Ted Cruz says CDC’s “credibility is at stake,” Explosive Mask Guide

senator Ted Cruise (R-TX) criticized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and stated that the credibility of the agency is “at risk” after the new recommendation for fully vaccinated people to wear masks.

Cruz is interviewed Fox News‘ Sean Hannity Regarding the revised CDC recommendations on Wednesday, they called these decisions “ridiculous” and called them “purely political” rather than based on science.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a recommendation on Tuesday, stating that fully vaccinated people should wear masks in “public indoor environments” where there is a “mass and high spread”.

In its previous recommendation on May 13, the CDC stated that in most indoor environments, fully vaccinated people do not need to wear masks.

Cruz disputed the revised proposal on Wednesday.He also aimed Democratic Party And accused it of playing “politics” in the pandemic.

“This Democratic Party From the beginning of the pandemic, it has been treated as a political issue,” Cruz told Hannity.

“We see a political agenda to protect our safety rather than common sense. I have to say that yesterday the CDC made the absurd decision that people who are vaccinated must still wear masks when they are indoors. This decision, Sean , This is not science, that is politics. This is pure politics,” he continued.

“do you know? The vaccine worked yesterdayThey still work today, but as a political issue, the Democrats have decided that they want to control your life. They want everyone to wear a mask”

“My point is very simple: we should not have a federal government mandate for COVID. This means there is no requirement for masks. That Means no vaccine requirement. This means there is no vaccine passport. “

“This should be a matter of personal choice. Now, personally, I have been vaccinated. My family has been vaccinated. This is a choice we made, but I also believe in personal freedom and responsibility.

“It’s your choice to decide what suits you and what suits your family. You don’t need a group of intervening bureaucrats from Washington to make authorization and Decided that you have to do this to go to work, Go to school, get on the plane, live,” the senator said.

“You know, the CDC has destroyed their credibility,” Cruz continued. “A year and a half ago, the CDC was one of the most respected scientific organizations in the world, and they allowed themselves to be politicized-together with the PhD. [Anthony] Fauci is at the helm of politicization-now their credibility is at stake, because their behavior is more like a branch of the DNC than an actual, serious medical and scientific organization. “

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said on Wednesday that there is evidence that, in some cases, fully vaccinated people can spread the Delta variant.

“For the previous variants, when people had these rare breakthrough infections, we didn’t see their ability to spread the virus to others,” she said CNN.

“But with the Delta variant, we are now seeing in outbreak investigations that have occurred in the past few weeks, and in these outbreak investigations, we have seen that if you happen to have one of these breakthrough infections, you can now actually pass Give it to others,” Varensky said.
