“Dr. Wen, When?”

For those who watch CNN, the name Leana Wen is a familiar name. She is an emergency doctor and professor of health policy and management at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health. She was previously president of Planned Parenthood and has also served as a medical analyst on CNN.

In July 2021, Wen spoke to Democracy Now! bemoaning vaccine hesitancy and claiming that “we know that we can’t trust the unvaccinated.”

The health policy professor suggested to CNN’s Chris Cuomo that societal reopening must be tied to vaccination status.

She said, “We need to start looking at the choice to remain unvaccinated the same as we look at driving while intoxicated. … You have the option to not get vaccinated if you want, but then you can’t go out in public.”

Wen also stressed that mobility rights and other human liberties should be tied to vaccination status.

However! Wen has ostensibly come a long way in her thinking in a short period of time.

From BlazeMedia:

On Dec. 9, Wen wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post calling for an end to the vaccine mandate for members of the military. The so-called health expert, in another piece in the Washington Post, now admits that natural immunity is optimal and that those who are vaccinated but had not previously caught COVID-19 are more susceptible to infection.

The CNN analyst appeared to defend stances she had taken earlier in the pandemic. However, Dr. Wen noted that things and standards changed when the Omicron variant turned up.

Wen said that research has shown that vaccines’ “effectiveness in reducing infection against the omicron subvariants is low and not lasting.”

What Dr. Wen seems to be saying is that she was right before and is right now, even with opinions that appear diametrically opposed. While some may be happy to see these long-censored claims printed in the Washington Post, others have suggested that what is missing from these public confirmations is an apology.

When is Wen going to say, “I’m sorry?” … Perhaps wen hell freezes over?
