DoD Publishes New Indoor Masking Guidelines for U.S. Servicemembers

It looks like for a number of servicemembers it will be back to wearing masks indoors regardless of vaccination status:

The Pentagon on Wednesday announced it would once again require all individuals to wear face coverings when indoors at Defense Department facilities in locations deemed high risk by federal health officials for the spread of coronavirus.

The directive from Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks on Wednesday walks back guidance issued in May that allowed service members and others who had been fully vaccinated against the virus to forgo mask-wearing at Defense Department facilities worldwide. It comes one day after the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new guidance encouraging vaccinated Americans to don masks indoors in certain locations where the coronavirus is spreading rapidly.

Regardless of Vaccination Status, ©2020, the American Left

Laughable how the group that tries to own Science continually latches on to movements like this one.

I am old enough to remember when Trump touted Operation Warp Speed and the left threw a fit about the dangers of a rushed vaccine.

…one of the occasional times we agree.

…with the difference being I don’t reverse my opinion just because the teevee tells me I am racist if I don’t.

The CDC guidelines were based on a study that failed peer review and was withdrawn.
