But also real world data seems to me there are a number of statements you make in there that aren’t accurate um do vaccinated people carry the virus in March of 2021 um the vast majority of data demonstrated that the vast majority of people were not getting infected if they
Were vacc what you said you didn’t say the vast majority of people you said vaccinated people do not carry the virus was that accurate uh it was generally accurate generally accurate why not just be accurate why not just tell the American people the truth why don’t say
Why don’t you say to the American people just what you said to me we’re big boys and girls we pay your salary the government is supposed to be of the People by the people for the people why not just tell us the truth uh I was
Speaking six weeks l later when you said if you were to get infected during postvaccination you can’t give it to anyone else was that accurate uh what was the date of that May 19th 2021 um at the time we had the Wuhan strain and then the alpha strain that was the alpha
Strain that was circulating that was generally true yeah generally true again why not again why not tell the American people this is generally true um I couldn’t tell you the exact data on the vaccine effectiveness of symptomatic disease and severe disease at the time what I can tell you is that we generally
Saw that if you were to get infected after you had been vaccinated that you were not carrying the virus by transmitting it to somebody else you could not transmit it to others but we know that’s not accurate it was at the time now what happened yes in May of
2021 what that was H that was true for the alpha variant what what happened let me ask you about all the general statements that were made to the American people not General statements the way you guys said it you said was it our tax dollars were our tax dollars US
In the lab in in China uh that is something that you would have to speak to ni about our tax dollars were used uh it it sure looks like it was gain of function research it sure looks like it actually came from the lab and we’ve had several agencies
Federal agency say that’s in fact where the virus originated the Biden administrators told us that the vaccinated couldn’t get it we know that’s not accurate the the Biden Administration told us the vaccinated couldn’t transmit it they told us Mass work and they told us there was no such
Thing as natural immunity that seems to me to be what seven different statements that turned out not to be true that we got from this Administration again why not just tell the American people the truth um so I would dispute some of what you just said in October 2021 CDC
Released a scientific brief highlighting all of the science that was out there on infection induced immunity and there I I don’t know the long list that you I don’t remember all the long list but there are numerous areas where we have provided science um and the science
Review to to provide data to the American people as soon as we had it I actually think what happened is you actually tried to be honest with the American people and the Biden Administration shot you down you remember when you said this in February this is before before you made these
Statements which I think are not uh not being square with the American people you said vaccination of teachers is not a prerequisite for safely reopening schools did you make that statement uh something to that effect I can’t exactly say the quote but yeah vaccinations of teachers is not a prerequisite for
Safely reopening schools I think you made that statement on February 3rd um do you do you stand by that statement um at the time yeah I that we we had an uh a week later or 10 days later we had an operational guidance that demonstrated layered mitigation strategies that you
Could safely re were you speaking as were you speaking as Dr bolinsky or were you speaking as Dr bolinsky head of the CDC um I have said that while I’ve been in front of Congress and the media um in press conferences I during my tenure as CDC director I’ve been speaking as the
CDC director but that’s not what the White House said right uh jinaki said Dr wilinsky spoke to this in her personal capacity do you remember that statement I do uh who’s right jinaki or you well I will tell you that I was speaking in my
My um the CDC looks to me looks to me like what happened is in February you said I’m going to be honest with the American people I’m going to give it to them straight vaccination of teachers is not a prerequisite for safely opening schools and the Biden Administration
Hung you out to dry they said nope she ain’t talking for us she ain’t talking as a head of the CDC she’s talking as Dr wilinsky and then a month later you said well you know what I better not be totally honest with the American people
So I’m going to say vaccinated people do not carry the virus and they don’t get sick and everyone like wow know someone who been vaccinated and they’ve gotten sick afterwards I think what happened is you try to be honest and they said no and then you said well I’m going to have to
Hedge a little bit I’m going to have to give the American people misleading statements from the head of the CDC you were speaking as head of the CDC in both situations right I have said I’ve been speaking as the head of the CDC all the time yeah well it have been nice if
You’d just been honest and straightforward with the American people every single time throughout this uh throughout this virus with that I yield back I have stood by my commitment to tell the American people what I know when I know it thank you I now recognize Miss Green from
Georgia for five minutes of questions thank you Mr chairman uh Dr Winski you’re coming to the end of your tenure as the CDC director uh which you started in January of 2021 and we heard you say today that the covid-19 vaccines are safe and effective
But what I’d like to talk to you today about is the 1.5 million Vees reports that also reported 35,000 deaths uh associated with the covid-19 vaccine and this has been what many Americans feel like a largely ignored issue they feel like the CDC has completely ignored the
Reports they feel like you as the CDC director have completely ignored their reports and I’d like to talk about that a little bit um in 2020 20 it was late 2020 when fizer’s uh covid-19 vaccine was approved and there were co9 vaccines were the second highest reported that was over 10,000 but in
2021 when vaccines were mandated it was a federal mandate in September 9th of 2021 federal employees and contractors were required 90% of the 3.5 million uh people employed or contracted under the federal government got at least one dose of the vaccine vaccine cards were widely required in Democrat run cities all over
The country basically to become a member of society and in 2021 covid-19 reports skyrocketed to number one at 7288 129 reports second was the zoster shingles vaccine at just over 14,000 that’s a massive number and the numbers kept growing and growing and growing on the vs report I’d also like to talk to
You about how much money the American taxpayers were forced to pay fiser and Mna for vaccines the government paid fiser and Mna in 2020 2021 and 2022 fiser received $15.27 billion madna received $9.99 billion doll and boy did they get a return on the American taxpayers Investment because fizer amazingly in
20122 got a 23% increase but in 2021 they doubled their income doubled their income at a 95% increase in Revenue that’s absolutely impressive thanks to the American people but it was madna who whose numbers were astounding madna incre increase their revenue in 2020 had a 1,238 per increase in Revenue in 2021
They got a 2,200 per increase in Revenue thanks to the American taxpayer where money got funded into these big pharmaceutical companies for these vaccines it’s quite impressive though that fiser worldwide worldwide went from it $190 billion right there towards the beginning of 2021 and skyrocketed at the
End of 2021 to $330 billion worldwide that’s quite impressive thanks to the American taxpayer and thanks to the CDC director Dr wilinsky Who said that vaccines were safe and effective I’d also like to talk to you on behalf of all the pregnant women not people as you
Call them you quoted to quote you on a August 11th 2021 CDC encourages all pregnant people it’s women by the way who are thinking about becoming pregnant and those breastfeeding to get vaccinated to protect themselves from covid-19 this has also been ignored the amount of miscarriages and still births
That increased drastically due to your advice to get vaccinated pregnant women again not people and then we could go on and on about the tragic stories of myocarditis and many other things but my question for you today Dr winsky is now that you’re going to be leaving the CDC
Pretty soon what job are you going to take are you going to be on the board of either fizer or madna because you’ve done one hell of a job at making sure that they’ve made a lot of money um and I yield back thank you for that question
Maybe first I will comment that um CDC is not responsible for the purchase of vaccine so I can’t speak to the to all of the economics that you spoke to um I will do want to talk a minute about the vaccine adverse um reporting vaccine adverse event reporting system so that
System is intended for any person who has gotten a vaccine if they have an untour event after that vaccine whether or not is related to the vaccine they report it is intended to have an over reporting all of the VAC not all most of the vaccines that were being given
Remember we we gave 676 million doses of that the vaccine any adverse event if you got hit by a truck after you got your vaccine that was reported to the vaccine adverse event Reporting System we at CDC have a responsibility to comb through every single one of them to
Review the medical charts and to see if they are related it is the case that the vaccine doesn’t prevent being wsky I’ll reclaim my time you did nothing about that and continued to push vaccines that’s what the American people care about we review all of the things that
Come into the vaccine adverse event Reporting System I’d be happy to have our staff educate your staff on the want my staff educated you should educate the American people about what you’ve done of 1.5 million reports because they feel like you’ve done nothing and continued to say safe and effective um maybe I
Will just close by saying um I don’t have plans after I uh step down thank you I now recognize muda from
