Are These the ‘Experts’?: CDC Flip-Flops on COVID Several Times In One Week

In the past several days alone, the 🏥Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has flip-flopped on several important issues regarding COVID-19.

These constant reversals in messaging have called into question the government agency’s efficacy.

Although messaging from the CDC has been mixed and inconsistent throughout the pandemic, this has especially been the case in recent weeks.

The first example of this mixed messaging was in regard to whether individuals who have received a COVID-19 vaccine can still carry the virus.

On March 30, during an appearance on MSNBC, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said vaccinated individuals “do not carry the virus.”

Only a few days later, a CDC spokesman backtracked, telling The New York Times that “the evidence isn’t clear” and that Walensky had been “speaking broadly.”

“It’s possible that some people who are fully vaccinated could get COVID-19,” the spokesman said. “The evidence isn’t clear whether they can spread the virus to others. We are continuing to evaluate the evidence.”

Additionally, after the CDC updated its guidance on travel, announcing that “fully vaccinated” citizens “can travel safely within the United States,” Walensky came forward with more mixed messaging, saying she advocates “against general travel overall,” as reported by
