CDC director: Vaccinated people 'safe' from delta variant, do not need to wear masks
The Hill ^ | 06/30/2021 | Peter Sullivan

Posted on 06/30/2021 6:35:41 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky said Wednesday that fully vaccinated people are "safe" from the current variants and do not need to wear masks, doubling down on CDC guidance as some others call for a return to masks.

The question of mask-wearing has come back to the forefront given recommendations from Los Angeles County health officials, and from the World Health Organization, that even fully vaccinated people should continue to wear masks indoors in public as a precaution due to the rise of the highly transmissible delta variant of the virus.

But Walensky said that the CDC's guidance has not changed, and that fully vaccinated people do not need to wear masks, echoing other health experts who note that the vaccines are highly effective even against the delta variant.

Wasn't she the one crying or acting demented on TV earlier this year? Fauci says this and she says that. Pick a lane.

That’s the guidance today. Tomorrow? Who knows, depends on what master Xi tells them.

The mask wearers will be identified as unvaccinated.

“Pick a lane.”

Oops, that was yesterday’s lane! You’re supposed to be driving in that lane today.

The ONLY thing that has been constant is that Trump was stupid for suggesting that HCQ and IVM could be effective therapeutic treatments. They simply do not waver from that line.

SMDH! Wasn’t it yesterday that fauxcheeze or one of his minions was touting the possibility that the vaccines may not be as effective against the uber deadly ‘delta’ variant? And people still buy their lies? We remain firmly in the “pay the price” column. Mostly because we don’t want the vaccine. Not political, not religious, not medically. We just don’t want it.

Aren’t vaccinated here people dying at twice the rate of unvaccinated people in Israel?

What makes us so special that we’re safe and they aren’t?

Put another way, which government is lying, Israel or the US?

Yeah, but according to FauXi, “That’s science”.

I had the Virus in Dec 2020. Fully recovered after 10 days. I had no intention of wearing a mask before infection or will in the future. For those that didn’t have the Virus (Read: Flu) if you’re reasonably healthy your amazing body will create the your own specific antibodies to join the fight and win.

This makes me laugh. I thought the only reason you wore a mask was to protect others, because it’s well known that the mask won’t protect you.

Meanwhile, a college baseball team was kicked out of the CWS because 4 VACCINATED players tested positive...

I’m sick of Clown.World.

How nice it must be to go spouting pish one day, and then the next spout completely contradictory pish.

And not be held liable or responsible for it.

Frightened Australians need to hear this from one of their fellow leftists.

I expect she will be wanting to spend more time with her family, in the very near future. The Dems were counting on her to play their game, so we could all be masked and in lockdown again, at the mid-terms.

The “delta variant” hysteria and the coming new round of lockdowns is geared toward continuing the universal mail-in ballot fraud through the 2022 midterms, and perhaps beyond. It’s all part of a piece, the Great Reset.

The people of the United States at some point need to say Enough! It might already be happening. Just anecdotal, but I see a lot of stuff on social media from liberals who are sick of this ongoing misery, especially regarding their children not being allowed to go to school, etc. The globalists are overplaying their hand, imo.

Why is it still not safe to evict tenants?

Saw an interview on Fox yesterday where it was disclosed that the mRNA vaccines appear to provide long term, perhaps even lifetime, immunity to all known COVID strains. Probably no need for a booster. Likes like the anti-vaxxer edifice is crashing around them as each of their claims evaporate.

Here’s a link to an article in the Chicago Tribune. The NYT is reporting the same.

I think they got a serious bit of blowback. Also, how could they possibly continue to encourage people to get vaccinated, on the one hand, while on the other, saying that it did no good and you still had to continue with the restrictions.

Especially now that Biden has come out and taking credit for the vaccine. Ooops!
