<p>Which one is true? You don't have to do any research because we did it for you. Obama is not breaking any rules, as some Twitter users correctly pointed out.</p>

<p>According to the CDC guidelines and the regulations of Martha's Vineyard, fully vaccinated individuals are required to wear masks in indoor locations, on private and public transportation etc.</p>

<p>Even the&nbsp;Massachusetts government&nbsp;website says that&nbsp;"Masks are still&nbsp;mandatory for all individuals on public and private transportation systems (including rideshares, livery, taxi, ferries, MBTA, Commuter Rail and transportation stations), in healthcare facilities and in other settings hosting vulnerable populations, such as congregate care settings."</p>

<p>However, since Obama's party is outdoors the guests are not bound to wear masks.&nbsp;</p>
