Shorter Walensky: who needs science? White House politicals and the teachers unions keep me on a short leash.
I got nothing else, so here's an idiotic "vectors" claim debunked for over a year. Except even stupider now because everyone vulnerable has been offered vaccination.
And you thought you'd never miss this clown!

Teachers unions demanded closures and masks long after it had been crystal clear COVID risk to kids was near zero. Because they could (though seldom did) infect adults.
Now all the adults have been offered vaccination! Enough!
And "the CDC says" from the same entity that corrupted the February schools guidance, overruling science with politics. I mean, really???
Every age from 1 to 17 had an observed population fatality ratio of less than 1 in 100,000.
If we assume (based on latest UK estimate) that full mRNA vaccination lowers mortality 97%, unvaccinated children have mortality risk similar to vaccinated 30 year olds -- and far, far less than vaccinated older adults. 100 times lower than vaccinated 75+.
Should probably roll this back to an end date before the vaccine was available, but that would only make the point more strongly.
