Dr. Fauci Admits: 40 to 50 Percent of His Agency’s Employees Are Not Vaccinated. FDA Also Reports Similar Numbers

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said that about 40 percent of his agency’s employees have not received the COVID-19 vaccine, while a deputy at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said the agency is reporting similar numbers.

During a Senate hearing, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) asked Fauci, the FDA’s Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Peter Marks, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky about the percentage of their employees that were vaccinated against COVID-19.

“I’m not 100 percent sure, senator,” Fauci said in response, “but I think it’s probably a little bit more than half. Probably 60 percent.”

Marks then told Burr that he could not say the exact number, but “it’s probably in the same range” as what Fauci reported. He added that some FDA employees were vaccinated at their facility and others were vaccinated outside their facility.

Walensky said that CDC staff has “the option to report their vaccination status” and said the agency is encouraging federal employees to get vaccinated.

“The federal government is not requiring it, so we do not know” the vaccination percentage, Walensky said.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in response to an inquiry about inconsistent access to vaccines, said that only “a small number of agencies” such as the Department of Defense or Department of Veterans Affairs distribute vaccines directly to their employees, according to the Federal News Network.

“For the vast majority of agencies, their employees receive vaccinations through states and localities, pursuant to the prioritizations established by those jurisdictions,” said the OMB.

Meanwhile, within the military, the Marine Corps said that as of April 23, approximately 93,500 Marines had received the COVID-19 vaccine while 52,900 Marines have declined a shot, or about 36 percent. An additional 92,300 Marines have yet to be offered one.

In comments to the “Today” show on April 30, President Joe Biden said he might force the military to get the vaccine.

I guess only half of us are going to be growing that new nipple on our foreheads.

[Secret Agent Man]

Probably means at best.

I doubt over half have.

They see the writing on the wall. They arent risking their lives on something so untested and unknown like this.

RE: I guess only half of us are going to be growing that new nipple on our foreheads.

I wouldn't mind having this if it works.

This says a lot about how dangerous the experimental vaccines are, that the employees at CDC, FDA, and NIH won’t take the experimental vaccine.

Shop I work for offered a day off with pay and no masks to anyone that gets the “vaccine” there hasn’t been many takers so far.

Not even a count? This from the agency obsessed with contact tracing.

Have not aka refused.

[HotHunt]

When approximately half medical and hospital personnel refused the vaccine and now approximately half of the NIH and CDC personnel have decided to not get this experimental vaccine, I feel like I am in good company by deciding to not get the vaccine myself.

And now that Biden says he might "force" the military to get the vaccine, it just confirms that people aren't buying what the government is selling.

I don't care what anybody says, the vaccine has potential long term problems associated with it.

I didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday.

O % of PATRIOTS

[Secret Agent Man]

so what he’s admitting is the cdc will fail to reach herd immunity...

[afchief]

I bet it’s more like 80 to 90%.

These SCUMbags KNOW what’s in the vaccines!

[Adder]

You can reach herd immunity without vaccines. I think we are seeing that.

[polymuser]

ALL government staffers and employees (including pubic school teachers) and their families should have been vaccinated FIRST, before the general public.

After all, they’re the most important people among us. And they’re members of the groups pushing the vaccines on the rest of us.

[Secret Agent Man]

they all knew this beforehand

it was common medical knowledge to consider the recovered as part of that herd immunity because they fought it off naturally

but they want to push these experimental treatments on people

so they acted and talked like the vaccine was the only way to get herd immunity
