Small Little Things Men Do That Women Are Totally Infatuated By! Tabs, Thurs., May 20, 2021

Whatever, it's some dumb bullshit. It's tabs!

Fauci is wrong here. "I think people are misinterpreting, thinking that this is a removal of a mask mandate for everyone. It's not," Fauci told [Mike Allen]. "It's an assurance to those who are vaccinated that they can feel safe, be they outdoors or indoors."

The CDC had to know that the second that mask guidance came out, just about every corporation was going to back off of requiring customers to wear masks. Which they did. Nobody is "misinterpreting" the CDC's guidance. It's simply that the 30 percent of the country that is objectively pro-COVID can now free-ride on the vaccinated people who can go without masks, because nobody's going to ask anyone to show proof of vaccination. (And in Florida, they outlawed private businesses asking for proof of vaccination.) This just hits me as cowardice all around, and I'm not thrilled with CDC leadership either. — Axios
