Despite this knowledge, President Joe Biden issued an executive order in September 2021 mandating millions of federal workers to be vaccinated by November 22, 2021, and called on the private sector to encourage vaccination. The Washington Examiner has criticized the administration's coercive measures, which resulted in thousands of people losing their jobs, as being based on a lie.
The emails show that Rochelle Walensky, the outgoing director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, discussed breakthrough cases with then-National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins in a January 30, 2021 email. Walensky referenced a scientific article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which indicated that mutations in the virus had been found to reduce the efficiency of mRNA vaccine-induced antibodies in neutralizing test viruses in the laboratory.

The article also outlined steps for handling cases of vaccinated individuals admitted to the hospital with COVID-19. Walensky, who herself contracted COVID-19 multiple times despite being fully vaccinated, also mentioned that Collins had discussed breakthrough cases with former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci.

The email was addressed to several CDC personnel, including Daniel Jernigan, then-director of the influenza division; Nancy Messonnier, then-director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases; Henry Walke, director of the division of Preparedness and emerging infections, and then-principal deputy director of the CDC Anne Schuchat.

Despite privately discussing breakthrough cases and referencing studies indicating the vaccines' waning efficacy, Walensky stated on MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show" in March 2021 that "vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick, and that it's not just in the clinical trials but it's also in real-world data."

A CDC spokesman later walked back Walensky's statement, acknowledging that fully vaccinated individuals could contract COVID-19 and that the evidence was unclear as to whether they could spread the virus to others. Walensky also discounted warnings from an agency advisory panel about the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine booster shots and recommended them anyway. She told a Senate panel on May 19, 2021, that vaccinated people who got infected "can't give it to anyone else," according to the Epoch Times.

Biden has repeatedly emphasized the importance of vaccination, stating in October 2021 that active-duty military and healthcare workers must be vaccinated to protect patients seeking care. In a December 14 WHIO-TV interview, he also claimed that "this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated," suggesting that getting vaccinated would prevent the spread of the disease to others.

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford School of Medicine professor and Great Barrington Declaration proponent, called the revelation about the disconnect between what the Biden administration knew and what it conveyed publicly "stunning." It remains unclear how much earlier the administration knew the COVID vaccine did not entirely prevent transmission or infection.
