Marjorie Taylor Greene lashes out at CDC director: 'I don't want my staff educated'
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) battled CDC Director Rochelle Walensky on Tuesday about the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.
During a House Oversight Committee hearing, Greene asked the CDC director about the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
"And in 2021, COVID-19 reports skyrocketed to number one at 728,829 reports," Greene said. "And the numbers kept growing and growing and growing on the VAERS report."
"The amount of miscarriages and stillbirths that increased drastically due to your advice to get vaccinated," she claimed. "But my question for you today, Dr. Walensky, is 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 at making sure that they've made a lot of money."
Walensky pointed out that the CDC was not responsible for the purchase of vaccines.
"I do want to talk a minute about the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System," she continued. "It is intended to have an over-reporting... Any adverse event, if you got hit by a truck after you got your vaccine, that was reported to the vaccine adverse event reporting system."
Greene interrupted.
"You did nothing about that and continue to push vaccines," the lawmaker charged.
"We review all of the things that come into the vaccine adverse event reporting system," Walensky explained. "I'd be happy to have our staff educate your staff on the work."
"I don't want my staff educated!" Greene exclaimed. "You should educate the American people about what you've done of 1.5 million reports because they feel like you've done nothing and continue to say [the vaccine is] safe and effective."
