Good. They never should have ended the original guidance given that we have no system in place for verifying vaccination status, and it seems that they were wrong about it incentivizing more people to get vaccinated. With cases rising again (and the vaccines somewhat less effective against delta) reinstituting it's the right call (though yes, I imagine compliance is going to be lower than had they never ended the original guidance in the first place).

I agree with all of this to be clear. It just frustrates me to no end to hear friends constantly defending the CDC when they've been inept this entire time. This isn't even hindsight being 20/20 either: there have consistently been "stricter" scientific recommendations that they have purposefully ignored in order to play politics/economic recovery, in both presidential administrations. Like they had to have known this was going to happen a month ago, when the warning signs were all there.

I'm just mad cause now I have to teach with a mask on. Anyone have tips for reducing glasses fog? The tape trick didn't work.

Also in response to Corrik: the CDC's already updated their recommendations and I would be all for mandatory vaccinations
