Operation Warp Speed was said to be the way out of the pandemic that has gripped the US and the world for an entire year. Three COVID vaccines were produced by three different companies in less than a year. Millions have been vaccinated across the country.
The CDC is going to recommend to those who have been vaccinated to continue with the COVID protocol of wearing a mask, keeping a 6-foot distance, and washing your hands.
There is an additional recommendation.
Only hang out with vaccinated people. From WebMD:
The CDC will recommend that vaccinated people try to only socialize with other vaccinated people at home. They should still wear masks elsewhere while observing other safety measures, such as social distancing, reported Politico, citing two unnamed senior administration officials.Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical officer, said:
“I use the example of a daughter coming in from out of town who is doubly vaccinated, and a husband and wife doubly vaccinated, and maybe a next-door neighbor who you know are doubly vaccinated,” Fauci said. “Small gatherings in the home of people, I think you can clearly feel that the risk — the relative risk is so low that you would not have to wear a mask, that you could have a good social gathering within the home.”
So, what is exactly the point of getting the vaccine then?
