Dr. Marc Siegel On Confusion Over New CDC Guidance For Vaccinated People

Listen To The Full Interview Below:

Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News Medical Correspondent joined Fox News Radio’s Guy Benson Show to discuss the confusion over new CDC guidance on masks.

Dr. Marc Siegel said,

“There’s two reasons we take a vaccine. One is to protect ourselves and one is to protect others because covid gets people very, very sick. We focused a lot on the second, protecting ourselves. You don’t want to get very sick. And even the J&J Shot, which isn’t quite as effective as the others, one shot decreases hospitalizations by 100 percent. But at the same time, we were learning that this vaccine decreased transmission. And that means that not only won’t you get sick, but you can’t harbor it and pass it to others. I can point to so many studies about this. The amount of virus that that’s in your nose goes down 10 times after one shot. We’ve known all of this for weeks and weeks. I’m not convinced that over the last two weeks studies emerged. These studies have been there. By the way, there are studies over the last two weeks. But but the data has been there for months. And and they took baby steps. They took baby steps before they were sending a message of caution at a time when they were trying to get millions and millions of people, more people vaccinated. That was a mistake. They saw the mistake. Now they’re trying to reverse the mistake and they’re not admitting it was a mistake. That’s that’s what’s happening.”
