CDC says fully vaccinated people don’t need to wear face masks indoors or outdoors in most settings

Apologies if this was posted already. I was kind of surprised that I couldn't find it. Anyway:

Looks like states can now point to some guidelines to justify opening up for vaccinated folks. I'm certainly excited to keep my mask in my pocket going forward (assuming the shops around me take down their mask requirements). Is anyone who was on the fence about the vaccine going to get it now that the CDC is giving the okay to get back to normal?

 

Remember what Democrats have said. You don't need a vaccine, a mask will protect you better.... or was that just another lie to get you to wear mask?

 

Wow. You got duped. Can you link a source to support your statememt so I can show you how they fooled you?

 

"MOST Settings" being the Operative Phrase.

The requirement to wear masks during travel -- on buses, trains, planes and public transportation -- still stands, Walensky said. Guidance for travel will be updated as science emerges.
She also said that "the past year has shown us that this virus can be unpredictable, so if things get worse, there is always a chance we may need to make a change to these recommendations."
People who develop Covid-19 symptoms, even those who are vaccinated, should put their mask back on and get tested, Walensky said.

 

If being fully vaccinated is the deal then why does President Biden have to wear two masks to visit his sister's old folks home in New Jersey? Explain that one to me.

 

Where did you hear that?

The Bigfoot/Conspiracy Room on the Dark Web?

Do you have a Verifiable (Well-Sourced) Link?
I'll wait.

 

You can't show one Democrat that said that.

 

Exactly.

Sounds like just another one of those misguided thread bombs that gets dropped (with no verification) and the person who dropped it just flees the thread (when called out).

Common (and predictable) tactic from the Trump Crowd.

 

Well I for one am willing to help him by showing how he got duped by fake news. I am just waiting for the link.

 

I am right with you, Indlib.

I would love to see the link to that "claim".

 

Here it is folks, the DNC's 2022 strategy.

• Only 28% of the people in America are considered fully vaccinated.
  
• The vaccines aren't fully effective in all cases, diminishing widely from averages along certain factors such as age and overall health condition.
  
• The vaccines are unproven against a number of mutations including the India variants which have now been found in the UK and is probably already here in the US as well.
• The vaccines have not been proven to prevent the spread of COVID from a vaccinated person to others.

So why, in the holy **** of all ****ing mother ****s, has the CDC just told people to cast off their masks? It makes no scientific sense, it makes no medical sense, it makes no sense of any kind... EXCEPT political strategic sense. Because this move leaves a mountain of unknowns on the table but the one thing it surely does is robs us of our best front line defense against a resurgence. And so herein we arrive at our point. The Democratic Party, suffering massive policy losses both home and abroad, is facing a sizeable midterm defeat because every single item on its agenda is failing categorically and catastrophically except for one: its COVID approach. No other policy from the Dem Congress nor the Biden White House has achieved the approval ratings that their COVID actions have, not even close.

Therefore, knowing that Dems can win on the COVID ticket, and knowing that a maskless America is all the more likely to descend back into dark days, I unofficially present to you the DNC's 2022 strategy. Go forth and make it happen. Cast off your mask, spread sickness, bring on death, and help the DNC take that very very very small step towards absolute (and thereby permanent) control of Congress.

 

As long as it leads to Democratic Victory, I don't see the problem.

Sadly, that "strategy" (that you refer to) has ZERO chance of actually happening.

In fact, it is so unrealistic, it doesn't even pass muster as misguided hyperbole.

Anyway, the worst thing happening in regards to a "return to normalcy" is the amount of people refusing the vaccination.

 

This news is going to send the school teacher's unions into a full blown panic.

 

Well they have ever right and reason to be, Steve, any worker stuck inside all day subject to the hygiene of others does. They just happen to have the power to do something about it.

 

Courtesy.

 

The teachers I know, which includes my wife and her coworkers, are excited to not have to mask up anymore. And they're excited for the kids to be vaccinated and no one need to wear masks next year.

 

Lol who said that???

 

Just remember to carry your vaccination card with you. I surely hope this is due to real science and not something to dupe people to get vaccinated because this could blow up in the CDC's face.

 

What part of “if youre fully vaccinated” didn’t you understand?

 

What part of the bigger picture don't you understand because I'm honestly more than happy to expand on this in any of its multiple facets.

 

You know it’s almost summer right?

Some clown who got made head of the CDC.

Yeah, I agree. I actually think that might be factoring in a little because Fauci said vaccinated people deserved to get back to regular life. But the CDC did cite three studies in their decision, so I don't think motivating folks to get the stick is the main reason or leading then to be careless.

 

.

So, are businesses going to stop their mask requirements ??

Is everyone on the honor system or what ??
