The CDC announced on Friday that students and teachers/staff who are vaccinated do not have to wear masks when school returns in-person this fall:
BREAKING: Students who are vaccinated don’t have to wear masks in school this fall unless, they are riding the school bus or their school decides otherwise, according to new guidance released by the CDC. https://t.co/T9EgIWIMZd

They’re just guidelines, of course:
MORE: The new federal guidelines aren’t mandatory but are expected to influence school officials, local health departments and governors who are in the midst of preparing for students to return to the classroom full time this fall. https://t.co/T9EgIWIMZd

But we KNOW how it’s going to go, right? For over a year, we’ve been lectured to “Follow the science!” And now that the CDC is saying something libs won’t like. . .
This is going to be fun. https://t.co/euo1EF3Wvm

We’re already seeing that in California:
The @CAPublicHealth said Friday children will be required to wear masks in school despite the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention releasing new guidelines saying face coverings aren't necessary if certain precautions are taken. https://t.co/Qqqf3t6E1S

Yeah, it’s not going to happen:
Somehow I don't think teachers unions are going to be flooded by think pieces to stop ignoring the science and get to work.

The panic-porn pushers are already at it, too:
Schools without rules for masks? Without fresh air ventilation / disinfection / air exchange minimum? Without testing? With vaccination for teachers? While #DeltaVariant soaring? ➡️ CDC is making another grave mistake. Kids need safe schools! #COVID19 🧵https://t.co/TvOFxxThHK

And he’s telling parents to make their own filters for classrooms:
If CDC says we parents and teachers are on our own for schools, then we need to start getting creative with our own air disinfection devices… the Jerry-rigged air cleaning device below tapes together several MERV13 filters into a cube called a “Corsi Box” (named after @CorsIAQ). https://t.co/Lx08V50Pkp

Reminder: *HIS* kids are at a private school in Austria:
What are the rules like for kids in schools in Austria where you sent your own kid because you, and other hysterics like you, urged American schools closed? https://t.co/IJXQlEu9sS

As for the science, we have numbers out of the UK on just how safe it is to open schools in the pandemic:
guessing the cdc’s recommendation to reopen schools was influenced by this new study https://t.co/sUImPfUnqO pic.twitter.com/gLcUb6mxch

Over to you, America:
How dare they follow the science!

The CDC did recommend weekly tests for the unvaccinated, however:
key: “Even where Covid-19 cases are rising as the highly contagious Delta variant spreads, the CDC said that all students and teachers should continue to meet in person and that those who are unvaccinated should be tested weekly.” https://t.co/dYYKdz1gVU
