Last week I conjectured that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) obfuscated when they recently recommended that vaccinated individuals resume indoor masking under certain circumstances. My speculation was that the policy was justified but that the CDC was not forthcoming in explaining the rationale for the policy revision. The revised re-masking recommendation, as with every other aspect in this pandemic, has only further polarized a nation that seems to be trying very hard not to heal itself literally and politically. I predict that our collective political affliction will long outlast the coronavirus plague. I routinely ask patients if they have received the COVID-19 vaccine. Recently, a patient replied that has not received one. I asked what his concerns were and he firmly responded that he would never get vaccinated against the coronavirus. Not much space for dialogue here. The CDC and public health experts admit that masks are not the antidote.
