The show even appeared to coin a scary, new term, \u201ctripledemic\/triple-demic threat,\u201d to make sure you know how serious things could get as we draw nearer to Christmastime. Raddatz introduced Dr. Jha while referring to \u201cthe triple threat of COVID, flu and RSV [an often mild, respiratory illness] this holiday season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raddatz played the lapdog role well, setting up the urgency of people getting their shots\u2013and bemoaning that they just aren\u2019t doing what the government wants them to do:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The administration is launching a new campaign urging people to get those flu shots, get those COVID boosters. But I think only about 11 percent have gotten the booster so far, and maybe 42 million the flu shot. We\u2019ve talked about this so many times. People aren\u2019t listening. What do you do?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Here was Jha\u2019s \u201csolution\u201d \u2014 step one is shaming, like we\u2019ve heard time and time again from this White House:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt\u2019s been obviously a long two and a half years for Americans and we understand that people want to move on,\u201d White House&#8217;s Dr. Ashish Jha tells <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarthaRaddatz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@MarthaRaddatz<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe good news is people can move on if they keep their immunity up to date.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ct7A49DBCt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/t.co\/Ct7A49DBCt<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XQo8Q7BIYm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/XQo8Q7BIYm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 This Week (@ThisWeekABC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ThisWeekABC\/status\/1596897106110955523?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">November 27, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>So, look, it\u2019s been obviously a long two and a half years for Americans. And we understand that, you know, people want to move on. The good news is, people can move on if they keep their immunity up to date.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And step two? More \u201ctrusted voices\u201d need to spread the message. Is that because people have learned not to trust what this administration has to say?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>We know these vaccines, first of all, are incredibly effective. They\u2019re very safe. So that\u2019s point number one. I think point number two is we know people get vaccinated when they hear it from trusted voices. So our strategy is get out into the community, talk to religious leaders, talk to civil society leaders, community-based organizations. Have them get out into the community and talk to people.<\/p>\n<p>I really believe, if we do that and we continue pursuing that strategy, more and more Americans are going to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The White House adviser also couldn\u2019t provide a good answer, when the host pressed him on what they\u2019re doing to fix the scarcity of amoxicillin \u2014 a major worry for families right now:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe have broader supply chain issues with our medications that we\u2019ve had for decades,\u201d Dr. Ashish Jha tells <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarthaRaddatz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@MarthaRaddatz<\/a> of amoxicillin and ibuprofen shortages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve made a lot of strides in this administration, but our work here is not done.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KmgmXGFGSl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/t.co\/KmgmXGFGSl<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gA3h2cgWtX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/gA3h2cgWtX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 This Week (@ThisWeekABC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ThisWeekABC\/status\/1596901946409066502?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">November 27, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Yes, this is \u2014 you know, we have \u2014 we have some broader supply chain issues with our medications that we\u2019ve had for decades. I have seen this as a practicing clinician. I often when I walk into the hospital find some normal medicine that I\u2019m used to using not available.<\/p>\n<p>We have got to continue working on that. We\u2019ve made a lot of strides in this administration but our work here is not done. So we have got to continue making sure that these medicines are available.<\/p>\n<p>I will tell you, the good news is, plenty of vaccines for flu and COVID, plenty of treatments for flu and COVID, those are still out there\u2026.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Nifty how everything comes back to that, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Now, what about what\u2019s happening in China? My colleague Nick Arama <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/nick-arama\/2022\/11\/27\/protests-spread-in-china-as-people-demand-freedom-call-for-xi-and-ccp-to-step-down-n664645\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> about the rising intensity of protests there. But Jha could barely muster mild criticism of the CCP\u2019s iron fist behavior towards its citizens in his non-answer to Raddatz, in which he called their \u201czero COVID\u201d lockdown measures unrealistic:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">China\u2019s \u201czero COVID strategy\u201d is not realistic, Dr. Ashish Jha tells <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarthaRaddatz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@MarthaRaddatz<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would recommend that they pursue the strategy of making sure everybody gets vaccinated\u2026Lockdowns and zero COVID is going to very difficult to sustain.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/g70TLsooRP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/t.co\/g70TLsooRP<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lV83hU4Y2z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/lV83hU4Y2z<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 This Week (@ThisWeekABC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ThisWeekABC\/status\/1596903066183561226?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">November 27, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Yes, so China has pursued a zero COVID strategy, obviously that is not our strategy. We don\u2019t think that\u2019s realistic, certainly not realistic for the American people.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s going to be very, very difficult for China to be able to contain this through their zero COVID strategy.<\/p>\n<p>I would recommend that they pursue the strategy making sure everybody gets vaccinated, particularly their elderly. That I think is the path out of this virus. Lockdowns and zero COVID is going to be very difficult to sustain.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So, he doesn\u2019t have an answer there. But what does Jha have an instant answer about? More and more COVID shots\u2013 and the Democrats\u2019 one-size-fits-all strategy on individuals making choices about their own lives. You get the familiar refrain of: \u201cAmericans and their families can live like they want to,<em> if<\/em> you get the fancy, new COVID booster.\u201d New boss, same as the old boss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\nTrending on Redstate Video\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(The opinions expressed by contributors are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of\u00a0RedState.com.)
