Here is the full guidance, take a look, it's all nicely laid out and I think more cautious than people may perceive. And don't yell at me about it, I don't work for the CDC. But I'm glad they're back on their game.https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated.html …

Replying to @notdred
What happens is lot of people seem to have a mental checkbox that move things from "misinformation" to "science" when the guidelines (if/when/finally) change. (Obviously, it wasn't that before, and reasonable disagreements may persist... But that's not how it operates usually).

Internalized authority? I see the shift typically justified with "the science has changed", which is really weird when the CDC cites the same studies and observations that get denounced as insufficiently convincing.
