CDC Director: ‘I Have Been Completely Forthcoming’ About Mask Mandates

In the wake of widespread backlash over a misleading CDC claim about the likelihood of transmitting coronavirus outdoors, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told CNN on Wednesday night that “I have been completely forthcoming about the science” behind mask mandates.

But she evaded a question from CNN asking what data she has to suggest it is “unsafe” to “let people completely unmask and live their lives if they’ve gotten the vaccine.”
