Clay: If You've Been Waiting For CDC To Say It's OK To Take Off Masks Outside, Well, You're A Sheep

The CDC has finally come out and said that if you're outdoors and vaccinated, you don't need a mask. But you shouldn't need the CDC to know that already, OutKick's Clay Travis says in his latest clip.

"I gotta tell you something. If you have not been going outdoors, or you have been going outdoors wearing masks, and you've been waiting for the CDC to give you the OK to take your masks off, you are such a sheep ... you disgust me," Clay says. "You are pathetic, alright?"

Clay wasn't finished.

"If you are driving around in your car, by yourself, wearing a mask, you are a total loser," he says. "If you are sitting in the basement of your house after a year of this pandemic, still terrified of COVID, and you are under the age of 50, you have almost the same likelihood of getting murdered."

Imagine if you knew someone who was too afraid to go to a restaurant, or to the gym, or to the grocery store ... because they're afraid of being murdered.

"You'd be like, 'Dude, you've got major psychological issues,'" Clay says. "Major, major psychological issues. Because the odds of you being murdered are really, really low.

"You know what the odds are of getting COVID if you're under the age of 50? One in 50,000. Putting that into context, that means if a stadium (that) seats 50,000 people were 100% full with people with COVID, one of those people, if they were under the age of 50, would die. That's insane."

Clay has a lot more to say on this topic, so be sure to give the entire video a look below.
