Crimes against humaniry.

The director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and several other top officials knew in early 2021 that vaccinated people were becoming infected with COVID-19, according to an email obtained by The Epoch Times.
CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told colleagues in the Jan. 30, 2021, missive that she had spoken with Dr. Francis Collins that morning “and one of the issues we discussed was that of vaccine breakthroughs.”
“Breakthrough” refers to vaccinated people becoming infected.
“This is clearly and [sic] important area of study and was specifically called out this week here,” Walensky added, providing a link to an editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
In the editorial, immunologist John Moore and vaccine inventor Dr. Paul Offit said that there was a “growing threat” of COVID-19 variants emerging that would “escape” the protection bestowed by COVID-19 vaccines, which had been authorized in December 2020.
Early testing, they noted, found that antibodies conferred by Moderna’s vaccine were less active against one of the new variants that had emerged.
Moore and Offit called for testing of vaccinated people who were hospitalized with COVID-19, the creation of a national sequencing program to quickly identify new variants, and the development of a repository of samples taken from vaccinated people.
Walensky said she’d discussed the matter a few weeks prior with Dr. Nancy Messonnier, another top CDC official. “I understand that [redacted],” Walensky wrote to Messonnier and three other CDC employees.
“Should we discuss? What is the best next step forward?” she added.
Collins, at the time the director of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, was discussing the matter with Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the chief architects of the U.S. response to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Walensky.
The email was included in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. Requests for records from around the same time seeking what top U.S. officials were saying about breakthrough cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are pending.
Walensky did not respond to a request for comment that also asked for an unredacted version of the email. Collins did not return an inquiry. Fauci could not be reached. The CDC said it was looking into when it first became aware of breakthrough cases.
Walensky a few months after the email went onto MSNBC and claimed that data from the CDC and clinical trials “suggests that vaccinated people do not carry the virus” and “don’t get sick.”
The CDC has been unable to provide citations supporting the claim. No vaccine is 100 percent effective, experts have told The Epoch Times. There were infections in both the Pfizer and Moderna clinical trials among the vaccinated, though the efficacy of the shots against symptomatic infection from seven days after dose two was estimated to be north of 90 percent. There were also severe cases in the trials among the vaccinated, including some not counted by Pfizer.
The trials were not designed to measure efficacy against transmission and did not provide evidence of such efficacy, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
“The paper that Walensky discussed with Francis Collins explicitly worried about the possibility of ‘breakthrough’ infections caused by variants. It even addressed a variant circulating outside the U.S. that the authors could not say was causing breakthrough cases in January 2021,” Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor of health policy at Stanford University, told The Epoch Times in an email.
“Given that uncertainty, the CDC director should never have endorsed the idea that the COVID vaccines could be used to stop COVID disease spread without definitive proof that they did—proof that she never had. And she should never have endorsed vaccine mandates for a non-sterilizing vaccine,” he added.
Fauci and other top officials had, in 2020 before the email, backed harsh measures during the Trump administration to try to curb the spread of COVID-19, including the forced closure of businesses and schools.
Bhattacharya co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration, which called for the United States to largely rescind restrictions on healthy people and focus on protecting vulnerable populations. Walensky, not yet the CDC director, then co-signed a competing declaration called the John Snow Memorandum said there was no evidence of sustained post-infection immunity and called for keeping the current strategies in place.
Fauci and Walensky were also among the officials who supported vaccine mandates that were imposed by President Joe Biden’s administration in the fall of 2021. And Fauci that year claimed on CBS that people who received a vaccine would “become a dead end to the virus,” adding, “when there are a lot of dead ends around, the virus is not going to go anywhere.”
Daniel Halperin, an adjunct professor at the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, told The Epoch Times that the newly revealed email confirms top officials knew about the prospect of breakthrough cases becoming more prevalent.
“It further calls into question why officials claimed that people who get vaccinated not only are protecting themselves but are also virtually immune from getting infected or transmitting the virus to others,” Halperin said in an email.
Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.), a doctor, told The Epoch Times via email that the officials were “deliberately misrepresenting what they knew to the American people,” adding that he would “continue to fight for transparency and accountability so that the mistakes and abuses of the last three years are never allowed to happen again.”
Both Fauci and Walensky later became infected with COVID-19 despite being vaccinated. The government said the officials experienced mild symptoms. Both took Pfizer’s Paxlovid pill for treatment and eventually recovered.
Walensky has in recent months claimed that her statements in early 2021 were correct. Asked for citations for the claim, Walensky’s press secretary Jason McDonald provided four studies, including two published by the CDC’s quasi-journal. None found 100 percent protection against symptomatic infection or transmission. Walensky has acknowledged that vaccinated people, as newer variants emerged, could transmit COVID-19 and experience symptoms.
CDC Information on Breakthrough Metrics
Walensky and Fauci did talk about breakthrough cases about two weeks after the email.
They said on Feb. 17, 2021, that early data on new variants indicated they were more transmissible and said their agencies were working with state and local officials to investigate breakthrough cases.
“Investigations of vaccine effectiveness, individual breakthrough infections, and the ability of postvaccination serum to neutralize novel variant viruses are important components of monitoring the effectiveness of vaccination in controlling COVID-19 in an arena of evolving viral variants,” they wrote in an article in the same journal the Offit and Moore piece was published.
In a forum on the same day, Walensky acknowledged the trials did not show 100 percent effectiveness.
“As we start seeing these cases of and surveillance of vaccine breakthroughs, is it because it was one of the 5 percent that we expected would happen if we only have a 95 percent efficacy? Or is it because the breakthroughs that are happening are because of some more—because of a variant that is out there, that has the capacity to evade the vaccine?” she wondered.
Some states reported breakthrough cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in early 2021. The CDC did not start providing them until April 15, 2021. The agency said at the time that 5,814 people who had received two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, still tested positive. Nearly 400 of them were hospitalized and 74 died.
The numbers later climbed higher, though vaccine proponents said they provided proof of the effectiveness of the vaccines because they were such a small percentage of the vaccinated.
The metrics typically were only counted from 14 days after the final dose of a primary series. Trial data and observational data have shown that the vaccines don’t work well in the initial days after administration. And people who became infected but not tested were not counted.
The CDC changed its definition of “vaccine” in 2021 after people noted the COVID-19 vaccines were increasingly not protective against infection.
The effectiveness against both infection and severe illness has dropped considerably as newer variants have emerged, with waning recorded during the Delta variant era. Since Omicron emerged in late 2021, there have been signs that the vaccines make people more susceptible to illness. The CDC currently recommends all unvaccinated people get at least one dose of the unproven bivalent vaccines, and that some vaccinated people get an additional shot.
Crimes against humaniry.
Which is why there's never been a vaXXXine developed for a coronavirus. They mutate.
What about all those people you killed with ventilators and then blamed it on COVID ?
Why the hell is that redacted? Congress should haul wolensky down their to explain it.
Everyone, and I mean everyone, I know got Covid-19, 2-3x; with 2 longtime friends/employees dying in 2020.
I got the vaccines, flu and boosters, but didn’t go to any crowded places — no bars, strip clubs, farmers’ markets etc, so I escaped it.
Fair disclosure:
• Pfizer Covid & Flu Shots:
1st Pfizer - Mar 6, 2021 (EN6206)
2nd Pfizer - Mar 27, 2021 (EN8733)
2021 Fall Flu Shot - Aug 26, 2021
3rd - Pfizer Booster - Nov 2, 2021 (FE3590)
4th - Pfizer Booster - July 20, 2022 (FM0173)
2022 Fall Flu Shot - Nov 4, 2022
This is like airplane mechanics declaring airplane crashes “breakthrough cases”.
It is called negligence or sabotage.
There is nothing “breakthrough” about it.
Here is my vaccine list for the last five years:
Zero.
None.
Zilch.
No way.
COVID was once and done for me. No jabs.
You always have a choice no matter what your condition.
I have only one answer to the vaccine question:
“No”
I don’t care what my “condition” is.
If they want to jab my corpse I can’t stop them—but until then the answer is “just say no”.
Truths:
Vaccine doesn’t prevent COVID.
Vaccine doesn’t prevent getting very sick from COVID.
Vaccine doesn’t prevent transmission of COVID.
Vaccine is associated with many reports of serious illness, clots, heart inflammation, and death.
Pfizer, Moderna, etc got extremely rich off these vaccines, with zero liability.
And by ‘vaccines” I mean experimental, hardly tested, rushed into production, mRNA gene manipulations that deposit trillions of spike proteins into the human body.
No effects whatsoever from the jabs I got, and one RN told me that the initial shots were “saline solution”, not flu vaccines.
As I said, NO MORE.
I took none of the poison and escaped it all. Including the flu and common cold.
Just a marketing tool for the new “vaccine”.
And out of our extended family and friends (30+) here in the Houston area, only two got the vaccine, both because of job requirements.
And they are the ONLY two who got CoVid.
Twice each.
My wife and I are in our mid-70s and pretty healthy. We didn't isolate, went out regularly, and only wore masks when we had to.
We went to Wal-Mart every week along with other shopping. Didn't make any effort to avoid crowds, etc.
So far, so good.
Yep. One of those people they killed was one of my oldest and dearest friends.
They knew vaccines can’t limit coronaviruses when they started vaccinating animals back in the 1990s. The coronaviruses blow right through it.
>Yep. One of those people they killed was one of my oldest and dearest friends.
The vaxxine killed my grandmother. WAVES, served in WWII, was about to hit 100 years old.
“My wife and I are in our mid-70s and pretty healthy. We didn’t isolate, went out regularly, and only wore masks when we had to.”
I only isolated from those places mentioned, but went out every day, and only wore a mask in places — like Wellspan Medical Center, Rite Aid Phatmacy etc — which had posted signs. At 73, I’m pretty healthy since my 2017-2018 serious medical episodes.
