Psaki Snaps At Reporter For Asking Question About Transparency

(Carmine Sabia) White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki and the Biden administration want to hide some very important numbers and they do not like being asked about it.

On Friday Psaki had an absolute tantrum when she was asked a simple question that an administration that claims to be all about transparency should have had no issue answering.

“Two questions: One, this administration has long claimed that you’re trying to be the most transparent in history.  If that’s the case, why won’t you just release the number of breakthrough cases that you’ve had of vaccinated staffers?” the reporter asked Psaki, who then did a dance around answering the question directly.

“Well, I think, first, we’re in a very different place than we were six to seven months ago as it relates to the virus.  And as many medical experts have said — inside and outside of the government — those who are vaccinated are protected from serious illness, most are asymptomatic — if they are individuals who are vaccinated who get the virus.  And, you know, we are in a different place in terms of the impact of individuals who may have, as you said, breakthrough cases,” Psaki said.

“But why not just provide the number?  Are you trying to hide something?” the reporter asked.

“No, but what is the — why do you need to have that information?” Psaki argued.

“It’s a case of transparency, in the interest of the public, knowing — having a better understanding of how breakthrough cases work here in the White House,” the reporter said.

“Well, first, there are — the CDC tracks — and let me give you this information, too: The CDC tracks, across the country, of course, hospitalizations and deaths, as we have seen.  They also do a great deal of tracking in cohorts and ensure that — so, let me give you a little more information on this, which I think — I don’t know if it — hopefully, it’s of interest,” Psaki said.

“So, the way that — because people have asked this before — so, the way the CDC is actively tracking breakthrough cases — there are tens of thousands of people across the country, in course, who are in what we are — what they call ‘cohort studies,’ which the CDC is actively monitoring,” she said.

“For example, the CDC has a long-term care facility study where it is getting data from more than 14,000 long-term care facilities.  CDC has a healthcare worker study where they monitor vaccinated healthcare workers who got tested — who get tested with PCR tests every single week.  And CDC also collects what they call “passive surveillance,” which is where hospitals provide CDC with data when they identify someone who is hospitalized but has been vaccinated.

“So, there’s a range of means our public health officials are tracking, across the country, across D.C., across any individuals here about who is vaccinated, who is getting the virus, getting hospitalized — hopefully not; it remains a small percentage,” she said.

A really long answer to basically say that she was not going to give her a direct answer to a pretty simple question.

Some people on Twitter wondered why Psaki would not simply answer the question.

“Why won’t the Biden Administration tell us how many White House staffers are now infected with the China Virus despite being fully vaccinated? What are they trying to cover up?” Charlie Kirk said.

“You have to give her an A+ in Evading Questions. Also, F- to reporters for not following up on their questions like they used to do to Mr. Trump,” another said.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
