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.

Fauci's fixer David Morens: "I learned from our foia lady here how to make emails disappear after I am foia'd but before the search starts, so I think we are all safe." zaob78xab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Hh…
Foia lady is "an old friend, Marg Moore, who leads our FOIA office and also hates FOIAs."
Morens deleted all emails related to origin "when the sh-- starting hitting the fan."
Huge Senate votes tomorrow on @RogerMarshallMD bill to terminate the COVID national emergency (how many of the 12 Dems who voted yes for identical bill in November will flip??) and @SenCapito bill to ban Biden's insane WOTUS rule that lets EPA/Army Corps call anything a wetland.
I am told @DjokerNole doesn't want a waiver; he wants the ban lifted for everyone.
Why does Old Joe still have this insane policy in place, when his own CDC said NPIs should not differentiate based on vaccine status back in August??? cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…
If @DjokerNole changes his mind about coming to the US before Biden ends his ban, there is an easy way to get to Miami: take a ferry from the Bahamas, which violates neither the CDC/FAA air travel mandate nor the DHS land/ferry mandates, which are specific to Canada and Mexico.
