Biden administration to reinstate COVID mandates, says report
The Biden administration is planning to reinstate COVID-19 restrictions beginning with mask mandates, a high-ranking Transportation Security Administration (TSA) official reportedly told Infowars.
According to the official, TSA managers were told in a Tuesday meeting that mask mandates will be imposed on TSA officers and airport employees beginning in mid-September. Restrictions will escalate so that by mid-October, pilots, flight crews and passengers will also be required to wear masks.
Infowars reports confirming this news with a Border Patrol manager who said it is not a matter of “if” but “when" COVID-19 numbers will increase.
Mainstream media have already begun reporting on a new COVID variant, termed “Eris” which the World Health Organization (WHO) has designated a “variant of interest." In April, a federal judge in Florida declared the Biden administration’s mask mandate for travel unlawful.
“Because our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully even in pursuit of desirable ends, the court declares unlawful and vacates the mask mandate,” ruled US District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle.
Despite overwhelming scientific evidence showing face masks are ineffective at best, the Biden administration has never fully abandoned mask mandates and COVID restrictions in general.
Last month, the White House barred several Israeli delegates from participating in meetings after they tested positive for COVID-19. According to Israeli media, the incident “raised a panic” and all journalists were told to don masks.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre explained in a press briefing that the White House still requires testing for COVID-19 before meeting with Biden.
“So, as you know, we have testing protocols when — anytime somebody meets with the President. So I can tell you that anybody who meets with the President does indeed get tested. I do. We all do,” she told reporters.
In June the administration sent an email notifying lawmakers who were invited to the White House on College Athlete Day that those who are unvaccinated will be required to wear masks and practice physical distancing.
"Masking Guidance: Fully vaccinated guests are not required to wear a mask on the White House grounds," the email said. "Guests who are not fully vaccinated must wear a mask at all times and maintain at least 6 feet distance from others while on the White House grounds."
The White House later said the email was sent “inadvertently” but no follow-up email rescinding it was reported.
In January, the White House announced it would enforce the same measures ahead of a reception for freshmen congressmen. Every attendee was forced to complete an “Attestation of Vaccination” prior to the event. The form asked whether the attendee was unvaccinated, partially vaccinated or fully vaccinated. Those not fully vaccinated or who refused to disclose their vaccination status were subjected to forced mask-wearing, and all members had to submit a negative COVID-19 test 24 hours in advance.
When New York Post reporter Steven Nelson asked Jean-Pierre about Biden’s “arbitrary and unscientific” rules, the press secretary responded, “COVID isn’t over.”
“We have protections in place to protect staff and the President of the United States. COVID isn’t over. We’ve been very clear about that. Hundreds of Americans are dying every day, and cases are increasing right now, today.”
