Were they trying to make it seem like they had very robust evidence for their reversal on masks? Were they trying to get people's attention? Or, say, did the slides represent a minority/heterodox view within the CDC, some individual who disagreed with the agency's take on Delta? — PolitiTweet.org

I want to know more about the provenance of the leaked CDC document that *emphasized* the comparison to chickenpox and made a lot of other claims (e.g. about vaccinated transmission) that spun uncertain evidence about Delta in a very scary light. https://t.co/ohLXsxc7Ni — PolitiTweet.org

A final variation: maybe the CDC thought it needed to get a message out about Delta and but it assumed it would be tempered by the time the public heard it, when instead e.g. the New York Times amplified all the scariest parts and played down conflicting evidence and caveats. — PolitiTweet.org
