Anthony Fauci now says American travelers should expect masks forever on commercial air travel. Apparently getting triple vaxxed – or even a fourth jab (discussions are already underway) – is not enough. So when it comes to masks and air travel, Fauci is clearly signaling there will be no end.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director, who has come to be hailed as a national hero by Liberals who simplistically like to repeat the mantra “trust the science” told ABC’s This Week in a recent interview that removing masks on an airplane is “not something we should even be considering.”

Dr. Fauci was responding to a question from show host Jonathan Karl who asked whether there should be a vaccine mandate in place for all domestic air travel.
“We want to make sure people keep their masks on. I think the idea of taking masks off, in my mind, is really not something we should even be considering,” Fauci said.
That’s when Karl responded: “And of course, the airline CEOs were suggesting that — you know, that we may not — may no longer need a mask. I hear you loud and clearly, you disagree with that on an — on the airplane.” The ABC anchor was referencing the following:
During a U.S. Senate panel hearing on Dec. 15, Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly said that masks “don’t add much, if anything” to fight the spread of COVID-19 on airplanes.
As to the original question, Fauci suggested that a vaccine mandate for air travel is something that should be looked at and considered:
“A vaccine requirement for a person getting on the plane is just another level of getting people to have a mechanism that would spur them to get vaccinated; namely, you can’t get on a plane unless you’re vaccinated, which is just another one of the ways of getting requirements, whatever that might be,” Fauci said.
Interestingly, he doesn’t actually directly address that the vaccine would actually prevent infection if there’s contact with a Covid-19 positive person in an airport on an aircraft; instead, he touts the possibility as but another “mechanism” that would “spur” people to get vaccinated.
Or to translate: Fauci wants to use the removal of individual freedoms to put people in a position to have to “accept” the mandate before getting their prior freedoms back.

In the segment Fauci had also followed up with, “So I mean, anything that could get people more vaccinated would be welcome. But with regard to the spread of virus in the country, I mean, I think if you look at wearing a mask and the filtration on planes, things are reasonably safe,” he added, again emphasizing that he sees mask-wearing aboard flights as fundamentally a tool of coercion, and not a matter of “safety” per se.
Fauci’s recent comments went viral online, at a moment thousands of Christmas holiday flights were canceled across the nation as the Omicron variant took many airline crews out of commission, resulting in miserable holidays for people stranded at the airport. Given that flight crews are likely mostly vaccinated, it’s also most likely that many of the attendants that called in sick were already fully vaccinated, with the jab doing little to actually prevent infection, which is what a vaccine is supposed to do by definition.

Meanwhile, it’s likely that more individuals will take it upon themselves to be fanatical mask mandate enforcers aboard flights. This happened just ahead of the holiday weekend on a flight from Tampa to Atlanta, after which the deranged woman below was taken into FBI custody…

As most on this type of site can see the NWO has infiltrated many of the worlds top level positions of power and are in control of keeping these false scamdemics going, THAT should be enough to have made even the sheeple to take note, but evidently the brainwashing has been effective enough that many just are not ever going to see what is happening to us.
These people in charge must be eliminated or we ALL face imminent death. it is US or them at this point, if they are not permanently removed they will come back.
No modest person has used public landing strips, since gate rapists became a condition of federal bailouts; your customer base has willfully submitted to acts of rape as a condition to travel.
I suspect that I am one of the last few people who dressed-up, politely, like for Sunday school, to use the airplane.
My grandfather trained his replacements at Boeing and brought hepatitis home to his family.
What if flying was a privilege and not a right.
Fauci had also followed up with, “… I think if you look at wearing a mask and the filtration on planes,” the mask is not typically rated for viruses, unlike better air filtration, used to recirculate the air. Why do you have a fake job.
D’oh… sudden onset Fauci fatigue….
The Fauci-edicts have already reduced travel market share dollars from the airline businesses. Better use those airline-legal-teams to save what is left.
