Now, I’m officially confused.
Yesterday, we posted about a CNBC interview with chief political-scientist Anthony Fauci.
Fauci opined that vaccines prevent covid transmission rates … but when confronted with strong anecdotal evidence to the contrary and asked a pointed question, he conceded that the CDC lacked the data to support that conclusion … but, not to worry the data was likely coming.
New scientific method?
===============
Drilling down, the CNBC interviewer, Sarah Eisen, read to Fauci from the CDC web site:
“The greatest risk of transmission is among unvaccinated people who are much more likely to get infected, and therefore transmit the virus.
Fully vaccinated people get COVID-19 (known as breakthrough infections) far less often than unvaccinated people.”
That’s when Fauci conceded that the CDC didn’t have the supporting data.
=============
Despite Fauci’s admission that the CDC didn’t have much data on breakthrough infections, CDC Director Walensky took to the airwaves to proclaim that:
1. Though covid vaccines work “exceptionally well” against hospitalization and death, they “can’t prevent transmission anymore”. and …
=============
2. We should expect thousands of breakthrough infections, and …
=============
3. We might potentially experience several hundred thousand cases a day!
=============
So, which is it?
> Fauci says not to worry about breakthrough infections if you’re vaccinated
> The CDC web site says not to worry because breakthrough infections are few and far between
> CDC Director Walensky says to expect tens of thousand breakthroughs and hundreds of thousands daily cases … hardly “rare” instances.
It’s hard to follow the science when data is scarce … and the scientists, who are supposedly reading from the same hymnal, offer widely different “guidance”.
Confusing, right?
=============
P.S. Note that Walensky’s verbatim was ““can’t prevent transmission anymore”.
Wonder what she meant by “anymore” …
Hmmm
