Medical analyst Dr. Leana Wen said she was surprised to hear the updated recommendation from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that vaccinated Americans can largely end mask use. ‘Frankly, I was shocked by this announcement. I think they went from one extreme to another. And the major step that’s missing here is how do we know that people are telling the truth?

Additional Food for thought

Despite all the progress the country has made in vaccinating large swaths of the population — about 36 percent of Americans are fully vaccinated — administration officials privately noted there is still an average of roughly 35,000 new covid cases and more than 600 deaths each day. Now, as people remove their masks indoors and relax social distancing guidelines, there are worries cases could spike in areas where many still remain unvaccinated.
