Meghan McCain explained why she doesn’t trust infectious disease bureaucrat Dr. Anthony Fauci [known as Tony Bologna on the Hill]. She said what most of us would agree with.
Co-host of The View, Whoopi Goldberg asked Meghan McCain as a Republican if she agreed with a recent poll claiming 41% of Republicans are hesitant about getting the vaccine.
McCain said the polls say it’s anywhere between 32% to 41% of Republicans who are reluctant. She thinks the number is higher based on anecdotal information from her friends.
She said, “A lot of Republicans I know are expressing skepticism about the vaccine under the Biden administration, which is why this has been so dangerous that this has become so politicized. Both sides are equally responsible for this.”
“We have people like Andrew Cuomo saying he wouldn’t trust the vaccine rollout under Trump, and I think Republicans are contrarian by nature,” McCain continued. “We are built from my very fabric up to question authority and to question big government. When big government is saying, you have to do X, Y, and Z, We’re going to question it.”
“I’m going to question it, and I think that there has been a real, real misstep with messaging from people like Dr. Fauci, which I know I’m going to get eviscerated for saying this — I don’t 100% trust him. I don’t think that he is an unbiased actor in any of this,” she concluded. “He is a government official, as Sara pointed out. I’m one of the people that feel that way about him. There have been many many opportunities to right this wrong, including President Biden going on TV and giving credit to President Trump for the help with the rollout of this vaccine which he didn’t do.”

@ DM,
Diabetes, hypertension, high BMI, morbidly obese, over 65 is the extreme covid danger zone.
I looked into it a little more and every state is different regarding vaccines for public school.
Found out you do have to have multiple shots before age 5 for Hepatitis A & B, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, in Red State, and only once for Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Chickenpox, Polio, before Kindergarten.
I agree Fauci’s a fraud. I’m 65 scheduled in my red state for covid shot on 3-31 but I’m going to cancel I don’t see the need foe ME I’m healthy have a strong immune system, eat right have a BMI of 24. I’m not in a dangerous group. Guess they’ll paint a scarlet letter on my forehead.
Many races and hyphenated groups are hesitant. It is now available for my age group in Red State and fam was all be the first on the block and I was in care factor zero ignore mode.
They said do what you want and exactly was my response.
It is not a vaccine and doesn’t make you immune to anything because you have to go back for more, a vaccine is only once.
As a lil’ guy in Red State you had to have them or go with home schooling and it usually took place in the school gym before the start of school in the fall.
When you don’t have much time to compare it with as a youngster summer vacation seemed like ages, now they start back in late July!
