On CNNs Erin Burnett Out Front Tuesday, fill-in host Poppy Harlow spoke with CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner about all things COVID-19, and got his reaction to comments made by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) on Fox News during their Monday primetime block, regarding the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines.
We all hoped and prayed the vaccines would be 100 percent effective, 100 percent safe. But theyre not, Johnson said on Monday. We now know that fully vaccinated individuals can catch COVID, they can transmit COVID. So whats the point?
After playing a clip of Johnsons interview, Harlow asked Reiner, who advised the White House medical team under President George W. Bush, what he thought of those comments.
Id say that hes so misguided that it makes me wonder whether this is all just an act. And if it is an act, what does that say about what he thinks his constituents want to hear? Reiner said, later adding. And if this is not an act, then he is just the most ignorant man in the United States Senate. And that says a lot.

(6,280 posts)Because when your constituency consists of a majority of people who are willfully ignorant, and whose priority in life is to "Stick it to the Dems", it's a slam dunk. Like I said in another thread, Democrats don't need to resort to the traitorous tactics of the right-wing. All they need to do is just tell the truth, but with more anger, and be ruthless about it. The grand poobah knows there is enough material to work with.
