A year ago, we had just started getting used to masking in public places after disease control and prevention centers (CDC) announced in early April that everyone in the United States (not only health professionals and those with COVID) should bewearing a face covering. And now we will have to get used tomask out. The CDC announced on May 13 that vaccinates people moreneed to wear masks outsideWhereinside, except in particular circumstances. Even if it is a return to the "normal" pre-pandemic, we knew that some people may not feel ready to eliminate the face coverings that protect them for a whole year. And head of the White House Counselor CovidAnthony Fauci, MD, warns people not to criticize those who may not want to leave their masks at the moment.

During the press of the Press of the White House Covid-19 team of 13 May in which they announced the change of mask guide,Tommy Christopherof mediaite asked Fauci: "I was wondering if you had something to say to people vaccinated and still want to wear masks inSituations that the CDC says are a weak risk. Is there a problem with that? And if people should people be dismissed? "

In response, Fauci said there was nothing wrong with entirely vaccinated people by keeping their masks, despite the updated guidance of the CDC. He stated that the decision not to wear mask is a "personal choice", which is simply a recommendation from the CDC, not a requirement. "There are these people who do not want to take this risk and there is nothing wrong with that, and they should not be criticized," said Fauci.

The twoAndy Slavitt, Senior Advisor for the Response Team from the House White House Covid-19, andRochelle Walensky, MD, the director of the CDC, shared the feeling of inaccuance. "People must make these decisions based on their own comfort," Walensky said.

Slavitt added that "habits are hard to break, so that people can take the time to adapt. That's good. As a general rule, we are anti-side."

As for the entirely vaccinated people whoto do Do you want to take their masks, Fauci says that science is on their side. He stated that CCC's Change is a "science-based recommendation", with Walensky citing several recent studies that show how effective vaccines are in the real world (as opposed to clinical trials) and 'evolution of variants. "In the last two weeks, the cases of this country fell by a third party. Over the past two weeks, we have had an increasingly available vaccine and we have now available andEligible people aged 12 to 15 years"Said Walensky during the briefing." And we had a coalescence of more science that emerged over the last week. This science has been in three areas. One is the effectiveness of vaccines in general and real populations. One is the effectiveness against variants, which has just published last week. Then efficiency in the prevention of transmissibility. "

Nevertheless, some entirely vaccinated people may want to wear their masks becauseRevolutionary infections are possible, according to the CDC. However, Fauci noted that the risk of obtaininginfected once you are completely vaccinated is "extremely low".

Walensky also said that in situations where you do not know if people are vaccinated (like a concert or restaurant), simply delete your mask if you are fully vaccinated; They are people who did not have their photos of Covid who are at risk.

"Science demonstrates that if you are perfectly vaccinated, you are protected. These are people who are not fully vaccinated in these contexts - that may not be mask - which are not protected. And these are these people. that we encourage to be vaccinated and wear a mask and a physically distance, "Walensky explained." So, if you are vaccinated in these settings, you could certainly wear a mask if you wish, but we say in these settings, on The basis of science, that it is safe [not]. "
