… In addition, the agency is expecting to recommend that masks be worn
indoors in “areas with high or substantial” COVID-19 transmission, which
constitutes over half the country. As of now, 46% of U.S. counties have
“high transmission” and 17% have “substantial transmission,” according to
CNN.
This will represent the agency’s third change in indoor mask guidance in
the last 3 months. After dropping most mask recommendations for fully
vaccinated people in May, the agency then said earlier this month that
vaccinated teachers and students did not need to wear a mask indoors,
though CDC still recommended indoor masking for students ages 2 and
older who are not fully vaccinated.
CNN speculated that this change in guidance is likely due to the more
transmissible Delta variant, as well as evidence suggesting that viral loads
found in vaccinated people are “similar” to those in unvaccinated people,
meaning that fully vaccinated people may be able to spread the virus, as
well.
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, MD, is expected to announce the
updated guidance in a briefing later today.

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Data presented to the Israeli Health Ministry July 17, 2021, revealed that,
of the more than 7,700 COVID-19 cases reported since May 2021, only
72 occurred in people who had previously had COVID-19 — a rate of less
than 1%
In contrast, more than 3,000 cases — or approximately 40% — occurred
in people who had received a COVID-19 vaccine
In other words, those who were vaccinated were nearly 700% more likely
to develop COVID-19 than those who had natural immunity from a prior
infection — and this is largely in response to the Delta variant, which has
led to increasing infections in Israel.
It’s extremely rare to get reinfected by COVID-19 after you’ve already had
the disease and recovered; one study found the median reinfection rate
was just 0.27%
With effective treatments available, the documented high survival rate of
COVID-19 and knowledge that if you’ve had COVID-19, you’re already
likely immune to further infection, the rationale for getting vaccinated is
faltering
A recurring theme being broadcast by public health officials and the media
is that vaccine-induced immunity is superior to that of natural immunity,
but preliminary data from Israel — a country with more than 60% of its
population vaccinated against COVID-191 — is showing otherwise.
