The Highwire with Del Bigtree - WOEFUL WEEK FOR THE CDC & WALENSKY

Episode Date: August 25, 2022

After 3 years of confusion, contradiction, and bad policy-making, CDC Director Rochelle Walenksy M.D., has announced ‘sweeping reorganization.’ This, coming on the heels of an announcement that the beleaguered agency’s Covid guidance no longer differentiates between the Vaccinated, and the Unvaccinated. What is really going on?#CDC #RochelleWalenskyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

A lot of you are totally dedicated to the high wire you watch no other news on the planet. But if you did happen to turn on your television sets this morning, there is only one story everyone is talking about. And so are we? It's this. This morning, a sweeping reorganization of the CDC is underway after the agency's director offered a stunning rebuke of its COVID response. The CDC is planning a major overhaul of how that agency operates. Big shakeup at the CDC, or at least that's what they say, is going to happen. Here's CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, quote for 75 years. CDC and public health have been preparing for COVID-19, and in our big moment, our performance did not reliably meet expectations.

My goal is a new public health action-oriented culture at CDC that emphasizes accountability, collaboration, communication, and timeliness. Dr. Rochelle Walensky is now calling for fundamental change to restore the public's trust. We learned some hard lessons over the last three years, and as part of that, it's my responsibility, it's the agency's responsibility, to learn from those lessons and do better. It wasn't that they acted too sparingly. The problem was that they acted too quickly and not based on science. Well, it's a shocking story, not shocking to us here at the Highwire, because this is what we're telling you all along. The CDC's a disaster.

They've got it dead wrong, and they've had it dead wrong the whole time. But really, when we look at this story, I suppose, because we're going to be going to be able to, say, oh, great, they're finally admitting it, but they're admitting it for one reason. They don't want an investigation. They want to investigate themselves. This is essentially like buying a house that was just built and finding out that the doors don't open, they get stuck in the jam, the windows are leaking water, the roof is blowing off, and every time there's rain, your walls are filling with water, and you've got mold everywhere, and now the same people that built that house said, wait a minute, we're going to fix it.

I mean, what kind of shakeup is there going to be when it's being driven by, you know, Rochelle Walensky, Tony Fauci, all of these other people that have created the very problem we find ourselves in the middle of. I mean, this is a joke. It's been a joke from the beginning, except that millions of people have died because of the mistakes made by these people. And I'm right there with Rand Paul. Don't think this is going to be a shakeup where all of a sudden they'll do what's right, which is actually listening to all the other scientists around the world, like the Jay Batacharias and the Peter McCullas and Dr. Robert Malone, who have had this right from the beginning. You want to shake it up? How about bringing in every doctor that called this exactly

right from the very beginning instead of all the doctors that got it wrong inside the CDC, the FDA, and the WHO? That's the only way we shake this up. That's the only way we make sure that we don't have our lives destroyed again by these same group of idiots. Rand Paul is right. They are not going to ultimately say, oh, you know, we made a mistake. We should have been more open to science from around the world and more open to looking, you know, to different universities for their opinions instead of our own. Instead, I assure you that this shake-up is going to try and figure out how they lock us down better. Mark my words out of this. What they'll say, the big mistake was they didn't act soon enough. They didn't act hard enough. They didn't bring in essentially martial law to make sure that

nobody could move or breathe. That is not going to be the answer. And it'll go in direct defiance to what really all of this is on the back of, which is the new CDC guidelines. It's just came out last week. This is what they're now recommending to all of us. Those exposed to the virus are no longer required to quarantine. Can you believe this? If you're around people that are sick, don't worry about it. Go back to work, go back to school, forget about quarantining at home. Unvaccinated people now have the same guidance as vaccinated people. Oh wow. Finally, they're admitting, I suppose, that being unvaccinated and having caught the viruses the same as having had the vaccine, although it's not the unvaccinated have much better immunity.

Students can stay in class after being exposed to the virus. So we're not really worried about schools. We're not worried about teachers, any of that. Go back to business as usual. Forget that there's a virus out there. And it's no longer recommended to screen those without symptoms. We're giving up on the entire fear-driven basis of the asymptomatic carrier being the greatest threat to the world.

You know, this is, I suppose, comes with some sort of bittersweet feeling for me. In one hand, we have been right from the very beginning. This is exactly what we said on the highway from the beginning. It's what the great Barrington Declaration declared that you will not be able to stop this virus, that locking us down will cause far more harm. And by the way, don't be under some impression that the reason they're relaxing all of the COVID guidelines is because COVID has gone away. Because if you go to the CDC website, it pops up on my Facebook all the time,

I want to see the graph that talks about how much, there we go. Here's the infection rate in this country. 80.2% of counties in the United States of America are still at a medium to high transmission level. So they didn't wipe it out. They didn't get rid of this virus. They didn't end this pandemic. They're doing what I was telling you from the beginning,

which is essentially just saying you're just going to have to learn to live with it. And to understand these guidelines and how they got it wrong, let's go to the new health czar for the United States of America. Listen to this genius. CDC guidance sort of relaxes a lot of the restrictions we've had tells us that there's a really new way of thinking about who is going to get infected. We used to spend a lot of time talking about six feet of distance, 15 minutes of being together. We know, we realize that's actually not the right way to think about this. That's not the kind of

the most accurate way to think about this. Absolutely unbelievable. Here's where we're at, folks. It's where we're always at. It's not like they were going on the science that existed. They changed science as we know it. From the dawn of man, we knew that natural infection was how all viruses stopped, that ultimately people, especially with an illness that had a very low death rate, you're going to have to let the healthy people catch it so that we could eradicate the disease through what was called natural health, natural immunity. Well, we have destroyed that with the vaccination program. Now the vaccinator catching this virus over and over and over again. I think they're on booster four, five, six, whatever it is, it's not working. But this is the issue. And though

we have been attacked in the news mercilessly. I can't tell you what it's like to have to watch the CDC saying, we made a mistake after all they've been trying to do is censor us. All that they did was shut down all of the great doctors and the conversations around the world. All they did was deny us the life-saving treatments that were available, that were being used by doctors and having massive success. They didn't support them.

They took those tools out of their hands. It's an absolute disaster. It's a debacle. It's a disgrace. And perhaps it's all about politics, which is all that this show is about today. But I'll tell you what, when I look at the new guidelines, I want to send them to the New York Times, the Washington Post, and media matters, all those articles that were written about me,

and say, you know what? Sure sounds like they're saying, it's time to catch this cold, which is what I said in the beginning. It's a common cold for 99.74% of us. the non-pharmaceutical-dependent people. So here's what we do. Let's go outside. Let's take off our mask. We're not on drugs, and we don't need to be on drugs.

Let's catch this cold. Boy, I can't tell you how much heat I caught for saying that. It's the quote that will follow me the rest of my life. And now I'm happy about it because that's the new CDC guidelines. Stop standing six feet apart. Stop worrying about how many people in the room. If you've been around infected people, don't worry about it. Go back to work.

Go back to school. You know why? Because there's no stopping this. You can't hide from a virus.
