, departing from guidance released earlier this month that suggested vaccinated students and staff were safe to go without.
"CDC recommends localities encourage universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to schools, regardless of vaccination status," the CDC wrote in a summary of the new guidance."Children should return to full-time in-person learning in the fall with proper prevention strategies are in place."
MORE: CDC director stands firm on mask guidance, calls it 'individual choice' for vaccinated to wear oneCenter for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky testifies during a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky cited new scientific data from a recent outbreak investigation, as well as data from other countries, to defend the agency’s decision to urge vaccinated people to return to wearing a mask in some parts of the country.The data indicate that on “rare occasions, some vaccinated people with the delta variant … may be contagious and spread the virus to others. This new science is worrisome and unfortunately warrants an update to our recommendations,” she said.

If the vaccine prevents covid why do we need to wear a mask where is the logic how does this make any sense
Biden had to say this because the CDCgov order has undermined the vaccine push. People don’t think they’ll die of Covid, but they want their liberties back. That’s why many got the vaccine. Now you’re taking them away from the people who did the right thing for no good reason
What a joke!!

Symptomatic breakthrough COVID-19 infections rare, CDC data estimatesNationwide, approximately 153,000 symptomatic breakthrough cases are estimated to have occurred as of last week, representing approximately 0.098% of those fully vaccinated, according to unpublished internal CDC document obtained by ABC News. This is just awful and irresponsible. We have no idea how many vaccinated cases have occurred. The CDC is not having us report them. Notice please, they say “estimated” but give no methodology for their estimation. This is just not true. That’s 0.098% is an amazingly low percentage. Not even Point 1 %!

CDC expected to backpedal on some masking guidelinesThe nation’s top health agency is expected to backpedal Tuesday on its masking guidelines and recommend that even vaccinated people wear masks indoors in parts of the U.S. where the coronavirus is surging, according to a federal official. How about masks everywhere to PREVENT more people from getting it? This reactive catch-up game makes zero sense. Is CDC about politically appeasing or protecting public health? “Back pedal” aka responding to the facts on the ground. What a shit headline. 'Backpedal' is a weird way to say adjusting guidelines because people are not taking this pandemic seriously and don't listen to the CDC. Do better.
