Senator Burr asked Fauci, Peter Marks from the FDA, and @CDCDirector
what percentage of their own employees are vaccinated.

Fauci probably a bit more than half, around 60%.

Marks said about the same.

Walensky dodged the question.

If someone wanted the vaccine, fine, I am glad they took it.

If someone doesn't want the vaccine, they should know they are NOT the stupid, uneducated, selfish, unscientific conspiracy theorists the media would have you believe vaccine hesitancy people are.

In normal times, a person who said:

“I am going to wait until the FDA fully approves this new product before I consider using it/injecting it into my body”

would be considered reasonable.

Nothing is normal about these times

A lot of people don’t trust the FDA. All of those acceptable potential side-effects, like death, with some of the medications out there. Or you can breathe better, but also be wetting yourself, and endangering your kidneys, because of meds.

I’m not sure why you mention “trumpets” in replying to me. My comment had nothing to do with politics.

Leftists are already on record as REJECTING THE VACCINE..including Kamala Harris on national tv.

Leftists...including you have no faith in science at all. They talk a good game but when reports about mortality rates of covid-19 are published by the CDC, they reject them. When the CDC published rates at which mask wearers caught covid-19..about 85% positive rates, leftists reject the CDC report.

You don't know a damned thing about a covid 19 vaccine altering DNA...neither does anyone else. A total pipe dream.

[b]The covid 19 vaccine did not 'appear so conveniently'. Trump brought business and government together to fast track a vaccine to save lives. The biggest mobilization of business since World War II...to save lives.

Everything you post is crammed full of rumor, supposition, innuendo, fly blown conclusions and outright lies. And you wonder why I highlight your bullshiite! Your posts are 'Fact Free'.[/B]

Grump thought the pause on the J&J vaccine was stupid (even though they did it to protect people). He claims the FDA and Pfizer did it for business reasons, but he’s the one who fast-tracked the Pfizer vaccine, and claims they delayed releasing positive news about the vaccine, until after the election that he lost.

Trump claimed the President Joe Biden and his administration had “zero to do” with the vaccine, adding, “all they did was continue our plan of distribution, which was working well right from the beginning!”

“Without the vaccines, this world would have been in for another 1917 Spanish Flu, where up to 100 million people died,” he wrote. “Because of the vaccines we pushed and developed in record time, nothing like that will be even close to happening. Just a mention please!”

Trump’s Latest Delusion: “I’m the Father of the Vaccine”

Senator Tim Scott claims the Biden administration “inherited a tide that had already turned” as Trump—who publicly undermined science, safety protocols, and the COVID threat—wants to take credit for the 46th president’s success.

I know people with worse medical issues that have gotten the vaccine.

posted May 20, 2021 02:30 PM            

Why are people even arguing on this issue? Because they don't want Trump to take any credit whatsoever for anything they approve of.

But if in a couple of years or so the vaccines turned out to be dangerous for people, they will be the first ones to say Trump, not Biden is responsible for the vaccine.

I don't know if that is the explanation, but if you are right, isn't it nice to know that MAGA people are also physicians, epidemiologists, communication specialists, lab scientists, accountants, lawyers, administration professionals, and countless other disciplines listed among CDC staff?
