Senator Ted Cruz criticized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) over their new mask guidelines for vaccinated Americans, calling it 'absurd' and arguing that the organization's 'credibility is in tatters'.
During a Wednesday interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Cruz took aim at the governmental agency as well as the Democratic party, saying since the beginning of the pandemic they treated COVID-19 as a 'matter of politics'.
'The CDC has destroyed their credibility. A year and a half ago the CDC was one of the most respected scientific organizations in the world and they allowed themselves to be politicized—with Dr. Fauci at the helm of the politicization— and right now their credibility is in tatters because they behave more like an arm of the DNC than an actual, serious medical and scientific organization,' Cruz said.
His statement comes just one day after the CDC released new guidance suggesting that fully vaccinated people should wear a mask in public indoor settings if they are in an area of substantial or high transmission.
