Fauci complained the courts had no place interfering with the CDC\u2019s newfound role as a super-legislature run by unaccountable bureaucrats. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m both surprised and disappointed because those types of things really are the purview of the CDC. This is a public health issue,\u201d Fauci told CNN\u2019s Kasie Hunt. \u201cWe are concerned about that, about courts getting involved. \u2026 It should not have been a court issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>L.A.\u2019s reintroduction of a transit mask mandate comes the same day Philadelphia <a href=\"https:\/\/6abc.com\/philadelphia-mask-mandate-indoor-masking-face-covering-covid-19-philly\/11779719\/\">lifted<\/a> its short-lived, three-day revival of an indoor mask requirement as Americans go on living with the virus.<\/p>\n<p>Recurring restrictions, however, have likely become permanent fixtures of post-pandemic life in left-wing enclaves of the country that are addicted to the supposed virtue illustrated by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=il-5HVmmMXE&#038;t=61s\">useless mask-wearing<\/a>.
