Here is the problem…the CDC has lost credibility in the public eye because they have lied and proven that they play politics.
We are all happy that the waiting period has been reduced to get back into the work force, but who and how did the “growing body of evidence” finally get to be determined to be enough to change the guidelines?
Anyone in medicine can tell you that can find a study to support almost anything. But it is the overall knowledge of the literature and the quality of studies that needs to drive recommendations, and this admin has shown that it prefers politics instead. The bodies that used to self regulate and monitor each other are now under the thumb of the WH.
THAT is why there are so many skeptics. THAT is also why many still won’t get vaccinated on their advice.
The fact that heads didn’t roll after this blockbuster revelation is evidence itself of the corruption.
We need new representatives without political baggage to run this show…not tools like Fauci and Walenski. And the Left needs to quit pretending that this is just “science” when conveniently timed decisions meet desired goals.

They're trying to see if they can start up second semester with "virtual learning." You know, that thing that worked so well last time they tried it.
Additionally, they're canvassing to see who among their esteemed group would also support work stoppages in other local unions.
If you are in a public sector union you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
Both NEA and AFT are on a steady decline here, as a result.
There's no real reason to join for even sympathetic teachers. It's really a symbolic act, at this point. I belonged to AFT at one point and the meetings were rather pathetic, with our district union leaders reduced to to pleading with district administrators for small changes or a couple seats at a table with administrators, while holding no cards.
Even in states that haven't taken these measures, you will see fewer and fewer new teachers willing to give a share of their paychecks to the unions. Many/most of the Boomer/early Gen X teachers who were hard sellers of the unions are retired or are retiring.

It’s science.
Trump did his best to destroy the CDC's well deserved global and apolitical standing regarding infectious diseases, all in the name of trying to cover up the realities of COVID.
Biden fixed it.

Ummm, ya.
I’m fine with it if the CDC also took input from nurses unions. Doubtful.
Anyway, this is now manifest in significant acrimony between parents groups and school boards and teachers unions. While the focus was on critical race theory, this was what drove the Virginia governor’s race outcome.
opening policy during this COVID-19 pandemic would be nonsensical...they represent over a million teachers, and others who are directly affected by the guidelines...and it wasn't/isn't a political issue...it's a health issue...and potentially a 'life and death' issue for them...the only 'politicization' of this disease comes from folks like you who make up conspiracy theories.
You embarrass the medical community far too often.
right on anything as Tyrone recently pointed out which is something I've pointed out over and over again during these last
several years.
that I somehow oppose the changes when I would have embraced them long before the CDC finally acted based on political expediency.
I am not creating stories about relatives who are specialists in the field in order to get credibility. I am not making up stories about encounters with historical figures. I ignore uneducated idiots who pretend to be what they are not ( Google Docs as I call them) or who take a side based on the political spin they want to spread to quell the questions in their faithful.
I merely speak the truth. The CDC and the High Sparrow (Fauci) are an embarrassment who have handled this epidemic with amazing incompetence and a growing amount of fascism (“exclude your relatives” for example or just yesterday suggesting “no plane flights without vaccination” which of course will require a national database on people’s medical information.
