A clip from a popular television show is spreading on social media wherein the host asks why people who are vaccinated or have recovered from COVID-19 still need to take safety precautions if the vaccines are effective. The clip casts doubt on the effectiveness of the vaccines and government recommendations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend continuing to wear a mask and maintain social distancing because it is not yet known how well the shots protect against variants of the virus or prevent its spread. Precautions and guidelines have been consistently updated as additional evidence is acquired.
