U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky has tweeted following a backlash over comments she made in a television interview last week.

Walensky was criticised on social media after speaking about Omicron death statistics on ABC talk show Good Morning America on Friday, when she said that the majority of Omicron fatalities had occurred in people who already had other medical conditions at the same time—known as comorbidities.
