A federal judge in Florida ruled that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s mask mandate for public transportation was an overstep of authority. Former President Donald Trump appointee U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle of Tampa, Florida, determined that the CDC had violated administrative law by failing to give adequate reasoning for the mandate and not allowing public input which is required when issuing new laws. “The Mask Mandate is best understood not as sanitation, but as an exercise of the CDC’s power to conditionally release individuals to travel despite concerns th...

An increase in the number of counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl on the illegal drug market has resulted in a greater risk for exposure and a spike in accidental overdoses. “Seizures of drugs containing fentanyl have been increasing in the U.S.,” read a conclusion of a study conducted by the National Institute of Drug Abuse that was published on Thursday. “Given that over a quarter of fentanyl seizures are now in pill form, people who obtain counterfeit pills such as those disguised as oxycodone or alprazolam are at risk for unintentional exposure to fentanyl.” Counterfeit pills, which are m...

She added that the CDC is working to add updated information to their...
