CDC chief moves from 'impending doom' to no masks for the vaccinated in 45 days
Fox News
In just about a month and a half, the leader of The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has dramatically changed her tone on COVID-19 and mask mandates.
"Based on the continuing downward trajectory of cases, the scientific data on the performance of our vaccines and our understanding of how the virus spreads, that moment has come for those who are fully vaccinated," she continued. Just 45 days ago, on March 29, Walensky warned the nation of dire days ahead. "I'm going to lose the script, and I'm going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom," she said during a White House Covid-19 Response Team briefing. "But right now I'm scared. I know what it's like, as a physician, to stand in that patient room gowned, gloved, masked, shielded, and to be the last person to touch someone else's loved ones, because their loved ones couldn't be there." Walensky continued in the March livestream.
