The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has backtracked on its testing recommendations for people fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
The agency now advises people who come into contact with someone with COVID-19 to get tested, regardless of whether they are vaccinated or are showing symptoms, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.
The CDC had previously said that fully vaccinated people do not need to be tested after exposure unless they had symptoms of COVID-19.
“Our updated guidance recommends vaccinated people get tested upon exposure regardless of symptoms,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told the Times. “Testing is widely available.”
Walensky said the change had been made in light of data suggesting that vaccinated people could still carry the so-called delta variant of COVID-19. --->READ MORE HEREWill The CDC’s Newest Mask Flip-Flop Be The Tipping Point?

“It is about politics because over the last year and a half, we’ve had multiple narratives, multiple scientists, multiple groups, trying to figure out what’s going on,” Davidson said. “And we’ve seen collusion between the Democrat administration, Big Tech, and the corporate media to shut down any narratives that aren’t the propaganda that’s coming from the administration and from the CDC.”
Americans, Jashinsky said, are fed up and are inevitably going to demand change. --->READ MORE and LISTEN HEREFollow links below to related stories and resources:
