In an exciting new development...

With the pandemic officially over (so there's no reason to worry about any diseases carried by anyone illegally crossing any borders), the CDC is pushing the Administration to appeal the masks-on-airplanes ruling, because the pandemic is not over.

Okaaaaay, then.

Can we officially call anything aviation-related coming out of the CDC the Flying Walensky Circus?

Just to be clear, they haven't banned the use of masks on airplanes have they?

In oldspeak, no.
In collectivist doublethink, yes, because everything must be either compulsory or forbidden. Lack of a mandate constitutes a prohibition. Also, free speech requires censorship and freedom is slavery.
