Biden Administration Refuses To Reveal How Many Vaccinated Staff Members Have Gotten COVID

After announcing that an aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and a White House official have tested positive for the coronavirus, The White House has gone on the defensive. President Biden's administrative team, including press secretary Jen Psaki, are refusing to release the total number of vaccinated staff who have contracted the virus. And Psaki can't understand why the American people would want that information.

During Friday's White House briefing, Psaki sidestepped direct questions about the total number of infected staff and asked why a reporter needed that information:

“As many medical experts have said, inside and outside of the government, those who are vaccinated are protected from serious illness," Psaki said, when asked about cases within The White House. "Most are asymptomatic if they are individuals who are vaccinated."
