Report: CDC Tightened Mask Guidelines After Threats from Teachers' Union

Report: CDC Tightened Mask Guidelines After Threats from Teachers' Union

The Biden administration tightened its masking guidance after one of the country’s most powerful teachers’ unions — the National Education Association (NEA) — threatened White House officials with publicly releasing harsh criticism of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), according to internal emails obtained by Fox News.

On May 13, the CDC announced that fully vaccinated Americans could stop wearing masks indoors and outside. One day later, White House Director of Labor Engagement Erika Dinkel-Smith wrote in an email she stopped the NEA from releasing a critical statement that had called for immediate clarification.
