Now, with Pandemic Panic Theater finally fading, a CDC conference with nearly 100% vaccination rate gets hit by a massive outbreak.
A COVID-19 outbreak unfolded at a conference held by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention despite most attendees being vaccinated.
About 1,800 CDC staffers and others gathered in April in a hotel in Atlanta, where the CDC is headquartered, for a conference focused on epidemiological investigations and strategies.
The CDC and the Georgia Department of Public Health worked together to survey attendees to try to figure out how many people had tested positive.
Approximately 80 percent of attendees filled out the survey.
The CDC said the survey results "Underline the importance of vaccination for protecting individuals against severe illness and death related to COVID-19" because none of the people who said they tested positive reported going to a hospital.
About 8 percent of American adults are still unvaccinated, according to CDC data, though that percentage may be a big overestimate.
