The CDC just announced they will NO LONGER keep or release numbers on vaccine breakthroughs womanofthehills May 2021 #48

I wonder why they aren't going to release the number of vaccine breakthroughs anymore? liberal_mama May 2021 #92

Wow. I was not aware of that. Deliberate lack of transparency doesn't tend to lead to trust. Crunchy Frog May 2021 #98
