Watch Sean Hannity Get Fact-Checked By CDC Director On Live TV

As coronavirus cases continue to surge across the nation, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky joins MSNBC's Ari Melber to discuss the rise in breakthrough cases, the need for booster shots and coronavirus safety fatigue. Walensky also addresses the misinformation perpetuated by conservative politicians and pundits like Fox News' Sean Hannity, asserting "my job is to give accurate information to the American people. Here is the accurate information: the vast majority of people in this country who are getting infected with COVID, who are showing up in the hospital with COVID and, now, who are dying with COVID, are people who have not received this vaccine."

How many republicans does it take to screw in a because it's something too bright for them to grasp.

[gratefuljr]

Why does everyone at Fox News have to be vaccinated before entering their building?

[equious]

If Hannity said less overall, the world would be a better place.

[rgwak]

Going to Hannity for news? Y'all might as well go to The Onion! 😅😂

[michaelcunningham]

Hannity has blood on his hands for that statement.

[Retrracin]

It's amazing the lengths at which people will go to to reject facts and science.

[cattlecorner]

She can heal you just with her smile.. Good Doctor. Right person for the right

[JohnSmith-lkfg]

Question for anti maskers. Would have a problem being operated on by a mask-less surgeon?

[jocktulloch]

So nice to hear an actual doctor/scientist speak, as opposed to a TV personality with an axe to grind who's turned the pandemic into a political issue.

[blancodiablo]

I want to wish all the level headed parents that have to send their kids into the front line, good luck to you all. They all deserve better than what we are giving them 🤙

[KB-svfm]

I miss the days when Jon Stewart used to embarrass Sean Hannity by pointing out all his lies.

[hostileterritory]

I think I woulda had a stroke if Dr. Walensky, with a straight face said "F*** Sean Hannity".

[sandra]

I think its funny how Texas governor has gotten a 3shot and regeneron to fight covid

[afeomun]

OMG she is so professional and intelligent and direct to the point, its wonderful to see Adults running the government now

[jamesmcclure]

One anchor has a medical expert who took an oath to keep people safe, and the other has a politician with a dog in the race if he wants to keep his job....not really hard to choose.

[YYY-GUY]

Boosters are a reasonable mitigation strategy for extra protection - not only from Delta, but whatever other variants emerge over time through Republican stupidity.

[jimkonen]

All part of the GOP's "Loyalty to stupidity" campaign. An amazing feat to get people to question their own common sense. If they have any, of course.

[kevinsantich]

Ofcourse he's getting fact checked by the people who know what they're talking

[almostthere]

Each state has their claim to fame: AZ - The Grand Canyon, CA - The largest Redwood trees. AL, TX and FL: The largest collection of red hats and the fullest hospitals.

A great report from Ari Melber. He saved lives today. Thank you. Stay safe.
