Biden insists US 'following the science' on masks

President Biden says his administration is following the guidance of health officials and that there’s been no decision to change the COVID-19 guidance on wearing face masks.

White House and public health officials have been discussing whether to update the mask guidance because of the surge in COVID-19 blamed on the highly contagious delta variant.

"We follow the science," the president said in response to reporter questions as he opened a meeting on his infrastructure plans.

The current guidance is that fully vaccinated individuals do not need to wear face masks while those who are unvaccinated should continue to wear them.

There’s no such thing as ‘the’ science.

"The science" is not science.
