California announces it will lift school masks on the same day as we learn about the abysmal drop in efficacy for 5-11s in particular. The furthest out any 5-11 kid could have been from “full vaccination” date in this new preprint was 8 weeks. These shots were fresh.

Keep wearing masks in planes, subway trains and buses, CDC urged today — even though the mask mandate was struck down. @loriara with the story.

@laurieallee All the “individual risk assessment” aside, I think a lot of people assume the govt wouldn’t allow them to take off masks, etc., if it weren’t fundamentally safe. Just being presented with an option drastically reduces the perceived risk, IMO.
