joining the state of Florida in a lawsuit against the federal mask mandate on public transportation.
Attorney General Ashley Moody and Governor Ron DeSantis announced the lawsuit on Tuesday.
In a press release, Moody’s office called the mandate “unlawful” and said it “exceeds the authority of President Biden’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
The other states included in the suit are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia.
In several instances, the lawsuit calls the mask mandate “arbitrary and capricious.”
Florida leaders claim there is no “high-quality data to support the efficacy of mask mandates, case numbers and hospitalizations experiencing a large downward trend, and 81.7% of the population having received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.”
The lawsuit doesn’t just call for an end to the mandate and a permanent injunction against enforcement, it also calls for the defendants to pay for attorney fees and other costs.

Why do CPAP machines need to be washed every day? Much more so can masks, improperly used, serve as collectors of pathogens.
Some people, mostly democrats may not agree with me but I’ve never worn a mask anywhere except for drs office and airplanes. Since the beginning the real science support mask wearing. I believe the mask mandates arent about health. Its a sign of submission, Censorship of speech and control of the people. This Tyranny has gone on for far too long. The children especially toddlers are going to be damaged psychology because they cant see facial expressions. China wears masks but they have more reason to because of the pollution particles are larger than any virus and breathing those in can be dangerous to health. But for Americans that’s not case. They just look like their being controlled but wearing them out of propaganda fear by mockingbird media. I also wish masks weren’t required at the drs office either because I feel the communication isnt good. The masks hide a lot unless your crying.
So I hope these bills pass fast to get rid of them and for the Emergencies Act to be pulled and Stopped. It isnt needed at all anymore. But my comments are my opinion but i highly doubt I’m alone.
