On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky would not give numbers on cases and hospitalizations that would prompt the CDC to not recommend wearing masks and stated that it’s “possible to have 95% protection from hospitalizations and still have a lot of breakthrough infections if most of your population is vaccinated.”
After playing a question from a viewer [relevant exchange begins around 4:40] about when we will get beyond mask mandates and, if other variants emerge, “at what percentage of cases of hospitalizations do you not recommend wearing masks?” Host Bret Baier asked, “Let me just put a finer point on it, we started this whole thing with trying to stop the spread and we were going to flatten the curve to prevent hospitals from being overrun. But now it does seem, Dr. Walensky…that we are trying to kill this virus entirely, and can you just answer his percentage point question?”
Walensky responded, “I think it’s really important to recognize that, as we think about the absolute number of people who are getting infected, that is related to the number of people who have disease, the number of people who are vaccinated, and how well those vaccines work. So, it is actually quantitatively possible to have 95% protection from hospitalizations and still have a lot of breakthrough infections if most of your population is vaccinated.”
Baier responded, “But is there a normalcy? I mean, is the next variant just around the corner, and is that something that we’re always going to be on this stop and start with putting masks on or not?”
Walensky answered, “So, I want to just articulate that this was not news that I expected the American people to welcome. This weighed heavily on me to have to do this. But I will also say that this virus has been humbling. I was taking care of patients a year ago. I joined the CDC six months ago. And the science continues to change, and while that is neither simple nor easy to convey, it is my responsibility to keep the American […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
