Masks are still necessary for crowded outdoor venues like sports stadiums, the C.D.C. says.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Because of the extraordinary progress we\u2019ve made in the fight against COVID-19, the CDC made a big announcement today: If you are fully vaccinated \u2014 and if you are outdoors and not in a large crowd \u2014 you no longer need to wear a mask.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; President Biden (@POTUS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS\/status\/1387104758335479813?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">April 27, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Social media went into a complete frenzy debating whether this was the right move to make. On the other hand, anti-maskers jumped at the news. President Biden also took to Twitter to celebrate this moment in the pandemic. He\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS\/status\/1387104758335479813\"class=\"editor-rtfLink\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">tweeted<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">: \u201cBecause of the extraordinary progress we\u2019ve made in the fight against COVID-19, the CDC made a big announcement today: If you are fully vaccinated \u2014 and if you are outdoors and not in a large crowd \u2014 you no longer need to wear a mask.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Biden set July 4 as a target for when people could get together for backyard picnics with a sense of normalcy, and both the new mask guidance and his remarks were geared to encouraging people to continue getting vaccinated. As of late, there are at least 2.78 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccines administered per day. And while there is a large push to get vaccinated, there is still a large portion of the country that is uninterested in receiving the vaccine, keeping us still a long way away from herd immunity. According to a Monmouth University poll\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/polling-institute\/reports\/MonmouthPoll_US_041421\/\"class=\"editor-rtfLink\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">conducted<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0between April 8 and April 12, 43% of GOP respondents said they\u2019ll never get the coronavirus vaccine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With an assortment of movements varying from pro-mask, anti-mask, pro-vaccine, or anti-vaccine, this large announcement made by the CDC can seem almost contradictory to the progress goals the Biden administration is hoping to have with the unceasing coronavirus pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I think a lot of people are (subconsciously or not) conflating the CDC
