Fauci "Tell Unvaccinated Family Members Not to Show Up at Christmas Gatherings!" · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: There is a movement now to bring mass back everywhere
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: for those that are one vac shot, two vac shots,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: three vacshots, triple, quadruple vacts, whatever you want it to be.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: And they are asking now for mandates, mandates, mandates that
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: they believe are important, mandates that they believe will somehow
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: save your life. Joe Rogan, who is the top podcaster
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: in the country, he said he figured it out. He's
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: figured out the mass and the Democratic Party why they
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: do it. Take a listen. Masks are like the Democrats
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: maga hat, and we do it to make each other
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: feel better. Yeah, but that's I mean, that makes sense
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to me that you wear it because it makes people
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: feel comfortable. And I know it's illogical, and I'm fine
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: wearing it if people if it relaxes people and it
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: makes him feel better, But if people want to actually
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: argue that they do something, it just doesn't make sense. Man,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense. It's their maga hat. If
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: there is anything that's been said during the debates over masking,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: this may be the perfect summary of it. It makes
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you feel better, right, Oh, you've got your mask on. Oh,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you respect me? And this all goes back to what
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: they keep describing as an issue of respect. You know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I need you to respect me. I need you to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: understand me. I need you to you know, to respect
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and not try to kill me. You're right, and so
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: please wear your your mask. And it is for them,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: it's their maga hat. Like this is how you decide
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: how good of a liberal you are? Do you wear
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a mask? Yess? Oh, you're like top tier, You're almost
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: royalty at that point, you're a senior leader of liberalism
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: if you'll just hurry up and put on that mask,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: because when you do it, we know you're one of us.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: We know you're trying to comply. Hey, right, we know
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: that you are not trying to kill me. Now, as
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: we see more and more and more and more people
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: who are ready to give up everything all over again
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: because of omicron and omicron, the reality of omicron from
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: what we have seen, is pretty clear. Omicron is not
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: going to kill you. More than likely, omicron is not
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: as deadly as the delta variant. That's extremely clear. Omicron
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: is something where, yes, you can get sick, but people
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: are now just going to the extremes and despite evidence,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: even the CDC, Even the CDC's director Lensky refused to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: call omicron mild in an interview with Brett Bear yesterday
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: on Fox NUS channel. And you have to ask yourself
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: this question, why would you not celebrate something that is mild?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Why would you not do that? If if there is
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: good news with omicron, you would assume that that good
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: news you'd want to give to the people unless you're
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: trying to use omicron for power and control to be
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: tyrants and dictators. That's what you would. Otherwise you would
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: come out and say, look, I want people to understand this.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: This is good news, right, this is the good news.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Is this thing is not near is bad? Right, It's not.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: It's not near as bad as what we thought it
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: was going to be. Take a listen to the centers
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: or these Control and Prevention director doctor Rochelle Owinsky refusing
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to describe omicron variant of COVID nineteen as mild because
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: it is about power. That is what this is. It
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: is one we have power over these same people mandating
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: mass mandates. These are the same people that are mandating
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that you get vaccinated to even work in your own business.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: That's who these people are. That's what they stand for.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: They stand for you not having the rights to do
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: anything you want. Well, Lenski took questions from Fox News
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: host Brett Bear and his viewers about omicron. Right, you
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: could write in listen like, we have a lot of
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: concern about cases, and that's to be expected, but we
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: keep hearing that it's very, very mild symptoms. So I'd
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: like to just see a little more of that addressed
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and how concerned should we be? Thanks, And this is
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: about the severity. Nick has a similar question on Twitter.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Why are we still focused on cases rather than case
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: to hospitalization ratio. All I read from omicron is is
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it's not severe. Same kind of questions, Yeah, really important questions.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: We still more and more studies continue to come in
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: every single day about the severity of omicron, and we
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: continue to learn more. We also know with an increased
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: number of cases, we are going to have some people
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: who have severe disease, and so we are watching both
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the severity as well as the number of cases. We
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: do need to still keep track of cases because they
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: are a leading indicator. We know that our hospitals get
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: full several weeks after our cases start to rise, so
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: we need to keep a good line of sight on both.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: And let me just reiterate what we do know about
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: this virus, about this variant specifically, is that if you
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: are vaccinated and if you are boosted, you have a
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: much lower rate of ending up as a severe case
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: or ending up as a fatality. Okay, but just to
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: be clear, you have one fatality that's listed as omicron.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Is that still true? And what about hospitalizations tied to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: omicron do you a sense of that? Yeah? Really important questions.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: So certainly my heart go out to the family of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: this case, this fatality that we learned of yesterday in Texas,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and we are still learning more about that case. What
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I can tell you right now is the vast majority
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of people who are in the hospital right now are vaccinated,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and so we are learning there still continue to be
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: people who are in the hospital from our delta surge,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: of course, and we are following the severity and what
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: is happening with the Omicron variant as well. What I
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: can also tell you in countries that have had a
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: surge before us, we're in close touch with them. They
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: are starting to report less severity and we are looking
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: at how we can apply the lessons that they have learned,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the science that they have learned on the backdrop that
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: they have, and how it may be applied here in
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the United States. So let's be clear, you you still
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: need to be freaking out even though there's only been
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: one death related to and we don't even know where
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: that death actually did. Okay, that's number one, right? Number one?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Is that number two? Okay, number number two? If if
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I'm going through this correctly, we don't even know all
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the issues around this death. But apparently that doesn't matter.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: They're saying, right like, that doesn't even that doesn't even matter,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: because we're gonna scare you no matter what. We're gonna
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: scare you. We're gonna freak you out. We're gonna make
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: it where you lose your mind, and we will not
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: tell you that this is somehow better than we thought,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: are better than we are. We were afraid it was
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: going to be a lot worse than it really is,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the side effects or the effects of omicron, So we
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: will not give you that. And they want us to
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: trust them. This is why no one trusts them. If
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you want to do a case study, go to the CDC.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Sit down with Fauci, sit down with all these people,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Burke and all the rest of them. Go. You want
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to know when you lost America? This is when you
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: lost America. Every time you guys did this is when
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you lost America. It is clear that Americans no longer
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: trust not just the leaders that comes to honesty and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: integrity with COVID, but they don't trust any longer those
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that are not supposed to be political leaders, those who
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: are supposed to be the scientists that are supposed to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: do everything with COVID. They're supposed to be non political,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: which is exactly why Joe Rogan said, Masks are like
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the Democrats maga hat. It's not based in science. It's
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: a new way to give them a hug when they're
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: insecure about maybe you're walking around killing everybody with omicron.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Masks are like the Democrats magnats, and we do it
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to make each other feel better. Yeah, but that's I mean,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: that makes sense to me that you wear it because
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: it makes people feel comfortable. And I know it's illogical,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and I'm fine wearing it if people if it relaxes
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: people and it makes them feel better, but if people
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to actually argue that they do something. It just doesn't
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: make any sense. Man, it doesn't make any sense. I
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: couldn't agree with him more at this point, right, does
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: it really make any sense? You know? Doctor Fauci went
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: on New Day on CNN putting out propaganda and as
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: they're begging you to get vaccinated and then telling you
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: we're going to change the definition of vaccinated to being
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: fully boosted, and the definition of fully boosted is I
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: guess every six months you gotta get a booster. He
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: has now said that they are looking at reducing the
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: number of recommended days and isolation for fully vaccinated if
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: you get COVID. So we're gonna change the number of
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: days that you have to be isolated for a period
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: for a fully vaccinated person, and that number is going
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to be different from someone that has COVID that is unvaccinated.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: It almost sounds like they're trying to bribe you to
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: go get vaccinated. Does it doesn't that sound like, hey,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: if we're gonna let you not be locked up as
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: long if you get it, if you're vaccinated. I have
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: no idea if this is based in any type of
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: science at all. I want to make that clear. I
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: don't know, but I don't trust it now because it
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be following science. How is it that
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: if I get COVID and my significant other gets COVID
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and I'm vaccinating and she's not vaccinator, I'm fully vaxx boosted,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: she's not that if we both get the same time,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: my isolation period is not as long as her isolation
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: period because I'm fully vax and she's almost fully vaxxed.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense scientifically. Now I understand the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: scare of the world, and everybody will run and go
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: get your jab mentality right. CDC omicron variant now dominant
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the US, causing eighty seven excuse me, seventy three percent
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: of new cases. That's the headline. But we're gonna reward you.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Here's a candy cane. If you do what we tell
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you to do when you get it, you will only
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: be locked up for six days, seven days, I guess,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But the other people, they'll be locked
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: up for fourteen or twelve or eleven? What is the number? Anymore?
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Doesn't seem to be based in science, doesn't The former
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: president over the weekend for the first time reveal that
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: he got the booster. Shot. Listen to this, Both the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: president and I are vax and did you get the booster? Yes?
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I got it too. Okay, so dot dot dot that's
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: is a very tiny group out of it. Again, what's
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: your reaction to hearing that? What kind of a difference
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: does it make? Now? What kind of a difference would
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: it have made if he'd been out there preaching the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: benefits of the booster all along? Well, I would have
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: liked this. I absolutely love this. They're gonna say it
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: would have made a difference if Donald Trump would have
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: walked out there and told everybody he was boosted. Let
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: me explain to you why Donald Trump didn't go out
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: there and tell everybody he was boosted. The reason why
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: is because he's not one that's going to mandate things
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: on people. He's a guy that came up with a vaccine.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Member people on the left said they wouldn't take the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Trump vaccine, and then Joe Biden took the vaccine while
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump was still the president. He used it as
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a political football. The entire left uses a political football.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's killing you too. Many people are dying. Even
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: though now since there's been a vaccine. More people have
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: died under Biden's Watson died in the last year of
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Trump's presidency when there was no vaccine. Where's that story.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, if anybody had a quote secret weapon, it
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: was Joe Biden. Donald Trump didn't have it. You could
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: argue at costs of the election. COVID cost Donald Trump
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the election. He was going to sail to a reelection
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: and it was going to be easy, and then COVID happened,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: and then everybody started freaking out, and the left said,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's not doing enough. You're gonna die because of
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's lack of leadership. Then he said, I'm more
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: on this vaccine. We're gonna do something that should take
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: years and we're gonna do it in months. And then
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: people said, don't trust him. Don't trust a science, don't
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: trust what he's doing. You don't trust a Trump vaccine.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Now those same scumbags at CNN are saying, why didn't
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the president, former president Donald Trump come out earlier and
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: say that he got boosted he could have saved more lives.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can't make up this script. Back to
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Fauci listen persons, particularly a former President Trump who has
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: a large number of followings too have benefited from what
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: he said. But you noted John in the background, they
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: will buoy him, which just doesn't make any sense. It'll yes,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: let's attack Trump supporters now, because that's exactly what doctor Fauci,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: a non political person, should be doing to try to
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: convince people to get vaccinated. He is a walking contradiction.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I would argue that doctor Fauci is more polarizing than
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump has ever been in his entire political life.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Doctor Fauci has hated by many, not respected by many,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and a guy that clearly is hardcore political. The proof
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: of it is a response he's just giving now attacking
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. You know, it doesn't make any sense that
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: people in the audience were booing and and even and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: even Trump silenced him, right, no, no no, no, no, no, no,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: no no, don't do that. You notice that when he
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: said that, dude, no no, no no, no, no no no,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: don't don't do that. Don't don't do that. That's what
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: he just said. Don't what, don't do that. Don't go
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: all don't go all woke in that way. Please, okay,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: don't do that. Don't don't do it. No, please, don't
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: do it. That's what he just said, don't do it.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Was it a small group? Yes? Did Donald Trump say that?
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: And it was important the way he said it. Yes,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: he was being honest. He wasn't lying. He was telling
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the truth. We should respect that, right. We should respect
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: that he was telling the truth. We should respect the
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: idea that he's telling the truth. Well, he should have
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: done more. Really, that's how this works. Now. He should
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: have done more. He should have done more. And it
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: doesn't make sense that people were booing that decision. This
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: is when people turn off Fauci. If Faucci truly cared
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: about public, the public being protected from COVID, the public
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: getting a vaccine, he would know right now that there
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: is absolutely no way that he is helping when it
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: comes to public health anymore. He's not Okay, he's not helping.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I want to make that very very very very very
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: very clear. He's not helping. He is polarizing, more polarizing
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: than Trump. He's the worst person to be the face
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: of COVID and trying to get vaccine. He is the
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: worst person for this. Now, if you think doctor Fauci's
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: actually gonna stop fear mongering you or dividing US as
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: a country you're living in La La Land. Faucci also
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: went on MSNBC today telling unvaccinated family show up at
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Christmas gatherings. Yeah. The NIAI director Anthony Fauci said on
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: MSNBC is the beat that, considering the highly contagious omicron
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: variant of coronavirus and how it's rapidly spreading through nite
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: sets America, you need to cancel Christmas with unvaccin family members.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: They should be asked to not attend Christmas gatherings. A
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: lot of questions people have in light of this new variant,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: in light of the fact that we are going into
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the holidays and trying to get through as many of
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: them as possible. The one that I think is top
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: of mind for most is how dangerous is omicron? If
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: you are triple vacs, meaning you are VACS and boosted well,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: certainly have a considerable degree of protection. We know now
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: from studies that have already been done with more to come,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: that if you are vaccinated without a boost, you have
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: a diminution in the protection to overcrome amicrom when you
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: talk about, for example, the level of anybody's but that
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: is very nicely reconstituted with a boost, so you can
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: feel reasonably comfortable that all of the things being equal,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: that you would not get seriously ill. If you get infected,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: they will be breakthrough infection. This is an extraordinary virusness,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: But if you just get triple vacts, it's going to
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: be a lot easier on you. So trust me, because
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I've never got before being transmitted from person to person.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: But with a double vaccination of an mRNA followed by
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: a boost, the protection against serious disease is considerable. So
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: that is good news. It's bad news that we're dealing
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: with such an extraordinary virus and its ability to essentially
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: surge through the country the way it's doing right now.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: You know, there's seventy three percent of the isolates are
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: now omicron who are just a week and a half
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: ago that was just literally a few percent. This is
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: a very, very transmissible virus. But vaccine with booster is
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: a very important tool in the armamentarian against this. And
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: for people who do not have the vaccine, well, they're
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: going to be very vulnerable. That's the reason why I
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: worry so much about people who's a point refuse to
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: get vaccinated. When you're dealing with any sauce, COVIE two
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: or COVID nineteen virus. It's a problem when you're dealing
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: with one that spreads so rapidly and you are unvaccinated,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the virus is going to find you. And I know
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: there are going to be a lot of people who
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: may get minimal sympatheatology, but there are a lot of
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: people that are going to get seriously ill if you
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: are unvaccinated. And that's the reason why, despite the recouncil
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: trants on the part of so many people to get vaccinated,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: we continue to encourage them, particularly in the new variant,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: to please get vaccinated. And if you are vaccinated, make
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: sure you get your booster in time. Doctor Fauci, you
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: know very well there are people right now deciding whether
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: or not they're going to get on planes so they
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: can be with their families for the holidays. What should
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: go into that calculus. What's your advice? Well, certainly any
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: kind of travel increases the risk if you are careful
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and prudent, and the travel that you are amount to
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: do you feel is important necessary travel, like seeing a
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: member of the family that you've not seen for a
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: long time. If you are vaccinated, and boosted, and the
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: people that you are visiting are vaccinated and boosted. You
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: can get on a plane and travel, so long as
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: you're very prudent when you're at the airport of wearing
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: a mask. Remember there's nothing that is completely risk free,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: but by being vaccinated, by being boosted, and by being
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: prudent in mask wearing, you dramatically diminished the risk of
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: getting infected and certainly of getting a severe illness. Another
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: sensitive question, Let's say you're boosted. You have an elderly
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: or immunocompromise relative also vaccinated, also boosted. Is it safe
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: for you to be with them? Well, what I would
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: do under that circumstance, I would probably go the extra
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: mile to be sure that you're not bringing an asymptomatic
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: infection into the house, and I would get tested a
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: day or so before you actually get in with that
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: vulnerable person. That's something that isn't necessary, as it were,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: But when you have a very special circumstance, like someone
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: who is immune compromise, you want to go the extra mile,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: and I would recommend that you get a test to
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: show that not only are you vaccinated, not only are
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: you boosted, but you know as of yesterday or today
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: that you're not infected. I love this right. You need
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: to go that extra mile. So I'm not going to
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: fearmonger you, but I'm going to fearmong you for the
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: next seven minutes. I'm not going to tell you that
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: you're trying to kill Grandma, but I'm tell you're trying
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: to kill Grandma. I'm going to tell you that this
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: thing is really, really bad, and I won't tell you
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: that if you do get it. The good news is
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the survivability rate looks good because that will mean that
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: you're less likely to get vaccine. So I need you
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: to be afraid. I need you to be very afraid.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I need you to be losing your mind. That's what
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I need you to do. That's the only way that
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: things are going to get better for you is if
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I fearmonger and terrify you and freak you out. I
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: can't be honest with you that omicron is yes, extremely contagious,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: and I'm not disputing that, but as it is as
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: deadly as Delta, based on any data that we have
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: so far, it's not even anywhere close. Things will look
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: a lot better then anybody wants to admit in this
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: administration because they need you to be afraid. Now, should
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: you show up for Christmas? No? Not if you're unvaccinated.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Go that extra mile, wear that mask, greet out and
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: meet out side, get that swab at the door. I
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: don't need to tell you those rapid tasks have become
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: increasingly difficult to access. People calling up their pharmacy is
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: not able to get them here in New York City
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: lines two hours long. How then do you make the
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: decision if that task isn't readily available. Well, then again,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: it really is a question of your own personal ability
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: or not to assume a risk. Different people have different
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: risk aversions. If you are really very risk averse and
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: you feel you want to get that extra mile to
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: get the test, and you can get it, you may
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: have to make the tough decision not to expose yourself
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: to that person. Other people feel, you know, vaccinated boosted.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: The other person is vaccinated and boosted. I haven't seen
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: them in a long time. I'm going to make a
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: decision to see them. But again, if you possibly can
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: get a test, that would be really very helpful. There
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: are a lot of indecision individual decisions about the risk
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: you're willing to take the anything that we as public
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: health officials and physicians and sciences is to give you,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: to the best of our ability, the data that way
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: have about the risk. That's not true. You're the one
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: that's been mocking Donald Trump in the last twenty four hours.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: That's not base in data. You're saying that he could
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: have saved some more lives if he would have come
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: out earlier and said he was boosted. That has nothing
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: to do with data. You're saying you don't understand why
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: people in the audience were booing when he said he
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: got when he got boosted, because you want to signlence
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: anybody else has a different opinion saying that that's dumb.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: That has nothing to do with data. You can't have
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: it both ways. You can't say I'm a data guy
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: only and then immediately go just kidding and go the
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: opposite of that. It doesn't work. And this idea that, oh,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: you're just a data persons is all just data. We're
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: just doing data. No, it's not just data. You're political,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: as it gets, okay, you're hardcore political. You hate people
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: that are unvaccinated. It makes you angry, it makes you frustrated,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: right you are, You become very mad, you become very angry,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: you become you know, you mock people, you scare people,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: then you tell them they're gonna die. Then you're asked
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: basic questions, just like Lensky was asked, you know with
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: a CDC. Hey, you know, look, are you gonna at
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: least be honest about the fact that you know this
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: isn't as deadly as we thought it was gonna be.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Can't do that, Ah, I can't tell you that. I'm
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: not going to tell you that this is despite the
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: evidence that omicron is milder, and explain that that's certainly
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: good news. In other words, I mean, you can have
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: good and bad news. You can tell the truth and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: if you do then people will trust you, and if
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: you keep not telling the truth, they will never listen
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: to anything you say. Well, Lensky could have said, Look,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the great news is the omicron variant doesn't seem to
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: be as deadly based on the data we have right now.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately it's highly contagious. You can say both at the
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: same time and let the adults in America decide what
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: they want to do, what's best for them. That is
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: the problem. With these people. They don't want you to
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: be able to decide. They want to dictate to you
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: no matter what my point is, no matter what, do
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: what's right for you, Do what's right for your family.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: But people in this country are not going to start
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: trusting Fauci and they're not going to start trusting Biden
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: because of them cracking down on us. It's only going
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: to make us distrust them. And when their logic doesn't
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: make any sense, and when they go political attacking Donald
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Trump's supporters the way they did Fauci did, there is
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: no way that people are going to at that moment,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: at at that one moment in time, that they're going
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: to say, oh, now I trust you. They're not going
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: to trust you. Okay, They're just not and they should
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: understand that. And the longer they keep trying to isolate
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: us and divide us, it's not going to make more
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: people get vaccinated. It's not going to make more people
• 26:03
