I Will Never Obey Tyrants Anti Biden Shirt, hoodie, tank top
The CDC issued new guidance last week saying fully vaccinated people can unmask at small outdoor gatherings or when dining outside with friends from multiple households — activities the agency said unvaccinated people still need to wear a mask for.
But the guidelines are too cautious, as some unvaccinated Americans are already unmasking outdoors, Mathew said.
“I think that the CDC missed an opportunity to say, ‘listen, we can return to pre-pandemic lives and you can do more if you’re vaccinated,’” Mathew said. “So I think, when the science is there with positive news, we must share that and motivate people to get vaccinated.”
Everyone 16 and older is currently eligible for a Covid-19 vaccine in the US. But polling data shows younger Americans are least likely to get a shot.
A recent Quinnipiac University poll found that 36% of adults under the age of 35 say they don’t plan on getting one.
That’s particularly worrisome for several reasons.
Unvaccinated young Americans have helped fuel case increases across the US — including in several states last month. At that time, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky warned infections and hospitalizations were going up, predominantly among younger adults who hadn’t been vaccinated.
And in places like Michigan, which battled a violent spring surge, officials reported last month they were seeing younger and healthier Covid-19 patients in hospitals, hit hard by more contagious variants that have been circulating in the US.
‘A ton of young people’ testing positive
Last week, West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice said the state was offering a $100 savings bond to residents 16 to 35 who get a shot, in a push to get more younger residents vaccinated.
The governor said the median age of residents testing positive for the virus has dropped.
“When it recently came down to 44 years of age, we thought, ‘Uh oh. We’ve got a problem. We need to get our young people vaccinated,’” Justice said in a statement. “But now we’re down to 34, and that means we’ve got a ton of young people that are testing positive.”
