CDC Director Refers To ‘Pregnant People.’ Social Media Blasts Her.

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, ignoring the fact that only biological women can get pregnant, referred to “pregnant people” on Wednesday, as she recommended women who are pregnant get the coronavirus vaccine, triggering outrage on social media.

Walensky tweeted, “The rise in cases, vaccine hesitancy, and the increased risk of severe illness for pregnant people make vaccination against #COVID19 more urgent than ever. Read why @CDCgov recommends that pregnant people should be vaccinated against COVID-19.”
