totally in your freedoms, i do. you have to do what you have had to. but i recommend, take the vaccines. i did it, it s good. you got your freedoms. i happened to take the vaccine. if it doesn t work, you ll be the first to know, okay? they booed him. you know why? he s never been their leader. he was a repeater. he repeated their angst and their animus. his legacy will be that he literally led people to risk their own lives and he gave birth to a new wave of demagogues who are misleading just like he did, making people so resistant to reason and relying on lies that they would rather try poison than a real cure. the fda literally had to remind some americans you re not a horse, you are not a cow. why? because some are taking a drug that s given to livestock as an anti-parasitic to treat or
and now they believe they have clearance for their employees. now, this has been met for a lot of hype. if your employer makes you get a vaccine, that s discriminatory. legal tests of this will come. it will be shocking if a private business is not allowed to have their employees be vaccinated. and the idea that insisting that you be protected is unfair to the unvaccinated, unless you are immune compromised, got getting vaccinated is what is unfair to the people in your family, your job, and anywhere you go. this is on you, not your employer. the pentagon also announced earlier that all u.s. service members will now be required to get immunized. why? because sick people are weak people. and if that happens in the military, a mass contagion, that could have national security implications. so where are we? take a look. we re averaging nearly 150,000
on people who insist on making themselves and others sick? the question now is with the fda approval and the wave of mandates, will that make the difference? let s take it to a better mind. former fda commissioner under trump, dr. steven hahn. good to see you back, doc. hi, chris. thanks for having me. fda approval. do you believe this could be something that creates a massive catalyst among people who haven t been vaccinated to date? chris, it s a really important day in our fight against covid-19. i don t know about the word massive, chris, but i certainly hope for those who have been waiting for this full approval that this is the impetus for them to get vaccinated. we have clear evidence of the safety and effectiveness of the pfizer/biontech vaccine. it s undergone full approval and full vetting by the gold standard, the u.s. fda. you used full there twice. the hate parade is already marching and saying they took
why? well, the original trial was in 16 and over, so we have data that s at least six months in terms of safety, which is the requirement that the fda has. the folks who went through the trial had to have six months of follow-up safety data. we just recently saw the emergency use authorization for 12 to 15, so we have to wait a little bit more time to collect additional safety data. chris, there s no reason to believe that it won t be as safe in that group as it is in 16 and older. we have to wait for the data to be complete. what do you say to those in right-wing media saying this deworming drug, this could do the trick. which drug, chris? ivermectin, the deworming drug. right. we ve seen this before. it s ironic, chris, a drug that is indeed approved by the fda for certain infections but for which there s pretty good data to suggest it does not work against covid-19 and would not be recommended by any medical professional, that that would be chosen over a vaccine that s
they need adults, they are dependent on adults to step up. how long must all lives be stilted at home and work waiting on people who insist on making themselves and others sick? the question now is with the fda approval and the wave of mandates, will that make the difference? let s take it to a better mind. former fda commissioner under trump, dr. steven hahn. good to see you back, doc. hi, chris. thanks for having me. fda approval. do you believe this could be something that creates a massive catalyst among people who haven t been vaccinated to date? chris, it s a really important day in our fight against covid-19. i don t know about the word massive, chris, but i certainly hope for those who have been waiting for this full approval that this is the impetus for them to get vaccinated. we have clear evidence of the safety and effectiveness of the pfizer/biontech vaccine. it s undergone full approval and
