New Documents Reveal CDC Head Lied About ‘Vaccine Breakthroughs’
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky assured the public that Covid-19 vaccines conferred immunity, even while admitting to ‘vaccine breakthroughs’ in private emails.
Bombshell documents released last week under a Freedom of Information (FOI) request reveal that a top United States health bureaucrat knowingly lied to the public about the failures of Covid-19 injectables.
On March 29, 2021, speaking on MSNBC, Director of CDC Rochelle Walensky infamously declared, “Our data from the CDC today suggests that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don’t get sick, and that it’s not just in the clinical trials but it’s also in real-world data.”
We now know that behind closed doors, Walensky admitted her claims were false.
Walensky was Aware of ‘Vaccine Breakthroughs’
Two months earlier, on January 30, 2021, Walensky sent an email to CDC colleagues acknowledging the problematic existence of “vaccine breakthroughs” — instances in which people injected with the Covid-19 product were indeed getting sick and carrying the Wuhan virus.
“Dear all, I had a call with Francis Collins this morning and one of the issues we discussed was that of vaccine breakthroughs,” she wrote in her email titled ‘Vaccine breakthroughs’.
“This is clearly and [sic] important area of study… Should we discuss? What is the best next step forward?” she continued.
Turns out this was a big fat lie. Walensky was privately discussing breakthrough infections right at the start of the "vaccine" rollout in January 2021.
(notice also that Covid origin fraudsters Collins and Fauci were entangled in this and then lied about it)

Importantly, Walensky concluded the email by stating, “Francis is also discussing with Tony,” in reference to then director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Francis Collins and then director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Anthony Fauci.
A Public Disinformation Campaign
During the same period, as reported by the Daily Declaration, Collins and Fauci were using evangelical leaders to spread Covid propaganda, including to push for government vaccine mandates.
U.S. President Joe Biden, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla and business magnate Bill Gates were among the other high-profile leaders to publicly repeat the claim that the Covid-19 injectables would provide immunity to those who took them.
The latest revelation adds to a growing picture of Western governments using disinformation to persuade an already-fearful public into compliance with lockdowns and injection mandates.
The promise that the Covid-19 injectables would keep people safe from infection, transmission, hospitalisation and death was used to great effect in Australia’s states and territories, until Australians learned otherwise. As the double- and triple-jabbed fell ill, demand for the products plummeted and up to 20 per cent of the nation’s stockpile ended up in the bin, according to The Guardian.
Walensky’s Lies Go Viral
The revelation about Walensky’s dishonesty set social media platforms alight.
March 29, 2021. Rochelle Walensky, Director of CDC, infamously declared on MSNBC: "Vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick."
New emails obtained by FOIA from Jan 30, 2021 now show that Walensky knew this was a lie at the time she said it.

Stanford School of Medicine professor Jay Bhattacharya called the revelation “stunning.” He criticised Walensky for pushing injection mandates despite knowing the products did not confer immunity.
Bhattacharya also called out the CDC for “abusing its FOIA redaction privilege,” by concealing Walensky’s emails from the public even though they were not classified communications.
Footage of Walensky’s public lies from 2021 was re-circulated, garnering millions of views on Twitter.
A Loss of Trust in Public Health Institutions
Writing for the Washington Examiner, journalist Jack Elbaum mourned the loss of trust in public health agencies as a result of fibs like Walensky’s:
The Biden administration tried to impose a vaccine mandate on employers, thousands of people were fired from their jobs, and there was a time when unvaccinated people were not even allowed into restaurants in some of the country’s largest cities.
And it was all based on a lie.
There must be a substantive reckoning within our public health institutions and government more generally in the aftermath of the pandemic. From vaccines to masks to schools to economic aid, it seems that each aspect of the pandemic was accompanied by its own set of lies and distortions. There is a reason trust in our institutions has taken such a hit in recent years.
If those in charge do not, at some point, recognize what they did, commit not to do it again, and actually act differently next time they are in a similar situation, then institutional trust will continue to get worse.
Walensky, Collins, Fauci and other public health officials have greeted the latest revelations with silence.

“Bombshell documents released last week under a Freedom of Information (FOI) request reveal that a top United States health bureaucrat knowingly lied to the public about the failures of Covid-19 injectables.
On March 29, 2021, speaking on MSNBC, Director of CDC Rochelle Walensky infamously declared, “Our data from the CDC today suggests that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don’t get sick, and that it’s not just in the clinical trials but it’s also in real-world data.””
Where is the big revelation here, when this was done and dusted at the time? As was reported at https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/546234-cdc-reverses-statement-by-director-that-vaccinated-people-are-no/
“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is clarifying claims made by the agency’s director that people vaccinated against COVID-19 will not become infected with the coronavirus or spread it to others.
In an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow earlier this week, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky cited a study from the agency released Monday that found people who received both doses of both Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccine were 90 percent less likely to be infected with the virus.
“We can kind of almost see the end,” Walensky told Maddow. “We’re vaccinating so very fast, our data from the CDC today suggests, you know, that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don’t get sick, and that it’s not just in the clinical trials but it’s also in real world data.”…
…The CDC later told the Times Walensky was speaking broadly during the interview.
“It’s possible that some people who are fully vaccinated could get COVID-19. The evidence isn’t clear whether they can spread the virus to others. We are continuing to evaluate the evidence,” a CDC spokesman told the Times.
The CDC study found the two mRNA vaccines prevented 90 percent of infections two weeks after patients received the second of two doses, including asymptomatic and presymptomatic infections. Following a single dose of either vaccine, the participants’ risk of infection dropped by 80 percent. ”
And it was also reported at the time of the approval in a media release by the FDA (https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-takes-key-action-fight-against-covid-19-issuing-emergency-use-authorization-first-covid-19) that the FDA and Pfizer both reported that transmission was an unknown factor:
“The vaccine was 95% effective in preventing COVID-19 disease among these clinical trial participants with eight COVID-19 cases in the vaccine group and 162 in the placebo group. Of these 170 COVID-19 cases, one in the vaccine group and three in the placebo group were classified as severe. At this time, data are not available to make a determination about how long the vaccine will provide protection, nor is there evidence that the vaccine prevents transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from person to person. ”
Besides, as Dr Tom Frieden, a former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, tweeted at the time, “It’s rare for ANY vaccine to completely protect against infection or to eliminate transmission. Covid vaccines are no exception, but they ARE extremely safe and remarkably effective—especially against severe illness.”

So, when there is a clarification two days later by the CDC, why is this story being beaten up again over two years later? After all, in the article the writer quotes from, it also makes the point: that “After all, COVID-19 vaccines certainly saved many, many lives and reduced the severity of infection for many more” yet ignores that reality in attempting to make a case against mandates and lockdowns, claiming that the “real scandal” is this beat up.
Seriously, there IS a case to be made against mandates and lockdowns, but dredging up a non-issue like this from over two years ago is definitely not that case! To claim that mandates and lockdowns are wrong because somebody fudged the figures on transmission rates, and especially when it was corrected two days later, is to commit a genetic fallacy, that lockdowns and mandates are wrong because of what Walensky did is a fallacy.
Benjamin thank you for this piece. I also think, along with Bhattacharya, that this revelation is ‘stunning’. But sadly, very sadly, even tragically, the mainstream media seem incapable of being ‘outraged’ or ‘stunned’.
And on another level, vast swaths of the population can’t or won’t hear this. Its as if they have been inoculated (no pun intended) to be ‘un-stunned’ by such revelations.
Sadly this all comes on to the stage when 2+2 no longer = 4. We have lost all sense of what is right and wrong. Now all that matters is what we are told is right and wrong.
Sorry that was a bit of a rant! But you get my point!
Good to be in agreement with one who is so committed to truth and, so able to communicate this in the written word . Thank you Jim T.
The link you post by The Daily Dec and Kurt M from a year back is stunningly prophetic . Couldn’t help but make comment there . Now back to continue reading your amazing article.
Benjamin thank you. May Our Lord continue to bless you and those you love.
