CDC reversal on indoor masking prompts experts to ask, ‘Where’s the data?’

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 In the text of the updated masking guidance, the agency merely cited “CDC COVID-19 Response Team, unpublished data, 2021.”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.”

Waiting for liberals to hit social media and start calling them anti-vaxxers.

Wouldn’t call that a snap, but it wasn’t exactly presidential.

When they demand illegal aliens undocumented immigrants mask up and get vaxxed then, maybe then I'll be impressed. Or not

“The CDC did not answer questions Wednesday about whether it relied on outside sources of data or the number of patients examined in its outbreak investigations.”

Data? They don’t need data.

Data is just justification to the masses for their decisions to lord it over us.

Time to get out and make more shopping trips to prep for the new shutdowns looming.

The missing data means it’s bad and they don’t want to show it. My bet is that vaccinated people are transmitting *more* virus than unvaccinated. An inconvenient truth.

Read an article from some psycho bitch who is the glad the pandemic happened cause she thinks masks “prevent so many other infections” people should wear them forever.

What else is missing is whether these people are asymptomatic…

Bingo
They will never published the data because it will show that those that have been vaccinated carry a higher viral load

Thanks for posting this. The infectiousness of the Delta variant sounds like bunkum.

The fact is that many people who refused the vaccine are getting sick, which is their choice and their responsibility. But this makes the Biden Regime look bad, so now, in desperation, they are going to punish the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike to coerce more vaccinations, and they are not above lying to justify it.

If this works, Patriots, this will teach Democrats to expand it to other areas where Americans engage in activities the Leftists don’t like: smoking, owning guns, attending church, speaking one’s mind, supporting law enforcement, displaying the flag, etc.

Resist tyranny.

Data? “Why do you need to have that information?”

This isn’t anything new. It’s just a repeat of the old asymptomatic spreader narrative again. CDC thinks they have a mandate to protect us all whether we want protection or not.
