IN THE NEWS--TWITTER ERUPTS AFTER CDC DIRECTOR WALENSKY TELLS CONGRESS MASKING GUIDANCE DOESSN'T REALLY CHANGE WITH TIME

Twitter erupts after CDC Director Walensky tells Congress masking guidance ‘doesn’t really change with time’ Story by Nikolas Lanum • Yesterday 2:00 PM

A Congressional hearing sent Twitter into a tailspin after Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky admitted that the public health agency's mask guidance for children "doesn't really change with time."

Sitting before the House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing, Walensky told lawmakers last Wednesday that the CDC will continue to recommend masks in schools in communities where COVID-19 levels are high.

Claiming that the CDC is the only national or international agency that recommends masking for 2-year-old children, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., asked Walensky to explain the process and timeline by which the CDC uses evidence to update, modify or withdraw current guidance.

A newly released review published by the Cochrane Library researched 78 controlled trials to determine whether various mitigation strategies, such as masking or handwashing, curbed the spread of COVID-19. The review fund that mask-wearing in the community probably makes "little or no difference."

Walensky said the study only includes randomized clinical trials that researched other respiratory viruses in addition to COVID-19. She noted that since COVID-19 can spread before symptoms occur, it is difficult to determine the accuracy of some of the study's conclusions. MORE AT
