CDC sued over mask mandates

 The Hill:

More than 20 states filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against the federal mask mandate on transportation, which has been extended until April 18, saying it violated the Constitution and violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).

The 21 states claim that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had not allowed for public comment for more than a year since the federal transportation mask mandate was first issued.

They also claimed that they were negatively impacted by the mask mandate because it required states to “expend resources to enforce the mandate” and harmed states’ “sovereign interests” because many states “have laws or policies prohibiting or discouraging mask requirements in contexts where the mask mandate applies,” according to court filings.

...

There is also growing evidence of the lack of efficacy of the masks, to begin with.  There is some evidence that there is no material difference in the spread of the virus where there are mask requirements and areas where they are not required.
