If you have questions after the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared on Thursday that it was safe for Covid-vaccinated persons to cast aside masks and social distancing in outdoor and indoor spaces, with a few exceptions, such as on airplanes and trains and for immunocompromised persons, then you are not alone.
While we agree that the current vaccines with emergency use authorizations in the US have outstanding effectiveness and should be fully utilized, and that their use makes a great difference in the severity of Covid-19 illness, hospitalizations and deaths, the CDC should better articulate the case for this policy relative to the numerous drawbacks.
Unfortunately, we are still not across the finish line in the US pandemic. There is still a Covid-19 death about every 2.5 minutes in the nation, and serious racial and ethnic disparities exists (e.g., in disproportionate access to vaccination services).

Wearing masks is not sustainable.
Please, sir, could I have some more?
I suspect that CDC walks back this guidance to say that only places that can verify those who took the vaccines can allow no masking (and also a testing requirement especially if variants become prevalent). All others will be requested (in blue states required) to continue to require masks and have capacity limits.
It still makes us feel safe and good
Its our mouth pacifier
That’s what happens when you’re oxygen deprived from face masks, and overloaded with carbon monoxide.
You double down on stupid.
“serious racial and ethnic disparities exists (e.g., in disproportionate access to vaccination services).”
Is that even true? I thought “the powers that be” were bending over backwards to try to convince certain ethnicities to get vaccinated. Doubt that it’s an access problem.
Public health experts: Why we’re going to keep wearing our masks
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
‘They’ say WE like they have a turd in their pocket...
This sudden move by the CDC has triggered the libs.
And Pegrossi is so stubborn she won’t let the House go maskless - she probably has dozens of designer masks at home she hasn’t yet worn.
She gets a new one everyday
The ice cream and bourbon glazed drool used ones are donated to the homeless

It’s how brain dead liberals are made.
The white people are hogging all the vaccines. OK, I'll wait so someone else can get vaccinated. I'm doing my part, we're all in this together, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
It’s a symbol of their moral superiority.
Off course it’s via CNN....they want everyone to wear a mask forever!
Of course the lefties are clinging to their little face diapers. They loathe the thought of giving up the power and the virtue signaling associated with the nasty things.
As for the rest of us, we’ll breathe freely, thank you.
I think they just don’t want to be sued. If they were their masks and somebody gets Covid, they can say “don’t sue us “we did everything we could”.
there is a pie chart showing US covid deaths per demographic, alongside census figures for the same demographics.
hope someone can find it because the two are almost identical, and do not show race is a factor.
>Is that even true
No. In wokeism, ‘disparities’ is anything that stands in the way of ‘equity.’ ‘Equity’ is opposed to equality and means everyone getting the same result regardless of circumstances, ability, effort, dedication, or any other human qualities. In short, a restatement of the communist ‘to everyone according to their need’ BS with, as always, the masters deciding who has what need.
Since this is both stupid and impossible, ‘disparities’ will continue indefinitely, making them a perfect vehicle for the people who want indefinite, unlimited power to do anything in the name of fighting crises of their own creation.
