“What do I get for being vaccinated? Can’t I take this off?”

Smith: Everybody in my work group is wearing a mask. Everyone. Why do we have to — we’re all vaccinated, why do we have to wear masks? Walensky: So we have to look at the science with regard to how the vaccine has worked in the real world setting. Smith: But isn’t it true, doctor — and forgive the interruption — but isn’t it true that once you’re masked, the science shows that if you’re around others who are masked, you’re okay? Walensky: Once you’re vaccinated, yes? Smith: That’s what I meant. ‘Cause we’re all vaccinated, you know, it’s like, “What do I get for being vaccinated? Can’t I take this off?” Walensky: Right, so we were looking for signs to ensure that the vaccine works just as well in the real world setting as it did in the trials. We need to ensure that the vaccines are working against all of the circulating variants that we have here in the United States. We’re following that carefully.
