Those CDC claims are now demonstrably wrong in the same post-Delta world you’re judging her claims by. When the CDC recommended that vaccinated people no longer needed to wear masks, exactly what do you think they were claiming that is different from Gandhi?

It’s fine if you want to ignore people who’ve made predictions about Covid that turned out to be wrong, but it just means you have to ignore everyone.



Gandhi’s claim was wrong at the time. Right then and there. There was no indication the vaccines were sterilizing; she was just wishful thinking.


And yet her position was exactly the same as the CDC’s: the vaccines prevent infection and transmission enough that masks were no longer needed on vaccinated people.


That is only part of her stated position, and not the part I take strong issue with.

“they make it so that you can't transmit” was a blatantly false claim about the vaccines at the time it was made.
