Because the Biden administration is driven, like the Trump administration was driven, by the profit interests of the corporations, not the health interests of the people. They want to "open up", they want children back at school so workers are back in factories making profits for billionaires, no matter the health consequences.
For months, Biden has used the claim that vaccinated people are fully protected from COVID-19 to justify the abandonment of masking and social distancing requirements, despite the fact that the CDC had access to data definitively proving the opposite. “Take your mask off, you’ve earned the right,” Biden said in June.
On May 13, the CDC reversed its guidance on mask-wearing, urging vaccinated people to stop wearing masks and socially distancing in crowded areas.
The CDC’s statements prompted the near-total abandonment of mask-wearing in the United States. Within days, businesses stopped enforcing mask mandates, while the vaccinated public, misinformed by the CDC, went maskless in public and reduced social distancing.
Millions of people voted for Biden believing his pledge that he would “follow the science” in confronting the pandemic. As the WSWS warned, the Senator from DuPont has not followed the science, but the interests of Wall Street. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2021/07/31/cdcr-j31.html
