Dr. Meghan McCain wants DR. Fauci fired

‘I’m Over Dr. Fauci’: Meghan McCain Calls For Top Coronavirus Expert to Be Fired

Frustrated by the nation’s vaccine rollout plan, The View’s Meghan McCain called for President Joe Biden to replace Dr. Anthony Fauci, a physician-scientist and the director of the NIH, with someone who “does understand science.”

McCain first played a clip from CNN’s Dana Bash’s Sunday interview with Fauci, during which he did not clarify when those who have received the vaccine can begin seeing their extended family.

McCain revealed she was frustrated by Fauci’s comments — condemning him for failing to provide a clearer post-vaccination plan to confused Americans.

“The fact that Dr. Fauci is going on CNN and he can’t tell me if I get the vaccine, I’ll be able to have dinner with my family,” she said.”It’s terribly inconsistent messaging.”

She went on to note that Israeli officials have vaccinated half of their population and are urging for a return back to normalcy, questioning why the science and reasoning there would be any different than in the United States.

She is John McCain's daughter! And if John McCain's daughter wants to get Fauci fired or a pink pony for Christmas, then she will get what she wants! Because she is John McCain's daughter!

Occasionally? That's not the word I meant... incessantly! That's what I meant.

Makes as much sense as what she just said! Why, because her dad died!

Okay, did she say anything about tRumps fake epidemiologist ...ahhh NO...and many, many people died by false covid-19 protocols that only served a political campaign for a dictator...

Did she say this on the View? If so, she needs to go...

Israel is a smaller country in any case.

Meghan McCain is not much better than a lot of Fox News Hosts.

After all, the poor response to the pandemic has all originated in the last four weeks. It was running like clockwork before that, with endless pointless squabbles over wearing masks, or washing hands, or keeping six feet away from each other. I wonder if Israel lost a lot of time fighting about that, or if they just listened to the public health professionals and followed their instructions? I'll bet they didn't even consider injecting disinfectants or shoving light bulbs up people's asses!

The memory retention of a goldfish.

Good for the rest of the panel taking quite the opposite stand.

And I won't be so superficial as to comment on that 'WTF' hair style she wore, today. Kind of looked like two competing and very anti Meghan hair stylists were working on her, at the same time.

She adds NOTHING to the show. (Though given, I scarcely ever see more than a video clip or two, so I'm probably not the best to judge)

He’s not in charge of rolling out the vaccine. If she has questions about the chemical makeup, mechanism of action, or side effects of the vaccine, he’s the man. He’s not in charge of the logistics of the Covid vaccination. Why didn’t she point the finger where it SHOULD be pointed: at the bloated orange asshole who purposely dropped the ball and created this horrific situation?!?!? I am so over these republicans 🤬

The number of people who asked Meghan for her opinion is exactly the same as the number of f*cks given.
