Jerome Adams expressed regret over his own dismissal of masks early on in the pandemic, but warns against repeating his mistake in the face of the highly transmissible variant.
Adams expressed regret that he and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, did not more strongly advocate. Now he worries that the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention is repeating the same mistake after rolling back its guidelines for indoor mask wearing.
“What @CDCgov said was based on the science & conditions at the time, and amounted to ‘you’re safe IF you vax it OR mask it,’” Adams tweeted Saturday. “Both the conditions & the science changed, but what people heard and held to was masks were no longer needed…” What Dr. Fauci and I said was based on the science & conditions at the time, and amounted to “save the medical masks for the medical workers.”— Jerome Adams
