This is “good news” coming from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention?<\/p>\n

I’ll be candid: The news makes me a bit nervous.<\/p>\n

The CDC says it’s OK for those of us who are “fully vaccinated” to meet with others who also are fully vaccinated against the COVID virus without any restrictions. You know what I mean: no masks, no imperative to practice social distancing, those kinds of things.<\/p>\n

Maybe I should just accept CDC director Dr. Rachelle Walensky’s word for it, that it’s safe to hug on others who’ve been totally vaccinated. Then again, I remain worried about just how do we know with any certainty that others have received all the shots they need to declare themselves inoculated against the killer virus.<\/p>\n

The media are heralding this news as further evidence that we are turning the corner against the pandemic. I hope we are and, yes, I believe we are in the midst of turning that corner.<\/p>\n

I just can’t shake the heebie-jeebies I feel when I hear this kind of reporting out of the CDC.<\/p>\n

For now I believe I am going to continue to keep my distance from a good bit of American society.<\/p>\n\n
