Media not following Biden messaging strategy

 Fox News:

WH condemns WaPo, NYT for 'completely irresponsible' tweets hyping COVID spread among vaccinated ' 
Unreal to not put that in context,' White House official Ben Wakana reacted to the Post
...

The Washington Post was highlighting a CDC study that focused in on a "massive" outbreak in Massachusetts among the vaccinated.

"Vaccinated people made up three-quarters of those infected in a massive Massachusetts covid-19 outbreak, pivotal CDC study finds," the Post's tweet read.

"Completely irresponsible," Wakana reacted. "3 days ago the CDC made clear that vaccinated individuals represent a VERY SMALL amount of transmission occurring around the country. Virtually all hospitalizations and deaths continue to be among the unvaccinated. Unreal to not put that in context."

I am not sure the context will make much difference to the anti-vaxxers out there.  Their opposition appears to be unrelated to the efficacy of the vaccines.  BTW, I am vaccinated and have had no ill effects from it, and think it would be wise for people to get vaccinated.  As Wakana points out the mortality rate among the unvaccinated is significantly higher than that of the vaccinated.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
