JHA: We have demonstrated that we can build vaccines very quickly, but I am worried that we are not spending enough time learning the lessons of this one. I worry that people are tired of this pandemic and want to move on. We all want to move on. But that’s fine, and I think for the average American I totally understand that. For our political leaders, that’s not okay. We’ve gotta learn the lessons of this pandemic, make sure we understand what went right, what went wrong. A lot of things went right. A lot of things went wrong. Um, I don’t know that we’re spending enough time really looking at that carefully and making sure that we learned those lessons and apply them to future pandemics.
BUCK: They have learned none of the lessons.
CLAY: (laughing)
BUCK: Welcome back to Clay and Buck. That’s the White House covid adviser Dr. Ashish Jha. They have learned nothing from all of the wrong. They were wrong about essentially everything. If you were to… Clay, if we sit here and go through a list, they were wrong about how it was spread —
CLAY: Yep.
BUCK: — they were wrong about how lethal it was —
CLAY: Yep.
BUCK: — they were wrong about the effectiveness of masks —
CLAY: Yep.
BUCK: — they were wrong about the effectiveness of lockdowns, they were wrong about preventing people from gathering in public, they were wrong about the effectiveness of vaccine… I mean, I could just sit here and go on. They were wrong about everything.
CLAY: Everything.
CLAY: If you want to be a single-issue voter — in general, I’m not a single-issue voter guy. I don’t like the idea that all you care about one thing and you toss everything else on the scrap heap. This November, however, I do think is a single issue-type election, which is if you want to live normally, if you want to have a life where you and your family do not have to constantly be looking over your shoulder to know whether your kids are gonna be in school, whether your kids are gonna have to wear masks.
Whether your kids are gonna have to get covid shots — if you yourself don’t want to be forced to get booster shots for the rest of your life — you have to vote red. You have to vote for Republicans. Even if you’re listening to us right now and that makes you feel a little bit apprehensive — because I guarantee you Buck there’s a lot of people listening to us right now that aren’t traditional Republican voters, but they are fed up. Single-issue voter, if you’re going to be one, has to be on covid. It has to send a message to Democrats, ’cause they’re not done.
