announced that he will force a Senate vote on repealing one of the federal government\u2019s most idiotic remaining COVID-19 mandates.<\/p>\n<p>The Kentucky Republican has gathered enough signatures from his colleagues to trigger a vote when the Senate returns to session on ending the federal government\u2019s travel mask mandates that currently require passengers to wear masks on airplanes and other forms of public transportation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince March 2020, unelected bureaucrats have incessantly declared that we should \u2018follow the science,\u2019\u201d Paul said in a statement. \u201cBut the same bureaucrats continue to defy science by imposing an ineffective and restrictive mask mandate for individuals travelling on public transit and airplanes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the entire world is learning to live with COVID, the federal government still uses fear mongering to stubbornly perpetuate its mandates, rather than giving clear-eyed, rational advice on how to best protect yourself from illness,\u201d the senator continued. \u201cThat is why I am forcing a vote to repeal travel mask mandates on public transportation and put a stop to this anti-science, nanny state requirement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul has introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paul.senate.gov\/news\/dr-rand-paul-introduces-legislation-repeal-mask-mandates-public-transportation-%C2%A0\" class=\"stylish-link\">legislation<\/a> in the past that would repeal the travel mandate.<\/p>\n<p>Republican congressman Thomas Massie has also co-sponsored this legislation, blasting the travel mask mandate as \u201ctyrannical and unscientific.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I am cosponsoring legislation that invokes the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to end the Center for Disease Control&#8217;s (CDC) tyrannical and unscientific mask mandate for planes, buses, and other forms of public transportation.

After all, airplanes actually have highly filtered air systems where very minimal COVID-19 spread can occur.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe statistics I recall is that <strong>99.97% of airborne pathogens are captured by the [high-efficiency particulate air] filtering system<\/strong>, and it\u2019s turned over every two or three minutes,\u201d Southwest CEO Gary Kelly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/politics\/southwest-ceo-masks-dont-add-much-if-anything-against-covid-19-on-planes\" class=\"stylish-link\">said<\/a> during Senate testimony.\u00a0\u201cI think <strong>the case is very strong that masks don\u2019t add much, if anything, in the air cabin environment<\/strong>. It\u2019s very safe, and very high quality compared to any other indoor setting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, the mask mandates do not differentiate between cloth masks, which are basically useless, and N-95 masks, which can offer wearers some degree of protection from COVID-19. So, the travel mask mandate was always more about \u201cdoing something\u201d and signaling political conformity than about \u201cfollowing the science.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s hoping that the efforts of Rand Paul, Thomas Massie, and company to terminate this idiotic federal policy are successful.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Like this article?
