CDC Director Rochelle Walensky knew that Covid vaccines did not stop infections in January 2021 but continued to claim they did and promote policies based on it, a newly released email reveals.

This piece from The Daily Skeptic claims that the CDC director knowingly lied to the public because she knew that the COVID vaccines did not stop the virus even though she promoted mass vaccination.

What do we make of this one?

    She didn’t lie, she exaggerated. The vaccine did stop most infections (at least before omicron), it just wasn’t enough to end the pandemic.

      That’s right, it did.

      Personally, I think she exaggerated because she thought the average citizen needed a simple, clear message rather than a nuanced one. There was a lot of uncertainty at that time.
