way the virus spreads,” they added.
“There is growing evidence that droplets and airborne particles can remain suspended in the air and be breathed in by others, and travel distances beyond 6 feet (for example, during choir practice, in restaurants, or in fitness classes),” the website used to say.
“In general, indoor environments without good ventilation increase this risk.”
But now that language is gone and there is NO MENTION of it spreading in the air.
The move has some experts concerned and wondering why the sudden change? What is really true and is someone behind this change politically?
According to epidemiologist Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding, the new developments mean that six feet may not be enough of a distance, especially in indoor spaces — and that there had been growing convergence on that point among scientists around the world for months.
But the CDC’s reversal, even if temporary, is both shocking and expected, Feigl-Ding said.
“I don’t understand what there is to politically gain by denying the existence of aerosol transmission.
At this point, trust in the CDC and FDA are just so woefully deficient,” he told Yahoo Finance.
While U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) has said the Sept. 15 memo will not affect coronavirus vaccines, experts are wary of the impact and are watching how the department ultimately handles vaccine approvals.
