    The worst part of it all was how it was communicated. No groundwork was laid. The decision just seemed to drop out of the blue with very little warning.https://twitter.com/LawrenceGostin/status/1393604644375498753 …

    New #maskoff guidance is one of CDC’s most serious errors in my memory. Yes, vaccinated individuals are safe w/o masks. But @CDCgov is a public health agency. It should have foreseen the impact on public behavior. #MasksOff will put 60% of the pop at risk. That’s not good ph

        My Trumpian "friends" are going to skewer me. Oh well...

        It was an easily avoidable, shockingly incompetent screwup on CDC's part. And going along with it was probably the stupidest thing I've ever seen any White House do, other than under the Trump regime. Why is nobody even trying to clarify the guidance and fix the damage?

        This was political plain and simple. I get the reasoning but I have a hard time imagining a case where we don’t see another large surge and with potentially increasingly more infectious strains that is even more likely.

        We had 16 months of data showing it didn’t work. Wasn’t out of the blue.

        I agree with you the communication was horrible. Your account seems to be devoted to battling "anti-vaxxers". Almost obsessively so. That's a very narrow view of why people have doubts. This recent communication fiasco is NOT the first mistake the CDC has made.
