WASHINGTON – New recommendations from federal health officials this week on when vaccinated Americans should don face masks came with a startling bolt of news: People who have had their shots and become infected with the delta variant of the coronavirus can harbor large amounts of virus just like unvaccinated people. That means they could become spreaders of the disease and should return to wearing masks indoors in certain situations, including when vulnerable people are present.
But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did not publish the new research. In the text of the updated masking guidance, the agency merely cited “CDC COVID-19 Response Team, unpublished data, 2021.”
Some outside scientists have their own message: Show us the data.
“They’re making a claim that people with delta who are vaccinated and unvaccinated have similar levels of viral load, but nobody knows what that means,” said Gregg Gonsalves, an associate professor at the Yale School of Public Health. “It’s meaningless unless we see the data.”
When CDC Director Rochelle Walensky spoke to reporters Tuesday, she cited the “new scientific data” but provided limited details about how the research was done. She said the data comes from outbreak investigations in which researchers compared delta infections among vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
The data will be “published imminently,” according to a federal official knowledgeable about the research but who was not authorized to be a spokesperson for the government.

That’s true only in the fever swamps of the anti-vaxxers.
So, kind of viral cooties?
I'll bet the Durham report precedes this data release.
CDC is short for: See! we DeCeive!
I will call them the CDeceive for a while now.
What does that prove? Or “prove”?
Actually, that is not enough data there to prove anything.
It might tell you where to look. But it might just tell you to keep looking.
It shows the deaths have decreased by a couple of orders of magnitude, which is why they have switched to hysteria about the “cases,” most of which we now know are false-positives.
I know it's always a challenge to filter out the noise, but if you listen to the virologists and the developers of the MRNA vaccines, they never said it would "prevent" covid infection. What they said was that it would prevent serious infection, minimize the symptoms, and even cause it to be asymptomatic.
Correct, but that’s not the criteria in which the EUA was granted on.
