CDC: Why Mask? Don’t Ask
The CDC’s latest decision “is just going to create more vaccine hesitancy. It’s going to backfire.”
On Tuesday, new CDC guidance
directed vaccinated persons to wear masks indoors over most of the country, and
urged everyone in K-12 schools to wear masks in the fall. The guidance reversed
the rules the CDC issued earlier this year, which recognized that people
vaccinated against COVID-19 do not need to wear masks because they are immune,
at least to its most harmful effects.
“Why do people who have the vaccine
need to now wear masks the same as people who have not had it?” That’s the
question Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.
Psaki’s response was telling, “Because the public health leaders in our
administration have made the determination.” That response was not much
different from a parent looking upon a questioning child with, “because I said
so.” But there is one big difference, Americans aren’t children, we are
rational adults with a responsibility to hold the government accountable. Why
won’t the Biden administration give us a straight answer?
Apparently, because they don’t have
one. . . .

Here we go all over again.
The CDC has flipped and is once again recommending that people go back to wearing
masks, even if fully vaccinated, in areas where the Delta variant is “surging”
(which they are defining as most of the country). As my colleague Kate Paul
Dillon wrote earlier, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky claimed data
showed some vaccinated people could be infected with the Delta variant and
spread it to others, but didn’t show her work as to that data.
Walensky was making the round on
the shows and it was like a throwback to last year in what they were trying to
sell us.
According to the AP, Dr. Walensky told “CBS This Morning”
something that may sound awfully familiar.
“We can halt the chain of
transmission,” she said. “We can do something if we unify together, if we get
people vaccinated who are not yet vaccinated, if we mask in the interim, we can
halt this in just a matter of a couple of weeks.”
Oh, my, suddenly, we’re back to “15
days to slow the spread” more than a year later. We were told that 16 months
ago. How did that work out when we acceded to that before? . . .
