CARLSON: “On Friday morning, 'The Washington Post' ran this headline: 'Vaccinated people made up three quarters of those infected in a massive Massachusetts Covid-19 outbreak, pivotal CDC study finds.' 'The New York Times' writing a similar piece. Again, it was based on numbers from the CDC. And yet just minutes after those articles appeared, the White House panicked. A senior member of its COVID-19 response team, a man who is not a doctor but instead a career flak called Ben Wanaka, jumped on social media to attack the media and, in fact, attack the administration’s own scientists. Here's Wanaka's message to 'The New York Times' on Twitter over the weekend. He wrote it in all caps, as if he was shouting: 'Vaccinated people do not transmit the virus at the same rate as unvaccinated people, and if you fail to include that context, you are doing it wrong,' he barked. He went on to call 'The Washington Post' coverage of it irresponsible and he added this: 'Let’s be clear. If 10 vaccinated people walk into a room full of Covid, about nine of them would walk out of the room with no Covid. Nine of them.' But is that true? Ben Wanaka, the one who is not a doctor but instead a flak, did not provide a citation for that statistic. In fact, judging by the CDC’s own numbers it appears to be wrong. In other words, it is classic misinformation. Possibly Russian in origin. And yet strangely, Ben Wanaka, who knows much less about science then, say, Alex Jones, was not banned from the Internet. He just kept tweeting. And then a few hours later, he got back up support from Rochelle Walensky herself. 'The vaccine works,' Walensky shouted. In fact, it works so well you may soon be forced to get it."
