CDC Director Rochelle Walensky told ABC’s Martha Raddatz Sunday the reversal on mask guidance had come as a result of rapidly evolving science. Raddatz pressed Walensky during a Sunday morning appearance on “This Week,” asking what had prompted the CDC to so abruptly abandon mask recommendations for vaccinated Americans and why she hadn’t mentioned that possibility during a Senate hearing just days earlier. WATCH: “It was just Tuesday when you sat before a Senate committee and you were adamant then that masking and social distancing should remain in place,” Raddatz began, citing a Washington Post report indicating the decision to lift some restrictions may have already been made by then. “When it was finally announced on Thursday, it came as a huge surprise, and it left some administration officials, doctors and businesses off guard.
