Dr. Fauci On Sen. Johnson's Comments Against Vaccinations: 'We Are Dealing With An Emergency'

[spencerbrown]

Go Ron Johnson, you have my full respect for allowing people who have been vaccine injured to have a

[gfbjhdvjhgdjvhgd]

Fauci is probably one of the most evil characters imaginable, straight out of central casting, for a classic comic book villain.

[TheUnknown-yxzc]

I agree everything with senator Johnson said

[jeremyjones]

I'm more afraid of the covid vaccine than covid.

[Praxis]

He never actually addressed the question of why, assuming the vaccines are so effective, a vaccinated person should be concerned whether or not their neighbor is vaccinated.

[belkyhernandez]

That was a poor response from Faucci. He didn't answer the question. He needs to get better or they need someone else.

[robertthomas]

I wish he would of answered the actual question

[manuelabigvava]

Senator Johnson you are heroe, people trust you, and God have plans to him 🙏💕👏

[jockyoung]

Politicians should be required to take a science test. Their ignorance is dangerous.

[kolesiikahihifo]

Damm I think to get a job in the Senate or House of Representatives, you don’t have to be smart, you just have to be a clown.

[duanebarry]

Remember! If anyone dare question the party line about vaccines, you can always respond that 560, 000 Americans have died from/with COVID. That should immediately shut down any discussion.

[flangekiwi]

567, 000 dead ... IN ONE YEAR.

That's definitely an emergency

[kevinfernando]

I like how Dr. Fauci is always so politely savage .

[davedee]

If you thought getting rid of Trump would be enough, you forgot about the others that bought into the danger policies.

[brendanmanwaring]

All he means is get the elders and high risk vaccinated, with the vaccines that are available now, then the young after.

[Swnsasy]

I'll say it again, kids 16 and under, the variant is effecting them and it's up 21% plus kids want to go to school and adults work there!!

[deborahfreedman]

Right, because a guy with a BA in business is the expert on any public health measures. Why can't Johnson stay in his lane? He's not an expert, and his opinion doesn't matter.

[shannonbloom]

So when did Johnson get his medical degree?

[candidaprout]

I am surprised. I wish you the best my Americans friends. I had two shots of the moderna vaccin and I am very happy I did it. My husband the same. I believe that I will help others around me. So be well and safe all of you

[SFolkes]

Dr. Fauci, you are an incredibly patient man.
