Some highlights from the Walensky video in this thread, with subtitled transcription.

Walensky laughs at the idea of the CDC providing one-size-fits-all health guidance "nobody goes to the CDC guidance to say can I have the fries at Shake Shack today." But she asserts this is what the public WANTS from COVID guidance.
Walensky says she wanted to be helpful when she saw on CNN that the vaccine was 95% effective. Nobody said waning or asked about the next variant. Science is gray.
Walensky suggests forever masking in health care settings and claims we learned masks stop colds because she hasn't had one.
Walensky licks her finger and places it in the air while referring to expert opinion as evidence.
"The rejection of evidence in this moment, I certainly hope that's not long-term."
The irony is rich.
Walensky's explanation of corona eclipsing all other health harms is the cases/deaths counter "on the right side of every news screen."
She watches too much CNN.
