Itโs Been One Year Since the CDC Director Uttered This Lie
4 Apr 2022
CLAY: Buck, I couldnโt help but notice that we have basically hit the one-year anniversary now of CDC director Rochelle Walensky saying vaccinated people donโt carry the virus and cannot get it or spread it. Letโs listen to this clip a little bit over a year ago. This is the end of March last year. I feel like we need the little twinkle sound where we go back in time. But this is CDC director Rochelle Walensky. I donโt know, Buck, if people are ever going to trust the CDC again. I know that I canโt, personally, because of everything that they have gotten so wrong, including this.
One year ago the CDC director told you that if you got the covid shot you would neither get nor spread covid. By the fall, they will be on fifth shots. And you will still get able to get and spread covid even after five shots. pic.twitter.com/b2J4qijiJm

BUCK: Obviously thatโs like, โStep on a rake, slip on a banana peel, belly flop in the pool,โ as wrong as you can be in a statement of fact about a vaccine, right?
CLAY: Yes.
BUCK: This is absurd. But itโs not surprising. Think about it: How longโฆ? When she says, โLook at the data,โ how much data did they have? She says, โLook at the real-world trials.โ How long did those last for? How many months of this? If you had said at the beginning of the vaccine a year ago whenโฆ This is really when it was getting rolled out to everybody, right?
April of 2021 was when, all of a sudden, the vaccine was available for so many folks, right? The seniors had had it a little while longer. But, Clay, if you had said, โHow can they know how effective this is and over what period of time when theyโve had such a short time to do any testing?โ youโre an anti-vax, anti-science grandma killer.
CLAY: Yes.
BUCK: But it was the most obvious thing imaginable, right? I mean, when you actually go back and think about it, how much time could they really have had to study and look at data. The answer was โvery little, actually.โ
CLAY: When did we have Alex Berenson on in studio with us with us in New York City? Was that late July, early August? It was right before he got banned.
BUCK: I think so. I think it was July. Weโd have to ask the team here. Weโve been having him regularly on the show since, what, June of 2021? When we started.
CLAY: Since we started. Yeah, and my point on that is we were one of the first big shows, I would say, out there. Both of us before we started doing this show. But the data even when she was saying that at the end of March, Buck, the data from Israel and the data from England was already flashing big, red warning signs. Remember, Biden went on as soon as July and said, โOh, if you get the shot; youโll never get covid. Youโre never gonna have to worry about it at all.โ
And, Buck, theyโre on four now, shot four. Theyโre gonna be on shot five by the time we are talking to everybody in the fall. When your kids go back to school for the new fall year, they are gonna be talking about people over the age of 50. Theyโre gonna be saying, โHey, go get your fifth covid shot,โ in the space of, what, like 17, 18 months? Itโs wild to think about.
BUCK: And the people that even six months ago were saying, โYouโre not gonna have to get a lot of shots. Just get the shot! Why you so irresponsible?โ All the hysterics around that, when some of us were saying, this is gonna be shots forever. We go back, when was the first time, โWe said fully vaccinated is no longer a thing because youโre always going to be temporarily vaccinatedโ?
CLAY: Thatโs right.
BUCK: I think we started saying that in October or November of last year, and itโs true. And the people who were wrong about everything are never apologetic, never admit they were wrong. They just go on to the next Fauciite consensus talking point.
CLAY: Well, and what they say, Buck, and itโs so infuriating is, โNobody ever said that if you got the shot were never gonna get the virus or be able to spread it.โ Yeah, they did!
BUCK: Thatโs exactly what they said.
CLAY: We just played you the clip of them saying it. They just moved the goalposts and claimed it had never actually been said.
