'I Don't Want My Staff Educated,' Marjorie Taylor Greene Tells CDC Boss In Exasperating Exchange

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Tuesday she didn’t want her staff educated after Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky offered to clarify the reporting procedure on COVID-19 vaccines for Greene’s team. (Watch the video below.)
It was basically an interrogation intended to humiliate Walensky in front of a House committee. The anti-vaxx lawmaker interpreted data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, to baselessly suggest that an inordinate amount of Americans died from the shots, and suffered miscarriages and stillbirths.

Greene blathered on about vaccine makers Pfizer and Moderna reaping fortunes. She facetiously asked Walensky, who leaves her post at the end of the month, if she planned to join the board of either company “because you’ve done one hell of a job at making sure that they’ve made a lot of money.”
Walensky kept her cool, noting that she could not address the economics of the vaccines because the CDC didn’t purchase them. But she did want to shed light on VAERS. Walensky said the data includes any adverse event that happened to someone after they received a vaccine. That includes being hit by a truck.

But Greene pressed on.
“You did nothing about that and continue to push vaccines,” Greene said. “That’s what the American people care about.”
“We review all of the things that come into the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. I’d be happy to have our staff educate your staff on the matter,” Walensky replied.

“I don’t want my staff educated,” Greene snapped. “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 ‘safe and effective.’”

Texas Judge Halts FDA Approval For Abortion Pill Mifepristone

In a massive win for opponents of abortion rights, a Texas judge ruled on Friday that the U. S. Food and Drug Administration’s 2000 approval of abortion pills was unlawful.

Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk ruled that the FDA “manipulated and misconstrued” certain parts of the drug approval process in order “to greenlight elective chemical abortions on a wide scale.” Throughout the decision, Kacsmaryk used anti-choice rhetoric including terms like “unborn child,” “chemical abortion” and “abortionist” to describe medication abortion, a safe and effective regimen used for nearly 60% of all abortion and miscarriage care in the U. S.

The ruling does not go into effect for seven days, giving the Biden administration time to appeal. Scroll below to read the decision in full.

In the first footnote of the 67-page document, Kacsmaryk explains why he believes using the term “fetus” is inaccurate while the terms “unborn human” or “unborn child” are appropriate, citing an anti-choice book titled “Embryo: A Defense of Human Life.”
“Considering the intense psychological trauma and post-traumatic stress women often experience from chemical abortion, this failure should not be overlooked or understated,” Kacsmaryk wrote in the decision.

Kacsmaryk’s statement echoes frequent claims of anti-choice advocates who believe that abortion harms women’s mental health and that many women regret their decision to get abortion care. But, according to the Turnaway Study, which followed 1,000 women over 10 years and analyzed the long-term effects of abortion access, abortion does not harm women’s mental health, and 95% of women who have abortions said their decision was the right one for them.
