Americans are now segregated along “vaccine identity” lines: “The rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do. The choice is yours,” Biden says

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) just issued a new guideline for people who are fully vaccinated against the virus. The CDC said that those who are fully vaccinated can resume activities they did prior to the pandemic. However, unvaccinated Americans are still required to wear masks.

President Biden also made it clear for the unvaccinated: “The rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do. The choice is yours,” Biden said in a tweet.

With this new rule, Americans are now segregated along vaccine identity lines. If you’re wearing a mask in public, the assumption is that you’ve not taken the vaccine. In other words, you’re now an anti-vaxxer who Biden has told his followers to ‘treat with kindness and respect.’

In a press conference, Biden said:

“If you see someone in a mask, please treat them with kindness and respect. We’ve had too much conflict, too much bitterness, too much anger, too much politicization of this issue…Let’s put it to rest.”

The CDC also added that “fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.”

A few minutes after the CDC announcement, the White House also issued the following statement on Twitter:

“Big news from the CDC: If you’re fully vaccinated, you do not need to wear a mask – indoors or outdoors, in most settings. We’ve gotten this far. Whether you choose to get vaccinated or wear a mask, please protect yourself until we get to the finish line.”

Then just a few minutes ago, Biden now makes it clear for the unvaccinated Americans:

“The rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do.

The choice is yours.”
