Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) has taken a lead throughout the Covid-19 pandemic to hold public health officials and agencies accountable if they’ve failed to provide accurate and timely information to the public for whom they work.
From masks, vaccines, and school shutdowns, to the origination of Covid-19, Johnson has been asking critical questions. However, he says he has received very few answers.
According to Johnson, Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky is one of the public health officials who has been non-compliant with his requests.
To date, Johnson says he has made eight specific requests, directly of Walensky, that have gone unanswered.
In his most recent attempt to get data, he writes:

March 1, 2022
Rochelle P. Walensky, M.D., MPH Director
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Dear Director Walensky:
Over the last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has failed to be transparent to the American people and their elected representatives. Specifically, CDC has not responded to my multiple requests for information about COVID-19. In addition, CDC has reportedly “withheld information” about COVID-19 from the public that “could help state and local health officials better target their efforts to bring the virus under control.”1 In the midst of a pandemic, it is unacceptable that CDC would withhold relevant data on COVID-19 that could inform the public and potentially save lives. Moreover, it is grossly arrogant that your agency has repeatedly ignored Congressional requests.
To date, I have sent you numerous letters requesting information about COVID-19 including records and data on the virus, school guidance, and the vaccines. For the letters listed below, you have either failed to respond or your response was significantly incomplete:
- May 19, 2021 – Requesting records relating to teachers’ unions and CDC guidance.
- June 28, 2021 – Requesting information about COVID-19 vaccine adverse events.
- July 13, 2021 – Requesting information on vaccine safety monitoring.
- July 30, 2021 – Requesting data CDC used to create a slide deck on COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness.
- August 22, 2021 – Regarding the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee meeting.
- September 15, 2021 – Requesting information on the effectiveness of natural immunity as protection from COVID-19.
- October 5, 2021 – Requesting information on early treatments for COVID-19.
- December 29, 2021 – Requesting information about vaccine lot variation data.1 Apoorva Mandavilli, The C.D.C. isn’t publishing large portions of the Covid data it collects, NY Times, Feb. 21, 2022.
CDC’s failure to respond to Congress appears to be one piece of the agency’s larger problem with public transparency. According to the New York Times, during the “[t]wo full years into the pandemic, the [CDC] has published only a tiny fraction of the data it has collected.”2 The CDC’s apparent indifference toward transparency during a pandemic is disturbing and shameful.
Throughout the pandemic, CDC and other health agencies have promoted inconsistent policies and...

They only present the material that supports the narrative. Otherwise people might misinterpret the data. Sounds like a cover up to me.
Hang the bitch, hang her high!!!!!!!
They work for Biden, 'nuff said.
Walensky and company will not cooperate until there are significant and tangible consequences, at such time they will tell all, if they have been disappeared.
