Are ALL essential workers in the US fully vaccinated? If not, they remain at high risk.
And you don’t drop MAJOR POLICY CHANGES on your partners (like the states and the WH) without collaboration on risk communication, @CDCgov. That’s comms 101.
The US continues to treat Covid-19 casually. Singapore is back in lockdown. LOOK AT THE PER CAPITA RATES. WE ARE NOT A UNITED COMMUNITY. 🤦🏼♀️

It’s not that the @CDCgov announcement about the power of vaccinations was bad (except for colloquial use of “safe” which means ‘absence of risk’) … it’s their ignoring crisis comm AND their partner states/businesses:
Compare and contrast: Administration erroneously blocking finances of a small Italian restaurant on its last day in office.
Administration facilitating states vaccinating 2.4 million people in 24 hours; 4.6 M in 48 hours.
59.8M Americans now fully vaccinated against Covid19.
CDC also reports “administered” data (moving doses from the state to vaccination centers so they can be scheduled):
8.1M doses since TH.
This makes April accelerated vaccinations possible
The Trump operation refunded $122 million — more than 10% — of what it raised online in 2020.
The illustration is accurate but exaggerates scale (because it stops far below 100%). The narrative justifies the exaggeration
THE SCALE BOGGLES. Trump, RNC and shared accounts “refunded far more money to online donors in the last election cycle than every federal Democratic candidate and committee in the country combined.”

I am SO damn tired of columnists reaching for the LAZY "Fauci was wrong about masks" back on March 3, 2020.
It's intellectually dishonest - and disinformation by omission - for two reasons.
FIRST, Fauci was referencing known research.
Two samples:
2019 - Effectiveness of commercial face masks to reduce personal PM exposure (not very)
2017 - The efficacy of medical masks and respirators against respiratory infection in healthcare workers (five studies)
Second, in the early days of the pandemic, the US was short on ALL masks, not just N-95.
Early public statements were also trying to prevent a run on masks, so that hospital staff and 1st responders would have access to protective equipment.
