The Case for Wearing Masks Forever by Emma Green for The New Yorker

The title is clickbait but the article is interesting. It’s about the organization https://peoplescdc.org/ which argues that the sudden shift to “the pandemic is over” is bullshit, and provides alternative analysis of the data.
the People’s C.D.C. [is] a ragtag coalition of academics, doctors, activists, and artists who…have made it their mission to distribute information about the pandemic—what they see as real information
….
“the C.D.C.’s data and guidelines have been distorted by powerful forces with vested interests in keeping people at work.”

The People’s C.D.C. strongly supports mask mandates… arguing that “the vaccine-only strategy promoted by the CDC is insufficient.” The group has noted that resistance to masks is most common among white people.
