CDC Director Refuses to Tell Senators How Many CDC Employees Have Gotten COVID-19 Vaccines

The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday declined to share with a Senate panel how many of the agency's workers have gotten a COVID-19 vaccine.

"What percent of CDC employees are vaccinated?" Sen. Bill Cassidy asked Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC's head, during a Senate Health Committee hearing in Washington.

"If the CDC doesn't have to live by the rules, why should employers have to live by the mandate rules?" Burr then asked, referring to a vaccine mandate that was unveiled by the Biden administration earlier in the day.

Cassidy said he was told that north of 75 percent of CDC employees who had worked from the agency's headquarters in Atlanta are still working remotely, which Walensky declined to confirm but also did not deny.

The CDC's director and Dr. Anthony Fauci, another top health official in the administration, were also pressed during the hearing about the administration's push to get virtually every American vaccinated against the CCP virus, which causes COVID-19-even Americans who have contracted the illness and recovered, giving them some level of immunity.

Walensky downplayed the data, claiming that the studies showing vaccines provide protection are more robust than those supporting natural immunity.

Walensky touted a recently published CDC study that was said to have determined that people who remained unvaccinated and had natural immunity were about five times more likely to contract COVID-19.
