So making those decisions, that\u2019s absolutely common sense. We\u2019re protecting people\u2019s ability to make those decisions.\u201d\u201cAnd unfortunately, you have a lot of stuff that\u2019s happened with the CDC,\u201d he charged. \u201cWith the booster for the general public, the FDA recommended against it; their two leading people in the FDA resigned in protest because they said this was being politicized. Can you imagine if that happened under Trump? Corporate press would have a meltdown; this would be like 24\/7, CNN, MSNBC; it would be non-stop. That happened under Biden and then CDC overruled FDA on that, and I think that was more political.\u201d\u201cSo the idea that people shouldn\u2019t look at that and factor that into what they may be doing?\u00a0 Of course (that\u2019s what) they should be doing. But I do think just the lack of just leveling with the public, I think it\u2019s been very detrimental, and look, this COVID vaccine is one thing, there\u2019s a whole host of other things regarding people\u2019s health, and I think you\u2019re gonna see people have really, really serious misgivings the next time St. Fauci comes down the pike and says something or any of these other people because I don\u2019t think most Americans believe they\u2019ve been entirely truthful throughout the course of this pandemic,\u201d he concluded.[embedded content]The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
