ATLANTA, GA — CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky held a press conference to warn the public about a deadly new "stealth" COVID-19 variant that causes negative test results and causes no symptoms. "This deadly variant has bypassed our most sophisticated tests by ingeniously becoming harmless to the human body," said Director Walensky, "It is estimated that eight billion people have caught this variant. We must prevent it from spreading further by closing schools and locking up kindergarten children." The CDC director's guidance to close schools and stem the tide of this "stealth" variant is backed by data that has been...

On Friday’s broadcast of NPR’s “Morning Edition,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky responded to a question on whether the handling of schools during the coronavirus pandemic was a failure by the CDC by stating that she was “not in the CDC when schools were closed.” And that “starting in January 2021, I have said, and continued to say, schools should be the first place to open and the last place to close.” After Walensky talked about her review of the agency’s response to the pandemic, host Steve Inskeep asked, [relevant exchange begins around 3:30] “I know you want to look...

A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) committee on Thursday recommended updated COVID-19 vaccine boosters for people 12 and older, helping clear the way for a fall campaign for the shots. Once CDC Director Rochelle Walensky gives the final sign off, which is expected soon, the vaccinations can begin.

COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness for all age groups has been much worse against the Omicron virus variants than earlier strains, particularly the currently dominant subvariants, according to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data presented on Sept. 1. The data, much of which has never been published before, shows that the protection against both symptomatic infection and severe disease is not as strong against the Omicron, which emerged in December 2021, and its subvariants. Data from the CDC’s Increasing Community Access to Testing, a no-cost testing program, showed that vaccine effectiveness for a booster compared to a primary series...

Vaccines are taking an average of 5 months to kill people The CDC has been hiding the Social Security Administration death master file. I got it from a whistleblower. This shows deaths are taking 5 months from the jab to happen. This is why it's hard to see. Steve Kirsch 32 min ago Executive Summary We’ve always assumed the vaccine kills you quickly (in the first two weeks) because that’s when people notice the association and report it to VAERS. This is still true; it does kill some people quickly. However, most of the deaths from the vaccine are happening...

This week Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and President Joe Biden’s chief medical advisor, announced he will be retiring at the end of the year. While Fauci’s federal career is coming to an end, congressional oversight of his efforts to possibly conceal the origins of COVID-19 is just getting started. The American people have many questions for Fauci, and we are determined to get answers. For the past two years, Republicans on the House Oversight and Reform Committee have called for Fauci to testify before the committee and provide documents and information...

The CDC has admitted what was ban-worthy 'fake news' just months ago - that Covid mutated to evade current vaccines which were created for the original strains, after nearly 40% of the people hospitalized in the US with Omicron were vaxxed and boosted.As Bloomberg reports, from the end of March through May, when omicron BA.2 and BA.2.12.1 subvariants were the dominant strains, weekly hospitalization rates for all adults spiked, with those over 65 suffering the worst - though it should be noted that total omicron hospitalizations were far lower than when the delta variant was the dominant strain last fall.Of...

Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is getting credit for a mea culpa for saying what seems obvious: “For 75 years, the CDC and public health have been preparing for COVID-19, and in our big moment, our performance did not reliably meet expectations,” This is a classic act of contrition theater, in which Walensky avoids taking any responsibility for the agency’s failure to understand the threat the nation faced or the CDC’s unfounded “guidance” regarding how to slow the spread of COVID, measures that the agency now acknowledges are flawed. It is not a...

[Video] HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -- Want to live longer? Living in Hawaii may help. A new study published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr71/nvsr71-02.pdf says Hawaii residents still live the longest compared to the rest of the nation. The CDC compiled data from 2020 and analyzed life expectancy for each state and the District of Columbia. Hawaii had the highest life expectancy: 80.7 years. Life expectancy in the U.S. declined overall from 2019 to 2020, mostly due to the coronavirus pandemic and drug overdose deaths. Overall, life expectancy in the U.S. declined by 1.8 years. Life expectancy in...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky responded to a question on whether coronavirus lockdowns went too far by stating that she doesn’t “want to re-visit the question of lockdowns that predated me.” Host Neil Cavuto asked, [relevant exchange begins around 3:35] “Director, do you think the lockdowns went too far?”

asks are returning to the Skyline Drive. Citing high community transition rates of COVID-19 in and around the Shenandoah National Park, officials say they will follow National Park Service policy and CDC guidance by requiring face masks be worn in all Shenandoah National Park buildings. The ruling takes effect Monday, August 22, 2022. “We monitor local community levels and respond when transmission levels are high,” Park Superintendent Pat Kenney said. “The trigger to require masking is when the majority of the counties that the park resides in move into high transmission status.” The CDC community levels are released weekly and...

In August 2021 Science Magazine, a peer-reviewed academic journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, highlighted groundbreaking research out of Israel that upended the public health establishment. The research, which relied on a database enrolling some 2.5 million Israelis and was led by Tal Patalon, head of the KSM Research and Innovation Center at Maccabi Healthcare Services, and deputy Sivan Gazit, found that previous infection from Covid-19 conferred considerably stronger and longer-lasting protection against the Delta variant than vaccines. “The newly released data show people who once had a SARS-CoV-2 infection were much less likely than never-infected,...

Former White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx praised the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for its rare admission of missteps in how the agency responded to COVID-19."A lot of directors would have just tried to tweak [it], and tweaking the agency at this point was not going to be successful," Birx said during an appearance on "Face the Nation" on Sunday. "This is an inflection point." CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky last week ordered a "reset" of the agency, which will focus on creating a faster dissemination of information and response to new health threats. Some...

It’s getting harder to keep the populace in a state of panic (and therefore attempt to justify mass mail in voting and other election security diminishments) now that Covid is following the path of most other viral epidemics. The virus evolves into a less lethal form (that doesn’t kill off the hosts, in other words) that spreads even more easily.

This week, in an unusual move rarely witnessed in Washington, D.C., Centers for Disease Control Director Rochelle Walensky ordered an overhaul of the "health" agency's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Back to Videos Director Rochelle Walensky: CDC Needs To Develop "Special Forces" To Fight Future Pandemics Posted By Ian Schwartz On Date August 18, 2022 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky told CBS News the agency needs "special forces" among their ranks that deploy during public health emergencies. Walensky's proposal for the unit comes amid a major reorganization of the agency following "some pretty public mistakes" during the COVID-19 pandemic "I think our public health infrastructure in the country was not up to the task of handling this pandemic," Walensky told CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr....

The head of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced plans to overhaul the agency Wednesday — while admitting to major “mistakes” in handling the pandemic. “For 75 years, CDC and public health have been preparing for COVID-19, and in our big moment, our performance did not reliably meet expectations,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said in a statement. “I want us all to do better and it starts with CDC leading the way,” she said of her agency’s more than 11,000 staff.

I first saw this on El Gato Malo's Substack a few days ago. This is not the way to notify the American public you were wrong. Especially on something this important.Steve Kirsch6 hr ago What happens when the scientific evidence is so clear about the spike protein from the COVID vaccines remaining in your body that the CDC has to admit they were wrong?They just delete the inaccurate statement and say nothing. Nothing! The mainstream press doesn’t pick it up at all of course. There was no press release or anything to let people know.Instead, the CDC relies on a...

Walensky is appointing an executive to lead a team that will implement changes. The CDC will also create a new executive council that reports directly to Walensky to determine the agency’s key priorities backed up by budget decisions. The agency’s science and laboratory sciences divisions, which play crucial roles in investigating and tracking public health threats such as Covid, will also report to the CDC director. The CDC is also creating an equity office to make sure agency’s workforce reflects the U.S. population and better communicates public health guidance across all groups
