CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said the guidance update reflects new data and scientific literature.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Whoopi Goldberg asked Behar if she thought that Fauci was trying to clear up confusion for people.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>Behar answered that \u201cfor some reason\u201d Fauci has to be diplomatic, but she doesn\u2019t have to be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">She continued, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s not that complicated, people. It\u2019s not nuclear physics, alright? All you have to do is get the d*** vaccine. When you go inside, wear a mask. Even if you have the vaccine, there might be variants around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">She continued, \u201cWhat is the complicated problem here with people? I don\u2019t understand. This is just to own the libs? Maybe they\u2019re not seeing enough on television the way people suffer when they get this disease. Even though the numbers are going down, people are still dying from it. \u2026 You\u2019re not owning the libs by not getting the shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When asked when she thinks the situation will change, McCain said, \u201cThe messaging is absolute garbage coming from Fauci, and it\u2019s not just about owning the libs. The demographics on who is vaccine hesitant, it crosses the gamut. There\u2019s still a lot of hesitancy in the African American community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">McCain added, \u201cI think that, again, the White House and the CDC has done a terrible job in just saying, \u2018What, do you wanna own the libs and that\u2019s that?\u2019 Like, it\u2019s not productive,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s why people keep going into their corners, and this is coming from a place of fear, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s coming from a place of politics. People just don\u2019t understand and don\u2019t know, and I don\u2019t like to judge people who aren\u2019t accessible to the same kind of resources and eduction I am. But this is a serious, serious problem in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Behar pushed back against McCain, replying, \u201cA lot of people of color have every right to be skeptical of the government. They have been burnt for generations \u2026 that\u2019s different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">McCain said, \u201cI\u2019m not saying they aren\u2019t,\u201d adding that Republicans have reasons to be nervous, as well. She added, \u201cI\u2019m not trying to judge. I want as many people vaccinated in as many ways, but I think when you come on the show and just say, \u2018Oh, we\u2019re owning the libs,\u2019 it\u2019s just \u2014 it\u2019s just factually inaccurate about the demographics who are not getting the vaccine. It crosses the gamut. I just gave you anecdotal evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cA lot of these people that you\u2019re talking about, Meghan, are watching Sean Hannity \u2026 and Tucker Carlson, who are telling them that it\u2019s dangerous,\u201d Behar said as McCain tried to speak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">McCain responded emphatically, \u201cThey\u2019re not. They are not. Some of these women that I know are highly educated women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Behar kept attempting to speak up before Whoopi Goldberg took the show to a break.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The U.S. Food and Drug Administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/emergency-preparedness-and-response\/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19\/covid-19-vaccines\"><span class=\"s1\">has granted emergency use authorization<\/span><\/a> to the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, and the Johnson &amp; Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
