This doesn’t give mixed signals, heck, a bad signal, to all those who are resistant to getting the vaccine, right? They’re looking at this and saying “what’s the point in getting vaccinated if nothing changes?”

Biden wears mask outdoors as ‘extra precaution,’ White House aide says

President Biden hasn’t been following advice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to ditch his mask outdoors and around small groups of other vaccinated people because he’s taking “extra precautions,” a White House aide said Sunday.

“You know, we do take some extra precautions for him because he is the President of the United States,” said Anita Dunn, a senior advisor in the Biden administration, on CNN’s “State of the Union” when asked about why Biden “doesn’t seem to be following” the new guidance.

Dunn insisted that he takes health officials’ advice “very seriously.”

“I think the President takes the CDC guidelines very seriously, and he’s always taken his role as sending a signal to follow the science, very seriously as well,” she said.

The agency last week announced that vaccinated Americans can ditch face coverings outdoors unless they are at large gatherings like concerts.

But Biden said he would continue to wear masks outside, calling it a “patriotic responsibility” and “small precaution.”

Well, sure, Dunn goes on to say that Other People who are unimportant can take their mask off outside if they are vaccinated (most didn’t wear it outside even if not vaccinated), but, Biden is too important, you know. But, what’s the point of being vaccinated if you can’t ditch the mask in those situations as put forth by the CDC? If you follow the science, then you ditch it, and show people that there’s a reason you take the vaccine shot. But, Joe doesn’t follow the science, especially since he fails to wear it indoors quite often. He didn’t during his speech to Congress, despite Pelosi’s rules and his own Executive Order.

Anyhow, let’s move some goalposts

Reaching ‘Herd Immunity’ Is Unlikely in the U.S., Experts Now Believe

Early in the pandemic, when vaccines for the coronavirus were still just a glimmer on the horizon, the term “herd immunity” came to signify the endgame: the point when enough Americans would be protected from the virus so we could be rid of the pathogen and reclaim our lives.

Now, more than half of adults in the United States have been inoculated with at least one dose of a vaccine. But daily vaccination rates are slipping, and there is widespread consensus among scientists and public health experts that the herd immunity threshold is not attainable — at least not in the foreseeable future, and perhaps not ever.

Instead, they are coming to the conclusion that rather than making a long-promised exit, the virus will most likely become a manageable threat that will continue to circulate in the United States for years to come, still causing hospitalizations and deaths but in much smaller numbers.

You have others, like Dr. Leana Wen saying the same thing. The numbers are really more like 44% have had at least one shot and 31% are fully vaccinated, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And the Elites keep changing things up and moving the goalposts and coming up with ways to continue to have Big Government dominance.

One doctor told CNN on Sunday he’s worried officials haven’t offered strong enough incentives for some Americans to get vaccinated — including younger Americans.

“What I worry about mostly are the young people,” primary care physician Dr. Saju Mathew said. “I see them every day pretty much at work.”

What does it say to young people, and the rest, when China Joe is wearing a mask, sometimes two, while he’s outside and nowhere near other people? That getting the vaccine is pointless.
