The White House and Centers for Disease Control is desperately trying to get more Americans vaccinated. At the same time, they're undermining vaccine efficacy by issuing new guidance for vaccinated individuals to wear masks indoors.

The White House Press Corps is pressuring the administration to implement a vaccine mandate for all federal government workers after Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough announced Monday that VA workers are required to get the jab if they want to keep their jobs.
Shortly after the CDC announced new masking guidelines Tuesday afternoon, President Joe Biden was asked, again, about whether he will require mandatory vaccinations for federal government workers. He responded by essentially calling those who are unvaccinated, including individuals with natural immunity and those who are avoiding the vaccine for personal health reasons, stupid.
