'CDC was well intended, but the message was misinterpreted, premature, & wrong. Let's fix it,' Adams tweeted.

's insistence in the early days of the pandemic that masks would not be necessary for all people. He explained that the call was based on their limited knowledge at the time and an effort to preserve the supply of masks for medical professionals who needed it most at the time.

Last year Tony Fauci and I famously, prematurely, & wrongly advised against masks. I felt it was the best call at the time, but now regret it. I’m worried the CDC also made a similarly premature, misinterpreted, yet still harmful call on masking in the face of ⬆️ delta variant.As scientists gained a better understanding of COVID-19 and how it spreads, it was decided to reverse this call and mandate masks for all.

Now Adams believes that the CDC should do the same. Specifically, he mentions mandating masks for all, even the fully vaccinated, in areas with rising case numbers. The CDC has stated that the current vaccines on offer are able to offer protection from the Delta variant. Reports indicate that the vast majority of recent cases in the U.S. involve unvaccinated patients.
