27 Jul 2021 Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) administration is striking back following news of the Biden administration surrendering to more Chinese coronavirus mandates — requiring vaccinated individuals to begin masking up in certain settings — contending the policy is “not based in science” and warning that it will likely backfire. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is expected to update its current guidance, recommending individuals who are fully vaccinated to mask up in certain settings. The forthcoming policy sends a mixed signal to the nation, as public health officials have, for weeks, pitched vaccinations as the only way to return to a time of maskless, pre-pandemic normalcy. However, with the new guidance, it appears that is far from the case.
