Walensky effectively said the CDC didn\u2019t know. However, in a later interview, when asked about vaccinated individuals who died, she said \u201cThe overwhelming number of deaths, over 75%, occurred in people who had at least four comorbidities. So, really, these are people who were unwell to begin with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walensky also admitted that COVID-19 vaccines do not prevent transmission, despite the continued messaging that getting vaccinated will stop the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n<p>The Media Reacts<\/p>\n<p>While some members of the media are helping to support the changing narrative, there are others who are pointing out that institutions like the CDC are collapsing in terms of public trust.<\/p>\n<p>A few months ago, for example, the idea that the vaccines were having an impact on women\u2019s menstrual cycles was widely rejected as a conspiracy theory, but multiple news outlets are now reporting new studies which show strong evidence that they do.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-328075\" class=\"size-full wp-image-328075\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Tayfun-CoskunAnadolu-Agency-via-Getty-Images2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2022\/01\/Tayfun-CoskunAnadolu-Agency-via-Getty-Images2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2022\/01\/Tayfun-CoskunAnadolu-Agency-via-Getty-Images2-300x200.jpg 300w\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-328075\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tayfun Coskun\/Anadolu Agency\/Contributor via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) NYC To Allow 800,000 Noncitizens To Vote<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Topline: More than 800,000 \u201cnon-citizens\u201d living in New York City will now be able to vote in local elections, making New York the first major city in the country to allow non-American citizens to vote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>NYC Voting Measure&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The city\u2019s new measure will allow those who have been \u201clawful permanent residents of the city\u201d for at least 30 days to vote in the mayor\u2019s race, city council races, and other local elections. They still won\u2019t be allowed to vote in statewide or federal elections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Non-citizens, including some illegal immigrants, green card holders, and \u201cDreamers\u201d make up roughly one in nine voting age New Yorkers.<\/p>\n<p>New York City Mayor Eric Adams previously hinted that he might veto the legislation, but ultimately allowed the measure to pass on Sunday when the 30-day veto window expired. He issued a statement saying while he \u201cinitially had some concerns\u201d about the bill, he believes the law will \u201cbring millions more into the democratic process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each Side<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of the bill \u2013 mainly progressive Democrats \u2013 say everyone living in the city, including noncitizens, should have a say in who controls the government. They argue that because permanent residents and green card holders pay some form of taxes and are involved in the local community, they should be entitled to a vote, whether they\u2019re an American citizen or not.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Opponents of the bill \u2013 mainly Republicans \u2013 say the bill is illegal. They point out how the constitution says the right to vote belongs only to \u201ccitizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Even some Democrats have opposed the measure because of the constitutionality argument. Councilman Kalman Yeger (D) from Brooklyn said \u201cIt\u2019s unconstitutional under state law. It\u2019s very clear. We do not have the legal authority to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some states, including Arizona, Alabama, Colorado, and Florida have already passed laws preemptively restricting non-citizens from voting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-328076\" class=\"size-full wp-image-328076\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AlessVatican-PoolVatican-Pool-Contributor-Getty-Images.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2022\/01\/AlessVatican-PoolVatican-Pool-Contributor-Getty-Images.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2022\/01\/AlessVatican-PoolVatican-Pool-Contributor-Getty-Images-300x200.jpg 300w\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-328076\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">AlessVatican Pool\/Vatican Pool \/ Contributor \/ Getty Images<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Pope Francis Addresses Cancel Culture And Vaccine Policies<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Topline: Pope Francis made headlines with statements he made about cancel culture and COVID-19 vaccines on Monday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0v31LqTRgYk&amp;ab_channel=VaticanNews-English\">Quote Of The Day:<\/a> \u201cUnder the guise of defending diversity, it ends up canceling all sense of identity with the risk of silencing positions that defend a respectful and balanced understanding of various sensibilities.
