Matt Gaetz says COVID-19 is the best way to protect against getting COVID-19

Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida has been criticized after he cast doubt on the need for COVID-19 vaccines, saying that contracting the virus gives the best protection against it.

"The best vaccine we've found is mother nature's vaccine. It's contracting the virus," Gaetz told the far-right One America News Network. "That is what has provided the greatest protection, the most durable protection, over the longest period of time."

The interview was first aired in November, but was reshared on Twitter by the journalist Aaron Rupar on Saturday.

Medical professionals have since slammed Gaetz's comments.

so first he has to be investigated for five years. Has anyone noticed the parents of the Michigan school shooter didn't have to be investigated for very long before they were arrested and charged? Not to mention countless other criminals.

Die.

And the republicans are helping us do that with gun violence, police violence, and inadequate nutrition and health care.

even if he was right exposing everyone to the virus would kill millions of people.

Any day now.
