'Who is in charge right now?' CDC Director Rochelle Wallensky quickly shoots down new CDC guidance saying it's safe for fully vaccinated people to travel

Great news, everyone! According to the CDC, it’s totally safe for fully vaccinated people to travel within the U.S.!

BREAKING: Add travel to the activities vaccinated Americans can enjoy again. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says fully vaccinated people can travel within the U.S., without getting a COVID-19 test or going into quarantine. https://t.co/Wnq0unen3u

Thank goodness. Finally, a concrete health and travel advisory from the CDC. No more contradictions. No more about-faces. Just solid, hard-and-fast guidance.

The most exciting part of absorbing new, often belated, CDC guidance is the white-knuckle thrill ride waiting for the inevitable contradictory walk-back!

No, no! This time it’s different! This time, they’re absolutely sur— oh:

CDC Director Walensky: "While we believe that fully vaccinated people can travel at low risk to themselves, CDC is not recommending travel at this time due to the rising number of cases."

So, basically:

They are literally incapable of putting out a coherent message. pic.twitter.com/CP7twljhY7

That would certainly seem to be the case, yes.

"You can definitely travel, but also it's a bad idea to travel, and I'm not being indecisive! SPLUNGE!!!" https://t.co/1V1zGshpEh

You're simultaneously saying that vaccinated people present a low enough risk to themselves and others to travel freely without testing or quarantine but also that they shouldn't do it. Why???

If the CDC wanted to appear disorganized and incompetent, what would they be doing differently?

So, who is in charge right now? https://t.co/9EEZ7WYDnN

The wrong person.

I repeat my question I've asked over and over again: Has any institution in American life lost more credibility over the last year than the CDC? https://t.co/RCXUoTV7zh
