To prevent further spread of the Delta variant, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its mask guidance on Tuesday to recommend that fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors when in areas with "substantial" and "high" transmission of Covid-19, which includes nearly two-thirds of all US counties.
"In recent days I have seen new scientific data from recent outbreak investigations showing that the Delta variant behaves uniquely differently from past strains of the virus that cause Covid-19," CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told a media briefing on Tuesday.

Nothing more than a POLITICAL DECISION.
So.. is this inside your own house. Or public places..
The CDC can kiss my a**!
Why don’t we all just wear bags over our heads? It would be about as effective.
80% of vaccinated are gonna be pissed.
20% of vaccinated will be delighted as they haven’t given up masks yet anyhow.
Top that headline, Babylon Bee, I dare ya! lol
The Texas Democrat morons started this BS.
I’m still going to look at masked Karen’s like the wusses they are.
From an earlier post of the entire cdc statement, it says the vaccinated are becoming supper spreaders.
Incredible.
Did Wallensky have any suggestions as to how one knows if they are in a high transmission rate area. ?
Hold up a finger and see which way the wind blows ?
I got a finger for her …….
I looked on the CDC site and didn’t see it for vaccinated people——can someone post a direct link to the CDC?
Never mind-—the link was there.
I need a contractor to install chicken wire to keep the mosquitoes out of my house.
‘From an earlier post of the entire cdc statement, it says the vaccinated are becoming supper spreaders.’
great news; at least we’ll all be well fed...
“Can I still get Covid after the vaccine?”
“Yes”
“Do I have to wear a mask after the vaccine?”
“Yes.”
“Do you know what the long term effects might be of the vaccine?”
“No.”
“Then why should I get the vaccine?”
“Because it will show that you care.”

… 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.

😁
They can stick their masks where the sun don’t shine.
I absolutely REFUSE to wear a mask again.
Rochelle Wah-Winsky...the hysterical “doc”
Gift that keeps on Giving
She should talk Gavin Newsom right out of office and PO the rest of the country so they vote straight R in 2022
But of course she’s depending on those Dominion machines to keep herself ensconced
Last time I never wore a mask outdoors and 50/50 when in certain stores-—as I live in Eastern,PA. I have never bothered anyone for wearing a mask when the mandates ended but I have been masked shamed numerous times and only a few times I pressed against their attacks. This time I will NOT tolerate these mask shamers. I tried being nice but I will NO longer tolerate it-—period! I know it’s coming this fall-—
