Rochelle Walensky, MD, MPH, is the director of the Massachusetts General Hospital’s Division of Infectious Diseases and a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
Walensky worked in HIV/AIDS research and is regarded as one of the nation’s foremost authorities on virus testing, prevention, and treatment.
In addition to his work on the COVID-19 pandemic in Massachusetts, Walensky conducted research on vaccine delivery and outreach strategies for underserved populations.
This may be the reason why Joe Biden was instructed to select Walensky as the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The director of the CDC, who is leaving at the end of the month, testified before the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Tuesday. It was likely her last appearance before Congress.
The House Republicans gave Walensky a harsh farewell.
Senators of the Republican Party interrogated Walensky vigorously throughout the entire meeting because they had grown weary of her contradictory and deceptive claims regarding the efficacy of vaccines in preventing the spread of COVID-19.
Rep. Jim Jordan questioned Walensky, and she responded that her statements regarding the efficacy of vaccines were generally accurate.
“CDC Director Rochelle Walensky Says Her Vaccine Effectiveness Claims Were ‘Generally Accurate’
“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.””

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene questioned Walensky in an equally direct manner about her professional objectives after departing the CDC.
“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 Pfizer or Moderna because you’ve done one hell of a job in making sure that they’ve made a lot of money,” Greene questioned.

Perhaps the most memorable exchange of strikes during the hearing took place before the formal proceedings began. Former Green Beret and attorney Ivan Raiklin contested Walensky’s claims directly.
“Hey, Dr. Walensky. I really look forward to you testifying about your involvement in the deaths of 38,000 Americans due to the jab,” Raiklin said sarcastically.
“One of the key future Nuremburg 2.0 defendants who committed EUA Product genocide enters the room. Listen closely.”

A COVID-19 epidemic occurred during a conference sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) earlier this year.
In April, over 1,800 CDC employees and others gathered at a hotel in Atlanta, where the CDC is headquartered, to discuss epidemiological research and strategies.
More on this story via The Republic Brief:
Several attendees informed conference organizers that they had come up positive for COVID-19 on April 27, the conference’s final day. In an effort to determine the proportion of guests who had tested positive, the CDC and the Georgia Department of Public Health conducted a survey of registrants. CONTINUE READING…
