CNN Medical Analyst: Biden Is Sending ‘the Wrong Message’ and ‘Confusing People’ by Wearing a Mask in a Room Full of Vaccinated People

‘The message really needs to be that the vaccines work’

EXCERPT:

REINER: "Yeah, and it's good to be here. Look, I think it's the wrong message. It's confusing people. There was just a study today that was published out of the Cleveland Clinic. They looked at 47,000 of their employees and looked at the incidence of hospitalization from January through the middle of April. And what they found is that, of the people who are hospitalized with Covid-19 who work for the Cleveland Clinic, 99.75 percent were not completely vaccinated. Said in another way, only 0.25 percent of people — that's 2.5 out of 1,000 — who are hospitalized for Covid-19 had received both vaccines. So the message really needs to be that the vaccines work. And if two people, like we're sitting here, are vaccinated, there is no risk to either one of us. There's even less risk out in public. So, what the administration really should be doing is, instead of continuing to hawk the message of masks in public, they should be hawking the message that vaccines are incredibly effective and vaccines work. So, if you are completely vaccinated, you're two weeks after either your second vaccination or two weeks after the single J&J shot, go out and about. You don't need a mask."
