Month: August 2021

A frequent traveler banned from flying because he medically can’t wear a face covering – and who has been stuck here at his mother’s for three months while he litigates the case in federal court in Orlando – asked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis today why he isn’t challenging the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate. The federal order commandeers state transit officials and police officers to enforce masks on public buses, school buses, trains, rideshare cars, and other modes in violation of DeSantis’ executive order prohibiting mask mandates.

DeSantis is scheduled to appear Wednesday with First Lady Casey DeSantis for a town hall at the Brownwood Hotel & Spa here in The Villages, where Lucas Wall, 44, of Washington, D.C., has been stranded because of the FTMM. Wall submitted a question this morning to DeSantis for tomorrow’s town event to inquire why the Florida governor – who has banned state and local governments as well as school districts from imposing mandatory maskwearing – has never challenged President Joseph Biden on his requirement that all travelers cover their face while using any form of public transportation.

Seven airlines sued for illegally discriminating against passengers who can’t wear face masks filed arguments today in U.S. District Court not denying their actions banning disabled travelers from flying but relying on legal technicalities to avoid liability.

Southwest Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Allegiant Air, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue Airways, and Spirit Airlines all filed motions today to dismiss the lawsuit filed by Lucas Wall, 44, of Washington, D.C., who was unable to use tickets this summer he bought to fly on the carriers because of their onerous and illegal mask-exemption requirements.

Lucas Wall, plaintiff in the lawsuit Wall v. CDC seeking to strike down the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate and International Traveler Testing Requirement, appeared on Ohio-based WWGH radio’s “Mid-Morning Coffee Break” show this morning to talk about his legal filing last week opposing the government’s efforts to dismiss the case.

Wall and host Adam Lepp also discussed a new webpage with links to 114 scientific studies and medical articles showing masks are ineffective in reducing COVID-19 spread and actually harm human health.

Don’t buy into the propaganda issued by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, state and county health departments, and fearmongering medical “experts” that masks are effective in reducing the transmission of COVID-19. The truth is that face coverings do nothing to stop coronavirus spread and are harmful to our health.

I am the plaintiff in Wall v. CDC, the first lawsuit in the nation to challenge all aspects of the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate. I’ve spent a couple months researching scientific studies and medical articles concerning the effectiveness of masks for preventing virus spread and the negative health effects of muzzling yourself. The scientific consensus from researchers and medical professionals around the world is overwhelming: Masks don’t stop COVID-19 and they harm our health in dozens of different ways.

The Biden Administration’s decision to extend the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate from Sept. 13 to Jan. 18 continues its pattern of flouting the Constitution, laws, and regulations when it comes to pandemic orders not authorized by Congress. Today’s decision is a terrible insult to the tens of millions of Americans such as myself who can’t medically tolerate wearing masks and therefore have been banned from using any form of public transportation in America.

Thankfully there are four lawsuits in federal courts seeking to strike down the FTMM as an abuse of executive power. Given the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention’s defeats in every pandemic case so far dealing with its illegal Eviction Moratorium and onerous rules for resuming cruises, I am confident my challenge to the mask mandate will prevail. It will take court action to ensure Americans will no longer have to give up their right to breathe freely as a condition of utilizing any mode of public transportation.

Lucas Wall, plaintiff in the lawsuit Wall v. CDC seeking to strike down the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate and International Traveler Testing Requirement, appeared this afternoon on Florida-based Blog Talk Radio’s “The Mike Essen Show”with guest host Joe Goldner and guest Adam Lepp to talk about the why masks are harmful to health and should never be mandated.

The “No Masks, No Mandates of Any Kind” episode featured discussion of Wall’s case against CDC, President Biden, and six other government agencies against the FTMM, which has been in effect since Feb. 1. The three also talked about how insane it is for any school district to require that children be muzzled as classes begin soon for the new school year. Numerous scientific studies were mentioned showing masks don’t stop transmission of coronavirus and are dangerous to human health – especially children’s well-being.
