(CNN)To avoid lockdowns, people in the United States will have to do things that they won't necessarily want to do, such as wearing masks at indoor gatherings even if they're vaccinated and having kids mask up in schools, the director of the National Institutes of Health said Monday.

"We want to avoid lockdowns at all costs, but that means we're going to have to do some other things that won't necessarily be welcomed by people," Dr. Francis Collins said on ABC's "Good Morning America" when asked how he saw the fall playing out. Those unwelcome things include vaccinated people wearing masks at indoor parties, Collins said, citing an outbreak in Massachusetts in which many of the infected people were fully vaccinated.

What does “The Science” say about the efficacy of masks in specific situations?

The CDC and NIH have been ignoring the sciences of fluid flow, filtration, and anything else mask related since some politician thought that the masks worn in Korea and Taiwan had something to do with their early success in avoiding COVID outbreaks.

I'd like to see the "science" about the effectiveness of all of the public health efforts taken since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak. Lets do thinks like compare Sweden's results with England's results, or look for any correlation between mask mandates in the USA and actual rates of infection in counties with outbreaks.

How about NOT doing lockdowns, which is what other people do not welcome and tell them to get over it?
