Texas senator Ted Cruz has confirmed that he will no longer wear a mask while in the US Capitol, despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking to a CNN reporter on Thursday, Mr Cruz, 50, explained his decision by saying: “At this point I’ve been vaccinated. Everybody working in the Senate has been vaccinated.”
The senator then defended the practice by adding: “CDC (Centres for Disease Control and Prevention) has said in small groups, particularly with people who were vaccinated, don’t need to wear masks”.

While I am not a scientist, I believe this virus is in its infancy and no one knows what is correct. While the virus is new, the vaccine is even newer. By all accounts there is proof of Breakthrough where individuals have still gotten the virus sharing it with others and suffering through it. There is also evidence that those who are vaccinated can still be carriers. What is wrong with wearing a mask until we have more definitives than unknowns. Let’s be safe instead of sorry. Just my thoughts.
