The CDC director herself was saying back in April that vaccinated people don't spread the virus.
> “Vaccinated people do not carry the virus — they don’t get sick,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Tuesday. That’s “not just in the clinical trials, but it’s also in real-world data.”

- patwolf 5y agoAt least I was right about the CDC lacking credibility.
- jfengel 5y agoYes, but you also said a wrong thing. Therefore you lack credibility and nobody should ever listen to you again.
- wyldfire 5y agoWalking back statements because they're untrue/unverified/exaggerated/unqualified shouldn't necessarily remove your credibility. But doubling down on falsehoods definitely should. Science is the pursuit of knowledge and we can always conduct a new experiment that reveals inaccuracies or invalid conclusions from yesterday's experiment.
- uoaei 5y agoThere has been an apparent turn in the present culture-war-type rhetoric to distrusting people because they admit their mistakes, but somehow heaping more praise on those who double down on their falsehoods. Really curious how that comes about.
