Just two days ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 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.
Then in a conference this same day, President Biden also made it very clear for the “anti-vaxxer” and the unvaccinated Americans: “The rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do. The choice is yours,” Biden said in a tweet.

In another tweet featuring a 5-second video clip of Biden sitting on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, Biden later doubled down on his previous tweet saying, “It’s vaxxed or masked.”
“Vaxxed or masked.”
You can watch the video below.
Folks, if you’re fully vaccinated — you no longer need to wear a mask.

With this new rule, Americans have now been 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 added:
“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.”
