(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Journalist Hans Mahncke has unearthed new documents that directly contradict public statements made by CDC Director Rochelle Walensky on the justification for federal mandates on COVID-19 vaccines.
One email — dated January 30, 2021, and obtained through a Freedom of Information Act investigation — shows Walensky discussing COVID-19 “breakthrough cases” shortly after the vaccines were pushed on Americans. The damning email implies that vaccinated individuals could still spread the virus.
In the email, Walensky specifically claimed, “I had a call with Francis this morning and one of the issues we discussed was that of vaccine breakthroughs.” Later in the email, which remained private until Monday, she added, “Should we discuss? What is the best next step forward? Francis is also discussing with Tony.”
The email strongly suggests that former NIH Director Francis Collins and COVID Czar Anthony Fauci were looped into the Big Lie, and continued to push a false narrative that vaccines could end the pandemic.
In public appearances, Walensky praised the COVID vaccine, falsely claiming that it prevented vaccinated individuals from spreading the virus originating from communist China. Two months after the email she inaccurately stated that those who received the vaccine did not “carry the virus” and could not “get sick.”
Just last week, during a congressional hearing, House Oversight Committee James Comer, R-Ky., confronted Walensky about her dubious claims. Comer asserted, “The vaccine did not stop spread or infection. I am not saying it was completely bad but it did not stop the spread or infection.”
Despite being challenged, Walensky remained steadfast in her lie, arguing that the early data and published literature in the New England Journal supported the idea that vaccinated individuals did not transmit the virus.
She claimed, “If I could actually just correct that point, and that is initially it did, for the Wuhan strain and for the Alpha strain all of the early data and literature published in the New England Journal demonstrated that for those who worked if you did not get infected that you were not transmitting to other people.”
The revelation of the bombshell email has led to swift condemnation from Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor of medicine at Stanford University, who expressed his outrage, stating, “Stunning FOIA revelation! Three quick items: 1. @CDCgov director Walensky knew about vax “breakthrough” infections in January 2021. So did Tony Fauci. 2. They continued to push vax mandates anyway.”
Stunning FOIA revelation! Three quick items:
1. @CDCgov director Walensky knew about vax "breakthrough" infections in January 2021. So did Tony Fauci.
2. They continued to push vax mandates anyway.
3. CDC is abusing its FOIA redaction privilege. This is not a classified email. https://t.co/PhFFCKhRh0— Jay Bhattacharya (@DrJBhattacharya) June 20, 2023
