Biden Recklessly Says It’s a ‘Patriotic Responsibility’ for Vaccinated People to Wear Masks:

President Biden is continuing his atrocious messaging on vaccines. In a Today Show interview, the fully vaccinated Biden claimed that he would continue to wear a mask near people — even outside in case somebody came up near him — because it’s his “patriotic responsibility.”

This has absolutely no basis in science. Vaccines are highly effective and studies have suggested that they prevent not only infection but transmission. Outdoor transmission is also extremely low risk. There is no reason to believe a vaccinated person cannot be near another vaccinated person indoors, let alone near another person outdoors.

Even Biden’s own CDC, which I argued was overly cautious, said that the only situation in which vaccinated people should continue to wear masks outdoors is at crowded events. --->READ MORE HERE

Biden says he’ll keep wearing masks outside despite new CDC guidance:

In another instance of COVID panic undermining “the science,” President Biden insisted in a Friday interview that he still plans to wear masks outside — despite new CDC guidance this week that masks do not need to be worn by vaccinated people outdoors.

Speaking to NBC News in a wide-ranging interview Friday, the commander-in-chief called mask wearing a “patriotic responsibility.”

“The likelihood of my being outside and people not coming up to me, is not very, very high,” Biden said while explaining his decision.

“It’s a small precaution to take that has a profound impact. It’s a patriotic responsibility for God’s sake.”

The nation’s leading scientists, however, are offering different advice.

Those who have received both doses of the Pfizer or Moderna immunizations, or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, can go mask-free for small outdoor get-togethers — even if other attendees are not vaccinated, CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said at a White House press briefing this week. --->READ MORE HERE
