The comment was made by former freestyle skier and five-time Olympian Jacqui Cooper, following a jump by Chinese aerial skier Yan Ting during a qualifying run.

Top government doctors — including the Surgeon General, Secretary of Health and Human Services, and acting head of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — found this lack of vaccination so alarming that late Thursday afternoon they offered a joint briefing on the matter.
