Former Food and Drug Administration Director Scott Gottlieb suggested that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) should revise its COVID-19 mask recommendation for schools.
“We’re going to probably have to tolerate, and probably should, a higher level of baseline spread at the point at which we consider withdrawing some of this mitigation,” Gottlieb, who is currently a Pfizer board member, told CNBC on Wednesday. Pfizer recently indicated that it is seeking an emergency use authorization from the FDA to give its COVID-19 vaccine to children as young as 6 months of age.
