Sen. Rand Paul advised people to ‘live free’ and ‘mess up your mask’ after receiving the coronavirus vaccine in response to cautious guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“Instead of listening to the government’s scoundrels, look at the science of immunology: and once you’re 2 weeks off the vaccine or have recovered from the actual infection, you should drop your mask and be free again,” he said. Paul said on Twitter.

Paul responds to a CNN article which sets out updated CDC guidelines, which now recommend that fully vaccinated people may meet with other fully vaccinated but still exercise caution, including the use of masks in public.
“COVID-19 continues to take a huge toll on our country. Like you, I want to be able to return to everyday activities and engage in conversation with friends, families and communities,” said Dr. Rochelle Walensky, CDC director, said about the updated guidance. . “The science and protection of public health should guide us as we begin to resume these activities. Today’s action is an important first step. It is not our final destination.”
NEW CDC GUIDELINES ARE AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE WITH BOTH VACCINE DOSES ON WITH OTHER INCLUDED HOUSES
“As more people are vaccinated, levels of COVID-19 infection in communities decrease, and as our understanding of COVID immunity improves, we look forward to updating these recommendations to the public,” Walensky continued.
The CDC defined people who were fully vaccinated as those who left two weeks to receive both doses of Moderna and Pfizer vaccines or the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
According to the new guideline, people who have been fully vaccinated can reach other vaccinated indoors without wearing masks or socializing. People who are fully vaccinated can also get along with people who have not been vaccinated from one household who are at low risk for serious COVID-19 complications.
However, the CDC insisted on continued caution for those who were fully vaccinated, and advised on the continued use of masks and social distance while treating those at serious risk of COVID-19 complications and in public places such as grocery stores . The lead is also still recommended against medium and large crowds.

“We still have high virus levels across the country, and more transmissible variants have now been confirmed in almost every state. While we work to vaccinate people more and more quickly, we need to see through that,” Walensky said. . “Let’s stick together. Please wear a well-fitting mask and take the other public health actions we know to stop the spread of this virus.”
