The World Health Organization on Friday said that people should continue to wear face masks and take other measures meant to curb the spread of COVID-19, raising concerns about the"People cannot feel safe just because they had the two doses. They still need to protect themselves," said Dr. Mariangela Simao, the assistant director-general for access to medicines and health products at the WHO,"Vaccine alone won't stop community transmission," she added.

Masks have become less common in the US as it has returned largely to pre-pandemic norms following the ongoing vaccine rollout that began late last year.. All 50 states quickly fell in line with the new guidance, eliminating mask requirements in most settings and scaling back other restrictions meant to prevent the spread of the virus., just over 53% of all people in the US are at least partially vaccinated against COVID-19. About 46% of people are fully vaccinated against the disease.

What a bunch of BS

Vax prepare your body to fight the Covid virus so you don't get 'too sick'. But Vax don't make you 'impenetrable' to the virus. You can still be the virus carrier and pass the virus to someone who are susceptible, e.g., babies, toddlers, elderly (who did not get vax).

So the vaccinations don’t work then

I think it is more safe)

Covid19 is not going to leave us till 2050 i guess

who has less credibility than trump

Delta punching the air while reading this

Will this ever be over?

Yaaa Allah 🥺

pcrampton The fallacy is that just because you are vaccinated, you are totally immune. Yes, up to 95% or so of the time, but none of these vaccines are 100% effective. Sure, if you do get sick, the effects should not be so great, but you are then also spreading.

So fully vaccinated not really fully protected?

bullshit fakenews

Mask is good for stadiums, airplanes, etc where you are to close to each other and the number of people is higher than normal …. And this is not talking only for COVID but for any other virus or bacteria…. I mean… who wants to be sick with any illness…IMO WHO

A: WHO said that B: who? A: WHO B: who?

btw it's about spreading not getting sick. You'll not get sick if you're full vaxed.

No.

Thank goodness it's only Delta airlines....

Airplanes and Hospitals the only place left you have to wear a mask.

So the day after Pfizer and Moderna release studies showing their vaccine is just as effective against the delta and delta plus variants, WHO releases a non-data backed opinion. These people at WHO are great, aren't they?

People who gets the first shot and doesn't care about the others while not wearing masks, are creating a new vaccine resistant variation...

No government or organization should be believed at this point
