CNN was widely satirized on Monday after tweeting that the launch of the new coronavirus guidelines by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was “giving limited liberties” to vaccinated people, with many pointing out that the CDC has no authority to give “freedoms” to anyone.
“The CDC publishes guidelines that give limited liberties to people fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Here are the rules for continuing to follow,” said the post on CNN’s verified account for breaking news. ONE similar tweet it was also sent from CNN’s main account.

Representative Thomas Massie, R-Ky., roasted both the liberal network and the agency, writing: “When CNN reports on the CDC, you get twice as much fake news.”
Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, also scoffed at CNN for the structure of the tweet.
“Talk about the absolutely Orwellian framework of CNN’s CDC orientation,” wrote Cruz. “Reflects your worldview.”
The tweet promoted a story with the headline, “CDC launches highly anticipated guidance for people fully vaccinated against Covid-19”.
The CNN report reports that fully vaccinated people can “visit other vaccinated people indoors without masks or physical distance”, “visit indoors with unvaccinated people from a single home without masks or physical distance, if unvaccinated people have low risk of serious illness “and” Skip the quarantine and test if exposed to someone who has Covid-19, but is asymptomatic. “
Many ordinary social media users also scoffed at CNN.
