Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said May 16 that the federal government isn’t “counting on vaccine mandates at all” and that any such mandates will be locally driven.
Her remarks come days after the CDC updated its guidelines to state that individuals who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, “can resume activities that you did prior to the pandemic” and no longer have to wear a mask or socially distance in most indoor and outdoor settings.
