Say It Isn’t So


Earlier this week CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said, “This ‘new science’ is worrisome, and unfortunately warrants an update to our recommendations.” 

The response from almost everyone was akin to, “Say it isn’t so, Dr. Walensky.” As no one except some scattered Karens wanted to go back to wearing masks again while indoors, while vaccinated.

I wasn’t aware of any recent publication that detailed this “new science,” however it appears that  Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) was. He took issue with the data used to justify the new guidelines in a Twitter storm of sorts as follows:

“The ‘game changer’ data the CDC used for the mask mandate is from a single study from India.” (No he did not say Indiana, but India!)

“Say it isn’t so, Dr. Walensky.”

Rep. Crenshaw (R,TX)continued:

“The study was rejected in peer review. But CDC used it anyway. Remember what I said about public health officials losing our trust.”

“Say it isn’t so, Dr. Walensky … please!”

Crenshaw continued:

“The study that influenced this decision? It followed healthcare workers who were vaccinated with a vaccine NOT EVEN APPROVED IN THE U.S.

That’s right. So they’re not even using a comparable case study that can be applied to vaccinated Americans.”

“Say it isn’t so, Rochelle. Step up and respond to that one-eyed bully!”

Silence … But it gets worse!

Crenshaw still had more to say:

“And just before the new decision was made, the study’s status was mysteriously changed – it no longer listed the study as “rejected after peer review.” 

“Come on Rachel, whatever your last name is, please say it isn’t so.”

Crenshaw wasn’t done:

“The site said it was a ‘glitch.’ Pretty convenient glitch to happen just before the study was used to justify a mask mandate.”

“Rachel, we can’t hear you! Say it isn’t so; say it loud, so that all can hear.”

Still silence.

And Crenshaw wasn’t finished:

“And here is the real kicker: the Administration has NO EVIDENCE proving vaccinated people transmit the virus. Zero. None.”

“Rachel, Rochelle, say it isn’t so. Tell ‘em that it’s Trump’s fault.”
