When a lot of people and organizations say "trust the scientists", it seems what they actually mean/do is "trust the scientists when they say we need tighter restrictions, but ignore the scientists when they say we can loosen restrictions".
A handful of people on the internet do not make the vast majority of people or organizations. Look at the messaging coming from the President today, in line with the CDC. WA state is set to be fully open by June 30th at the latest based on current trends combined with the CDC guidance.
I meant people in positions of power who make rules that other people have to follow, more so than random people on the Internet just giving their opinions. For example, I predict it will take a lot longer for mask mandates to go away than it did for them to appear when the CDC first said so.
"I want to be clear about what the CDC is saying – and what the CDC isn’t saying. The CDC is saying they have concluded that fully vaccinated people are at very low risk for getting COVID-19. Therefore, if you’re fully vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask."
