CDC director ripped for pushing extension of mask wearing for vaccinated students: 'Absolutely no off-ramp'
Fox News
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky faced the wrath of exhausted parents and other skeptics after sharing her belief that schools should not lift mask recommendations for students even after they're vaccinated, wondering if there was ever going to be an end in sight.
"First, we're really encouraged as we watch the COVID-19 cases come down from this delta surge, in this very moment," Walensky said Wednesday at a White House COVID-19 team briefing. "But, we all know that respiratory viruses … tend to thrive in winter months and colder weather. So, right now is not the time, as cases are coming down, to become complacent because we do know colder weather is ahead of us and we need to do all that we can – including vaccinating those 66 million people who have not yet been vaccinated – all we can in our prevention measures and our vaccination efforts to make sure that we don't become complacent during this period of time."
She added: "So, right now we are going to continue to recommend masks in all schools for all people in those schools and we will look forward to scaling out pediatric vaccination during this period of time."
