COVID-19 live updates: CDC reverses guidance on masks for vaccinated people

Vaccinated people with breakthrough infections could pass COVID to the immunosuppressed: CDC director

The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, spoke to “Good Morning America” Wednesday about why the CDC has reversed its guidance on masks for vaccinated people. She said the agency felt it was important that vaccinated Americans “understand that if they happen to be one of those breakthrough infections, which was more likely in areas with a huge amount of transmission and disease, that those people could potentially pass it on to somebody, a loved one, who is immunosuppressed.”

Walensky said the mask guidance was changed because of the “new science that demonstrated for those who are vaccinated, that they could in fact transmit if they are one of those rare breakthrough infections.”Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, appears on"Good Morning America," July 28, 2021.

This is the most weak statement ever by the CDC. You probably won’t spread it but you need a mask, you probably won’t get sick but you need a mask, most people getting Covid are unvaccinated but the vaccinated need a mask. What a joke.

Vax to unvaxed transmission is extremely rare, but the media loves pumping this to scare people into dependency. Stop punishing the vaxxed.
