The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Friday defended unilaterally overruling a panel of experts on which populations should be allowed to receive COVID-19 vaccine booster shots.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, a Biden appointee who currently directs the CDC, accepted three recommendations on boosters from the agency’s advisory panel. But she rejected a recommendation not to allow boosters for 18- to 64-year-olds who are at a higher risk of being exposed to COVID-19 because of their job or living situation, even though some panel members said that could be interpreted to mean virtually anybody.
“I didn’t overrule an advisory committee,” Walensky told reporters during a virtual briefing about 12 hours after she overruled the panel.
Members voted unanimously to recommend boosters for everybody 65 and older and overwhelmingly for people 50 to 64 who have underlying medical conditions like obesity. The vote narrowed to 9-6 on a motion to advise the CDC to recommend shots for people between the ages of 18 and 49 who have similar medical conditions.
A lengthy discussion then ensued on the final motion, with a majority of members rejecting it. Some said there wasn’t nearly enough evidence to support allowing people with certain jobs and living situations to get a booster. Others said that healthcare workers and other so-called frontline workers who are exposed to more people on a daily basis and who live with high-risk individuals or people who cannot get a vaccine, like a child, should be allowed to get boosters.

In my lay opinion, the Karens of this world can always benefit from another jab.
Every six months would be best.
There is no defense.
the Dictator from MGH imposed mandates for pregnant
and breastfeeding women to take CDC-patented
nanomaterials, graphene, HIV-HepC-GainOfFnxVirusBioWeapon
even though it kills at least twice as many
people as it might help.
... might help. when it does not work, this
CDC product’s failure is blamed on those who dont use it.
The only reason to force pregnant women to submit to it would be because you want them and their unborn babies to die.
Money speaks. Follow the money, jobs, perks, insider trading, stock options, etc to Walensky and extended family.
Can you feel the love ????
Like the Roman Empire...
Rotting from within...
Do these "doctors" of bureaucracy not even pay attention to what they say?
Booster of The Month Club.
The more people I just do not trust try to get me to do something the less I’m gonna comply.
And to think, this is supposedly America. If you don’t do what the government tells you to do, they will take away you’re livelyhood.
Sooner the better. No country can survive 3 more years of this and America was already on life support after the fortified elections.
JUST SAY NO
The CDC is working for Biden, and Walensky is working directly with Biden.
This vaccine mandates and overruling of the CDC panel, is all about working to keep the promise made by Biden to eradicate Covid-19, come hell or high water. It’s also about having something to point to for helping democrats running for congress next year. IOW, it’s all political and not about helping people to stay alive or healthy. It’s impossible for Biden and democrats to care less, since it’s all about keeping power and advancing the cause of socialism. They aim to control everything, including the people and the economy and all governments (federal, state, cities, countries, etc).
If Biden and democrats get away with their drive for control, there won’t be a U.S. worth living in.
Control. The CDC is Fauci’s little fiefdom.
I love it; hey name was Karen Croake. Karen croaked, along with her hubris
Medical tyranny must stop.
Period.
First do no harm? Don’t make me laugh.
