re: Masks, vaccines could stop COVID delta variant spike within two weeks, CDC director says

It’s an easy political play

He beats Delta without having to impose actual mandates and restrictions. So he gets to brag how he was able to stop a more contagious strain without shutting down business and the economy like Trump did

We will see I guess. Though if JBE institutes a mask mandate and the Delta variant has already peaked and starting the decline like the numbers that you post are saying then he can “say” it was bc of his actions to mandate masking. We will know that’s BS, but the general public will eat that up. And guess what, he would then do it again if given the chance.

We both agree that unvaccinated people fueled this outbreak as far as hospitalizations go. I’m just further delineating unprepared or ill equipped unvaccinated fueled this outbreak. There are many that were ready for this day and came out the other end unscathed. Even if you think the horse medicine thing is BS, the other things like ensuring proper nutritional levels (vitamin D, vitamin C, etc) and generally making life changes to avoid things that cause general health problems definitely work and people SHOULD NOT be discouraged from doing that by requiring that the vaccine is the only answer especially for those who have had the actual virus.
