But local policymakers should base their decisions on the local circumstances, she added, referring to places in the US where the authorities go against the CDC guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles County is notable for\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.publichealth.lacounty.gov\/phcommon\/public\/media\/mediapubhpdetail.cfm?prid=3206\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">asking<\/a>\u00a0on Monday that all people continue to wear masks in public indoor spaces regardless of their vaccination status. The recommendation cited the spread of the more-transmittable Delta variant, which now accounts for half of all Covid-19 cases in LA, as the reason.<\/p>\n<p>Walensky said the two two-shot vaccines used in the US have proven to be effective against the Delta variant. Data for the single-shot Johnson &amp; Johnson vaccine has not been gathered yet, but the expectation is that it has also been effective.<\/p>\n<p>She refrained from making a statement for or against taking a booster shot of a different vaccine after receiving the J&amp;J vaccine, saying the CDC doesn\u2019t have enough information yet to make a recommendation.<\/p>\n<p>Amid the pandemic, mask mandates have become an integral part of the culture wars, with some people on the left using masks for virtue signaling and their opponents rejecting them as an affront to their personal freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Some experts have warned that asking vaccinated people to wear masks as a precaution may do more harm than good. It signals that even vaccines offer no path to normalcy, and fuels public resentment against other health rules. This may backfire if, for example, a vaccine-dodging mutation of the virus arises and there is an urgent need to put all the restrictions back into place again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelibertybeacon.com\/cdc-and-who-cant-agree-on-masks-guidelines-video\/\">https:\/\/www.thelibertybeacon.com\/cdc-and-who-cant-agree-on-masks-guidelines-video\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CDC and WHO can\u2019t Agree on Masks Guidelines [Video]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-71850","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=71850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71850\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=71850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=71850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=71850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
