After the CDC updated their federal guidance to include indoor masks, regardless of vaccination status, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is feeling the heat. Now, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky is trying to clarify the CDC’s updated guidance after an abundance of criticism.
Appearing on Fox News Friday, Walensky addressed the CDC’s new guidelines and the ensuing pushback from Americans: “This was not news that I expected the American people to welcome. This weighed heavily on me to have to do this. I have no interest in continuing mask guidance, and the best way to stop a new variant from spreading is to have less virus out there and the best way to do that is to get people vaccinated and to mask up until they are,” said Walensky.
The new guidelines, released on Tuesday, recommend that everyone wear masks in crowded indoor settings – regardless of vaccination status- throughout parts of the country where the coronavirus cases have spiked.
Speculation swirled that the government would be federally mandating vaccines, but Walensky shot down those rumors, directly stating: “there will be no federal (vaccine) mandate.”
.@BerkeleyJr To clarify: There will be no nationwide mandate. I was referring to mandates by private institutions and portions of the federal government. There will be no federal mandate.

If these guidelines go any further, the CDC is going to have their (sanitized) hands full. Because you can’t mask the displeasure of the American people.
She’s not part of the federal government. She’s also constantly lied, specifically about the number of children that have died with covid vs children who died from the flu (I used with and from on purpose). She said twice as many has died with covid when the CDC stats on their websites says it’s half.
CDC = Center for Deceit and Control.
Nah I am good. I am done with masks. Thank you very much.
The problem with people in positions that Walensky holds is that they try to balance the facts and data with the administration’s (Biden) political mantra to the country. It’s a high wire act. The left wants to scare everyone so they can maintain control. Walensky attempts to placate the administration while trying not to outright lie.
The only reason there isn’t a federal mask mandate is because their team of godless marxists looked at it – and realized that it simply wasn’t feasible because the FDA hasn’t signed off on it yet.
“To clarify: There will be no nationwide mandate. I was referring to mandates by private institutions and portions of the federal government. There will be no federal mandate.” = “We’ll just have the mandates come from the ground up instead of the top down.”
More Woketard doublespeak.
Man very confusing stuff from one day to the next no wonder people have lost faith in what they say “so called experts” smfh

There will be no federal vax mandate but the government, wink wink, nod nod, fully supports it by virtue of its corrupt judicial system signaling as much loud and clear.
No mandate but we’re going to pressure, bully, coerce and blackmail public & private institutions into making it mandatory. 🤔
But no mandate 😃
