New federal guidelines by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that suggest fully vaccinated people can go without masks in most indoor situations and outdoors has sparked confusion amid the general public, faced resistance by some health experts and imposed inconsistencies among businesses and local jurisdictions.
Health experts expressed shock in the days following the CDC s updated guidance, with some arguing the loosened recommendations go too far and risk jeopardizing the country s recovery from the pandemic.
Leana Wen, an emergency physician and public health professor at George Washington University, said she thinks the CDC went one step way too far and should have limited its update to what fully vaccinated people can do around other fully vaccinated people because they re more protected from contracting COVID-19.
