GOP Lambasts Departing Walensky Over CDC’s COVID Misinformation

Members of Congress on Tuesday grilled the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines, whether the agency colluded with social media companies to suppress speech and a host of other topics.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, who is stepping down from the agency at the end of the month, testified before the House Select Subcommittee on Oversight about her agency’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
U.S. Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio., chairman of the subcommittee, questioned whether the science backed up what the federal government claimed about the vaccine, specifically citing President Joe Biden’s statement, “if you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in the intensive care unit, and you are not going to die.”
