A useful idiot.
US CDC says if you're fully vaccinated you can ditch the mask and I'm seeing a lot of American "YAY NO MORE MASK!" stuff online which is interesting since 65% of the country still isn't fully vaccinated lol
Stupid never stopped us before. It won't stop us now.
It's really short sighted the CDC is announcing this. It's great if the science is saying transmission is not risky for the vaccinated, but with so many still not vaccinated and knowing human behavior, you have to consider that in your decision making and announcements.
They could have set a target date and a target percentage to motivate people to get vaccinated. It's an opportunity missed and it wouldn't surprise me if variants and opening up too fast caused another surge or weakened the long-term effectiveness of the vaccines. We are so impatient to return to "normal" that we are not focused on ensuring the problem is solved first. It's backwards thinking to appease a largely childish and stupid country incapable of placing long-term consequences ahead of short-term needs.
