Scott Gottlieb, former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, said this week that indoor mask mandates should begin to be lifted immediately, saying vaccine efficacy means the government should relax pandemic-related restrictions.
In fact, Gottlieb said Thursday that if the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not begin encouraging the lifting of mask mandates, they will quickly lose credibility.
“I think we should start lifting these restrictions as aggressively as we put them in,” Gottlieb told CNBC host Shepard Smith.
“We need to preserve the credibility of public health officials to perhaps reimplement some of these provisions as we get into next winter, if we do start seeing outbreaks again,” he continued. “And the only way to earn public credibility is to demonstrate you’re willing to relax these provisions when the situation improves. That’s what gives you the credibility to implement them when things worsen.”
Overall, Gottlieb predicted the COVID-19 situation in the U.S. will only continue to improve, yet another reason to relax or rescind mask mandates.
What shocker implement them in the fall? Why? Pretty much the entire country will be vaccinated why would the virus come back.
Too Many Chiefs & not enough Indians running America Govt !!!!
