Unfortunately, this is not what happened. Many state and local jurisdictions, and businesses, interpreted the CDC announcement to mean that they should end mask mandates. https://t.co/uivlnTIfJ4

The CDC's new guidance has devolved into a giant mess. It was a major blunder to cede responsibility: Effectively ending mask mandates is not just about science--it's a major policy decision that should have been made by President Biden himself.🧵https://t.co/320DGhMt3v

"The CDC made a critical error in surprising basically everyone with a very significant change last week...." @drsanjaygupta says on @ReliableSources that just days before, he was talking to people within the CDC who said that indoor masking would be the last thing to lifted.

The CDC provided individual-level guidance for vaccinated people to resume pre-pandemic lives. What they neglected to do was to pair that with a policy recommendation: Either require proof of vaccination, or mask mandates still need to be in place to protect the unvaccinated. https://t.co/zQZB8zDTYU

Thoughts on @CDCgov mask update

They got the science right: fully vaccinated folks don't need to wear masks indoors
Of course, there is one major problem: how do you know who is vaccinated?
States/companies are getting policy response to CDC guidance wrong

A lot of folks wondering since I'm fully vaccinated, why would I wear a mask at a grocery store?

Every action we take is a weighing of costs and benefits
So lets talk about fully-vaccinated me in a grocery store
Am I a risk to others? No
Am I at risk? Not much
