The statement made by Centers for Disease Control Director Rochelle Walensky on Aug. 6, asquoted by Tamworth's Dave Mitchell in his letter of Jan. 7 titled "Jerry, vaccine does not prevent transmission," does not contradict my statement regarding the need for vaccine mandates in the health-care setting in my recent column.

Walensky’s quote was spread as disinformation on anti-vaccination websites and social media. It was disinformation as the quote was removed from its context and used to make false statements about COVID vaccines.
