DeSantis blasts CDC for K-12 mask recommendation: 'It isn't based in science'
Fox News
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' office sharply rebuked the CDC's new recommendation that all children, regardless of vaccination status, be required to wear masks when school returns in the fall.
"It isn't based in science. There is no indication that areas with mask mandates have performed any better than areas without mask mandates. In fact, this policy could actually backfire," DeSantis press secretary Christina Pushaw told Fox News. "Mandating masks for vaccinated people erodes public trust and confidence in the effectiveness of the vaccines. To me it appears that the government wants to be perceived as 'doing something' during a seasonal infection surge, even if their policy does not necessarily make people safer."More Related News
