During the White House COVID-19 response team briefing on Friday, Drs. Anthony Fauci and Rochelle Walensky discussed the fear of some vaccinated people to take off their masks, and what that says about the response to the CDC's mask guidelines issued last week. Fauci said their reluctance isn't irrational, but it’s understandable for people to take time to adjust to the new guidance. Walensky, the CDC's director, said there’s “no shame, no problem” for vaccinated individuals to continue wearing masks after being told to wear them for more than a year.
