Thursday on “CNN Newsroom,” network medical analyst Dr. Leana Wen weighed in on the prospect of optional masking in schools.
Wen advised that once there is rapid testing for students and teachers and when vaccines are authorized for children, she could see masks coming off, but she clarified that the United States is “nowhere near that yet.”
“I agree that masks are a very powerful layer of protection, but it’s one layer,” Wen outlined. “And if we have so many other layers that are present, masking may be one that could go away. But I would say that — let’s say a school … or a particular class, everybody is vaccinated in that class, and also the level of community transmission is declining. I could imagine that situation being where we remove masks because we have all these other layers. Or if we have rapid testing, imagine if every child and teacher were tested every morning, and also they’re vaccinated, you can imagine that situation, even if there is high levels of community spread that maybe you can remove masks at that time.”
“But we are nowhere near that yet, and I think what we really need to do is get the vaccines authorized for children as soon as that is possible and also really ramp up testing because that is a powerful tool that we are just not using across the country as we should be,” she concluded.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
