The linked article slightly misrepresents the linked cdc guidance.
In the Washington post article it claims the cdc says vaccinated people should not be tested.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/07/21/covid-testing-vaccinated/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/07/21/covid-test...
>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has officially decreed that fully vaccinated people should not be tested for the coronavirus in the absence of symptoms.
In the cdc link it says they “can” refrain from routine testing, not “should”.

>Fully vaccinated people can:
>Refrain from routine screening testing if feasible
And you can see if you follow the link, there is a "should" section below the "can" section.
