The CDC has updated its mask guidance saying 2 weeks after being vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks inside, or social distance in most settings. This comes after a large portion of the U.S has been vaccinated against Covid-19, and many are eager to return to normal.
Despite the updated CDC guidelines, California’s governor is keeping California’s mask mandate in place for the time being. In a recent video, Jimmy Dore covers this news and asks a very interesting questions. Why now, after an entire year of following the CDC guidelines strictly, and shaming those who question the CDC, is it now okay go against the CDC guidelines.
Jimmy Dore goes so far as to label those who want to keep wearing masks “anti-vaxxers” by saying that they must not believe in the science if they continue to wear masks after being vaccinated. He also quoted experts that believe California needs to lift their mask mandated immediately so as not to continue instilling fear in people when there should be nothing to be scared about.
There is immense collateral damage that comes from not easing restrictions after most people are vaccinated. It sends a message that there’s still a danger when there isn’t one and then schools remained close and businesses suffer.
California Goes Against CDC Guidelines — Extends Mask Wearing
Mask mandates and lockdown measures don’t correlate well with case numbers. For example, In Texas, deaths are at an all-time low and cases continue to drop despite no social distancing guidelines or mask mandates. Yet, in Michigan, cases continue to rise despite strict lockdown measures by a democratic governor.
Additionally, as mentioned by Jimmy Dore, Why isn’t the CDC working towards finding a treatment protocol for Covid-19? Instead of talking about treatment or preventative measures aside from masking up and social distancing, we’re being fed vaccine propaganda everywhere we go.
