from Uncover DC:
Dr. Rochelle Walensky stated several times that the mRNA vaccines were protective and prevented the spread of the SARS2 virus during an oversight hearing with the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on June 13. Specifically, she repeatedly asserted that the vaccinated people do not carry, get sick, nor do they spread the virus.
Citing a March 29 interview with Rachel Maddow, Rep. Jim Jordan asked Walensky why “she didn’t tell the truth” she began to stumble. She then backtracked and adjusted her response, saying, “It was generally true at the time.”

Jim Jordan holds Rochelle Walensky accountable:
“You said vaccinated people do not carry the virus.”

It seems, however, that Dr. Walensky’s memory may not serve her well because she actually told Maddow on March 29, 2021:
“[N]ow we know that the vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every vaccinated person. A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus. The virus does not infect them. The virus cannot then use that person to go anywhere else. It cannot use a vaccinated person as a host to get more people. That means the vaccines will get us to the end of this. If we just go fast enough to get the whole population vaccinated. It’s huge news.”
The full excerpt of her statement from the Maddow interview is pictured below:
Contradictory Statements and Studies
A substack entry compiled by “Kelly K” attempts to document the mixed messaging from government officials on the effectiveness of vaccines, much of which contradicts Walensky’s statements. Three days after the Maddow interview, multiple sources contradict Walensky’s statement on vaccines.
On April 1, a CDC spokesperson contradicted her in a NY Times article, saying, “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.” Eleven days later, Fauci himself said, “Breakthrough infections in the vaccinated were inevitable.” On April 15, the CDC announced: “5800 fully vaccinated people caught COVID anyway.” You get the idea.
It was disturbing to hear Walensky’s conviction about the effectiveness of the vaccines, given the fact that it is presently well-established that the mRNA vaccines were not always protective against severe disease and hospitalization, nor did they prevent the spread of disease. Walensky has the same access to the studies and information as we do. However, let’s give her the benefit of the doubt and limit the search to data that speaks to her favorite Alpha variant talking points.
It doesn’t take long to find at least one study from August 2021 by André Julião for Agência FAPESP. The study specifically states, “Two outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 caused by transmission of the Alpha variant show that even people who have been vaccinated can spread the virus and fall sick with COVID-19.” This particular study shows mixed results regarding protection from severe disease and death. “[A]n 84-year-old resident with Alzheimer’s manifested symptoms of COVID-19 (later confirmed) 21 days after taking the second dose of the vaccine,” according to the results of the study.
