CDC: Studies Propelling Shift in Mask Guidance Not Available
ZACHARY STIEBER | July 28, 2021 | Updated: July 28, 2021
The studies that prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to change their mask guidance for vaccinated persons are not available, a spokesperson told The Epoch Times on Wednesday.
“They have not been published yet,” the spokesperson said.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s director, told reporters on July 27 that she had seen “new scientific data from recent outbreak investigations” indicating the Delta variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 was presenting more uniquely than other strains.
“Information from several states and other countries indicates that in rare occasions, some vaccinated people infected with the Delta variants after vaccination may be contagious and spread the virus to others,” she said.
That motivated officials at the agency to change masking guidance. . .

“They have not been published yet,” the spokesperson said.
The studies from March 2020 haven't been published yet either.

Aren't they usually made available on a preprint?

In other words, not peer reviewed?

WaPo, "outside scientists" to CDC: Where's the data?
Ed Morrissey Jul 29, 2021 9:21 AM ET
Good question. The CDC reversed its position yesterday from three weeks earlier on masks, claiming that their data on the Delta variant of COVID-19 drove the decision. The Washington Post points out, though, that the CDC didn’t publish any supporting data, and that “outside scientists” are asking why:
--- Quote --- [T]he Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did not publish the new research. In the text of the updated masking guidance, the agency merely cited “CDC COVID-19 Response Team, unpublished data, 2021.”
Some outside scientists have their own message: Show us the data.
“They’re making a claim that people with delta who are vaccinated and unvaccinated have similar levels of viral load, but nobody knows what that means,” said Gregg Gonsalves, an associate professor at the Yale School of Public Health. “It’s meaningless unless we see the data.”

Still waiting to see the data that cloth or paper masks protect anyone from contracting an airborne virus.
