White House COVID-19 adviser Anthony Fauci criticized a federal judge’s ruling that rescinded the federal government’s mask mandate for travel and claimed that judges “with no experience in public health” shouldn’t make such decisions.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “has the capability, through a large number of trained epidemiologists, scientists, to be able to make projections and make recommendations. Far more than a judge with no experience in public health,” Fauci told CBS News on Thursday. He also said that the ruling could set a “dangerous precedent,” without elaborating.
