THREAD: CDC is ensuring vaccine-hesitant or vaccine-opposed will remain that way w/ this nonsense (as reported by @nytimes. Purported reason for reversal is "reports of rising breakfthrough infections w/ the Delta variant." But "reports" is not science. 1/
2/ What is science is this study showing Pfizer 88% effective against Delta variant. Times' article referenced only May study on effectiveness of vaccine. foxbusiness.com/markets/pfizer…
3/ So reversing course based on "not science" while ignoring "science" is going to make Americans less likely to believe anything CDCs says, especially since Fauci already told us he tells Americans what he thinks we can handle, i.e., % need for herd immunity.
4/4 Add to people claiming everyone should mask since you don't know who hasn't been vaccinated and school unions continuing to push for masks at school (if kids are even at school). A gov't that lies, shades, spins, manipulates will never be trusted.
Post-Twitt: If gov't (and Americans--and I'm one of them) wants folks to get vaccinated, transparency, honesty, and respect for contrary views is needed!
