This kind of thinking bothers me. If the truth is that fully vaccinated people have reduced their risk and masks are unnecessary, the CDC owes us that blunt assessment. No more "noble lies" in the hopes of swaying public behavior.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1393322817958055937 …

I may be misinterpreting the disagreement here, but it seems like
@MichaelMaiello views the CDCs mask guidance as a release of data and@zeynep more a recommendation of social behavior? -
Yes. I view the policy decision as part of government transparency.

Right, but the central fact here, which we agree on, is that the fully vaxxed are fine. Shouldn't government policy reflect that?
-
Yes. And I've been saying that for a long time. Enforcement and timing still matter. Can say "the fully vaccinated should proceed freely in their private lives, indoors or outdoors but we can't check vaccine cards at grocery stores and not everyone has had a chance yet."
