When Joe Biden became the President of the U.S., he asked Americans to wear face masks for his first 100 days in office. Thursday marks his 100th day as President, but new guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that only fully vaccinated Americans can do away with face masks outdoors – and even then, only when not in crowds. The Mail has the story.
Fully vaccinated Americans can now safely go without masks outside, the CDC said on Tuesday.
“If you are fully vaccinated, things are much safer for you,” said CDC Director Dr Rochelle Walensky during a Tuesday White House press briefing.
“There are many situations in which Americans do not need to wear masks if they are fully vaccinated, particularly outdoors.”
As long as they are outside, people who are fully vaccinated can now exercise, go to small gatherings or restaurants with people who are vaccinated or unvaccinated.
It comes amid mounting evidence – finally acknowledged by the CDC on Tuesday – that outdoor transmission of coronavirus is exceedingly rare, accounting for less than 10% of cases. Those risks are mainly linked to crowded events that can turn into super-spreader events, or people who were in close range of one another.
However, in crowded places like concerts, parades or sporting events, even vaccinated people should still wear masks, the CDC’s new guidance says.
The guidance is merely that – advice about what the health agency has deemed safe – and is not enforceable. It’s up to states, counties and cities to issue mask mandates and other restrictions.
Several states, including Massachusetts and Kentucky rolled back their guidelines on mask-wearing outdoors on Tuesday morning, in anticipation of the update to the guidelines.
Unvaccinated people can shed their masks too, if they are outside exercising or at small outdoor gatherings with vaccinated friends and families.
In order to “make a point” about the new mask-wearing guidelines, President Biden took off his mask when giving a speech at the White House on Tuesday and kept it off until he was back inside.

Yada, yada, yada. God, these people are MORONIC.
How many Americans have been knickering themselves outdoors?
The Land of the Zombie.
I just saw at least two virtue-signaling morons wearing face diapers in a wealthy suburb as they walked their dog in sunny, 70F weather.
theyre all ove r the palce here , i cannot stand them how i would love to us e a bb gun or soemthing on them
How many USians in Florida, Texas, S Dakota etc etc are completely ignoring the whole farrago?
But I thought they said masks were to protect others? Who cares if I have had a vaccine or not if I am not wearing a mask.
But, but, but…even when fully “vaxxed” it doesn’t stop you being infected or spreading it etc. And the unvaxxed can also ditch their naps and mix with vaxxed, so whats the point of the “vaccine” again?
Biden, what a div!
Notice how the forehead is caved in? … isn’t that the cerebral cortex… the part of the brain that controls the higher functions?
and they said Trump was an idiot.
Commie Joe looks like he stepped right out a horror movie.
Don’t be mean to Uncle Joe, now. He has a hard enough time remembering what day it is, and has already completely forgotten how his election was comprehensively gerrymandered.
Oh my, that covid sure came in useful for generating a decisive tonnage of juicy postal votes to fiddle. Most convenient.
Not gerrymandered. Stolen. The mail in ballots were only a part of the fraud.
So does any knickerface.
This article broke my bullshit detector. What utter and total bollocks.
How many people give a toss anymore what the sodding rules are?
Zombies do. If you count them as people.
I gave you a thumbs-up vote, but now that I think about it, apparently half the population cares what the “guidance” (the rules) are. They’ve got to have their guidance from their nannies before they can do anything. This is probably fine if they would just leave us alone, but they don’t. They cite the “guidance” to boss us around or lecture us on what we can or can’t do. Maybe I’ll live to see a day where the government doesn’t offer “guidance,” but somehow I think more guidance is to come.
At this point, Biden and the CDC are effectively anti-vax.
Just like some SAGE members over here.
Oh Dear, oh dear —
“fully vaccinated can safely go without masks outdoors”.
Well blow me down with a feather duster! There was me thinking I’d been safe since last summer meeting indoors, with over 20 people, without masks, without social distancing… absolute nut jobs, some of these politicians (and their advisers).
Any news about effects from the “super-spreader-Texas baseball-game” yet?
I read a Facebook post yesterday written by a mother who implored officials to make vaccinations available for children. She admits that she is terrified of getting the virus from her young children because she has a “compromised immune system.” She also noted her children haven’t seen their grandparents in over a year because of COVID. I replied to her that I don’t get it. She obviously believes vaccinations can prevent infection and transmission …. and she herself has been vaccinated. She obviously believes that vaccines work and she’s been vaccinated …. so what could she possibly be afraid of? I’d also note that she’s been living with her unvaccinated children the past 14 months … and even with her compromised immune system she hasn’t gotten COVID. The fact so many parents are begging for their children to get vaccinated is bizarre. As my research shows, the probability a caucasian child under the age of 14 will die from COVID is approximately 1-in-700,000. This is the same probability that this mother or her children will be struck by lightning this year. The odds of death for a healthy child (with no pre-disposing conditions) would die from COVID has to be… Read more »
Maybe she could get some Ivermectin to keep in her medicine cabinet, as a form of “good luck charm”. Rest easy with a cure at hand…?
She needs to stop watching the legacy media.
Biden is more protected from COVID by the glasses than the useless mask.
Didn’t Texas and Florida ditch the face nappies ages ago? What on earth us is he on about?
