CIA director says more than 95% of officers fully vaccinated
2021-07-25
[Washington Examiner] The CIA is taking the threat of COVID-19 seriously.
"Vaccinated", not "Vetted"
William Burns, the director of the CIA, said nearly all the agency's officers are fully vaccinated roughly a year and a half into the pandemic, which is displaying signs of resurgence with the spread of the more contagious delta variant.

"Navigating through the COVID pandemic — and we're still navigating through it, although, at CIA, we have fully vaccinated more than 95% of our officers, both at headquarters and overseas," Burns told NPR in an interview on Thursday. He made the comment while talking about taking care of the CIA's own and creating more diversity in the workforce.

The figure shared by Burns is far above vaccination rates seen across the country. A total of 162,725,812 people in the United States have been fully vaccinated, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Saturday, which is 49% of the population. COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. have risen above the 600,000 mark, and there have been more than 34 million cases, according to CDC data.

#10  Is this the same Yellow Fever vaccine they gave to Hunter "No Yellows!" Biden?

#9   we have fully vaccinated more than 95% of our officers,

What do they mean by officers in this context? Is there a corresponding group of enlisted personnel? Support staff?

If they mean the people who go abroad to spy and manage spies, then the Covid vaccine is probably added to a long list of region-specific shots they’ll have gotten, including cholera, yellow fever, and tetanus.

#7  The original The Fly was a straight up tragedy. The remake was somewhat of an intellectual excursion in the last days before everything was all rayciss all the time.

#5  Well, they know vaccine doesn't contain microchips*.

*Surprised me - I thought most anti (mRNA) vaxxers are motivated by their memory of The Fly.

#3  The remaining 5% of course are top echelon people and a few freakey geeks they have identified as "required personnel."
