The decision by a federal judge in Florida to block the Biden administration's mask requirement on planes and public transit was 'disturbing,' Dr. Anthony Fauci told CBS News on Thursday.

More than 9 in 10 new infections in the current wave are from the BA.2 subvariant, the CDCthis week. Hospitalizations are also accelerating around the country, though far short of the record surge seen during the winter wave.

Fauci said he had urged the president to follow the CDC's recommendations, and for now the agency has continued to urge all travelers to wear masks. Fauci said he personally planned to don a highly-protective N95 mask when flying. Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images Asked about President Biden recently saying that masking while flying was"up to them," White House principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Thursday that the president backed the CDC's guidance.

He and President Biden still have a"very, very good relationship," Fauci said, one that existed"long before he was president of the United States." Some Republicans on Capitol Hill have renewed their criticism of Fauci ahead of the looming midterm elections.

FEARci is disturbing. He wants CDC and his lifetime democratic political bureaucratic hacks to make these decisions. It's not about the data it's all about control & political theater!

Trump is still causing damage.

Nobody cares what he says -why waste print space

Probably. This is the era of stupidity. Don’t you just love the 21st century.

No one listens to him anymore

What can be used is the facts found on Hunter Biden's laptop that show his deals with Ukrainian corruption, Russian and Chinese Interests and of the 10% for the Big Guy = Joe Biden. The Biden Crime Family

Congratulations to the judge 👏
