"I might even go so far as to say that this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against COVID than when I take a COVID vaccine,” Redfield said, adding that vaccines are not 100% percent effective.

“If I don’t get an immune response, the vaccine is not going to protect me,” he said. “This face mask will.”


Boy the anti-vaccers got them some ammo now. “I don’t need a vaccine for polio because I use a mask and mask are more effective than a vaccine”.

Totally irresponsible comment by Redfield. He should be fired.

I'm waiting for him to say this about the flu vaccine also.

Wait... I thought someone else wearing a mask was my protection but my mask didn't protect me from exposure...

Can they get with a story and stick with it?

Anyone else know the problem with lying?

I think he should demonstrate for us. Put on a mask and leave him in a room full of COVID + people.

The CDC is a joke.

ETA: so front line personnel and schools shouldn’t need PPE anymore. Open all schools. Fire the teachers who don’t show. Open all states and wear a mask and vote in person. No need for mass mail in ballots if they can just wear a mask.

That's what care givers do and have done treating COVID + patients day in...and day out. Why are y'all so hard headed about this. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure...not to mention catching this stupid virus and accidentally given it to a vulnerable person that you love...

Was there any question that the CDC was a fricking clownshow?

the way I read this is that he is acknowledging the vaccine all of the liberals and those completely terrified of covid are hanging their hat on as the ONLY way to end the "pandemic" is NOT going to eradicate the virus. Thus, the face mask is the "best" protection.

It's truly remarkable. The facemask has become the hijab of the left.

Masks will become permanent pretty much. Keep denying this all you want but be honest - do you really ever forsee a time where a blue state governor or mayor says "OK, that's it, no more masks!"

Mask = Hijab

Both are worn to signify one's commitment to the cause.

Saw this on news, sorry can't link it.

Not the same type of masks, not even remotely close...

So, I should wear my mask for the greater good?

Exactly. If my wearing a mask protects you but not me I'm fixing to turn mine inside out to protect me from other people.

Why do you lie about being a medical professional?
