Well, I read your linked article.
| quote | The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday there is no significant risk of catching the coronavirus from a surface or object.
The CDC clarified its position in a guidance update that said people generally contract COVID-19 through direct contact with a sick person or from airborne transmission.
“It is possible for people to be infected through contact with contaminated surfaces or objects (fomites), but the risk is generally considered to be low,” the revised guidance states.
The official revision was made nearly a year after the agency noted last May that COVID-19 “does not spread easily” through touching surfaces or objects.
Before that, at the beginning of the pandemic last March, the agency had warned that “it may be possible” to pass on the bug from contaminated surfaces. |

I really don't see where you got that story line. No where in the linked article does it even come close to say what you stated.

Which statement of mine ? CDC or WHO ? Both said as I noted.
The CDC website, updated April 5 2021

Updated Apr. 5, 2021
... the risk is generally considered to be low. |

The World Health Organization (WHO) is now haunted by a tweet it sent earlier this year when it cited Chinese health officials who claimed there had been no human transmissions of the novel coronavirus within the country yet. |

That statement was made on Jan 14, 2020. It's self explanatory, and was repeating only what little information was available (from the Chinese) as the virus had not yet entered the US. (first confirmed case in the US was Jan 20, 2020)
Perhaps there is something you don't understand regarding 'n' in 2019nCoV the initial name given to Covid19?
'novel' means new. A virus or other pathogen not previously identified and not much is known about it.
President Trump, CDC and WHO (and everyone else) could only rely on the information coming out of China at that time. WHO cited it (the Chinese statement), but stopped short of saying they believed it or could confirm it; another thing you neglected to include..
Interesting, you didn't bother including this statement too:
President Trump Jan 22, 2020
"It's one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It's going to be just fine,"
or
President Trump Feb 24, 2020
"“The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”
(A month later (Feb 24) the S & P 500 falls 3.4 percent, the worst single day in two years. The death toll had surpassed 2,600. U.S. cases had reached 53.)[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 04-18-2021).]

Id love to ask the doctor you saw how it works, and how it woked a short while ago. I mean,you can have it in your mouth, breathe it out...you can have it on your hands, spread it around. If that can't spread it I'm not sure how it works.
Plus the other variants. |

"Can the Covid Vaccine Protect Me Against Virus Variants?"

I think this article does an above-average job of updating with the latest information about the Covid vaccines.
It's behind a paywall at the New York Times, but unless someone has gone to "NYT-land online" recently, it likely will be available as a freebie.

Just got my 1st Covid vaccine shot with Chinese version. If it works, yay! If not, nice knowing you guys. Actually I am not worried so much. I figure whatever doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.

A tip for websites that drop a blurb about needing a subscription or signing up before being able to read the article....
If on a computer or laptop, as soon as text or the headline appears on a website, click the 'X' at the top of the browser.
(I don't know how it works on phones. I use my phone as a telephone not as an internet browser)
That, stops the website from loading cookies that are searching for a subscription and you can go ahead and read the article in most cases. I don't usually read anything from WaPo or NYT but sometimes I want to see what the opposition is saying and the x thing works on both. Also helps to stop the "We noticed you are using an ad blocker" thing. It does not work on Wall St Journal.

Then again, whatever doesn't kill you might also leave you crippled, blind or both.

"‘I’m still a zero’: Vaccine-resistant Republicans warn that their skepticism is worsening"
| quote | | Johnson & Johnson pause appears to have little effect, but other messages continue to alienate GOP [vaccine] holdouts |
|
The first three paragraphs:
| quote | Stop talking about the possibility of coronavirus booster shots. Don’t bully people who are vaccine holdouts. And if you’re trying to win over skeptics, show us anyone besides Dr. Fauci.
That’s what a focus group of vaccine-hesitant Trump voters urged politicians and pollsters during the weekend, as public health officials work to understand potential roadblocks in the campaign to inoculate Americans against the coronavirus. Among the most pressing questions are why so many GOP voters remain opposed to the shots and whether the recent decision to pause Johnson & Johnson vaccinations was a factor.
Although more than half of U.S. adults have received at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine, more than 40 percent of Republicans have consistently told pollsters they’re not planning to be vaccinated — a group that could threaten efforts to tamp down the virus’s spread, public health officials fear. . . . |

It's not a real long article, or a real short one. But it has a 2-minute video summary at the very top of it.

I give you a lot of credit in the smart department but that is brilliance. Now I can even read the New York Times when I don't want to,  .
