The Brief: "Breaking: Fully Vaccinated People" memes are spreading on Twitter after the CDC announced new guidelines for what fully vaccinated people are allowed to do.
DEEP DIVE
As more and more people in the US are getting Covid-19 vaccinations, the CDC releases new guidelines describing what vaccinated people can and can’t do. Internet users are making light of the whole situation by creating funny memes.

Similar to that of the “Being Fully Vaccinated Does Not Mean” and the “Even If You’re Fully Vaccinated The CDC Still Recommends” memes, “Breaking: Fully Vaccinated People” jokes are meant to poke fun at the constant updates from the CDC and news outlets. These do so by pointing out the various types of mundane and ridiculous activities people can get back to doing, like having awkward encounters with strangers in public settings.
