CLAY: By the way, as we get ready for the State of the Union, just to reiterate, Joe Biden yesterday walked across the entire White House lawn wearing his big, black mask for no reason, even though he’s outdoors. Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden have both announced that they will not be wearing masks. No one has to wear a mask inside of Congress as they miraculously ended their mask mandate just in time for the State of the Union address.
And one of the foremost proponents of masking has been the New York Times. The New York Times in their editorial this morning, Buck, said it’s time to take masks off of school kids, and probably, of all of the medical experts outside of the Fauci world — these are people who are theoretically independent medical experts — Dr. Leana Wen, a lot of you have heard her on CNN, recently, Buck, ’cause we played these cuts.
She argued that unvaccinated people shouldn’t be able to leave their houses. She argued that unvaccinated people shouldn’t be able to fly on airplanes. Well, now she wants everybody to know that it’s time to get back to normal, and she now is arguing that kids shouldn’t have to wear masks in schools. But we’ve got the receipts. I thought you guys would enjoy. CNN’s foremost expert on covid. Listen to some of the things she said in recent months.
BUCK: Wow. Quite a reminder, Clay, of what we were dealing with with Dr. Wen. I think on the issue of children, how she said she wanted to make sure her kids were vaccinated?
CLAY: Her 1-year-old.
BUCK: Her 1-year-old. This is just reflecting back to her preferred audience, CNN audience, their anxieties so they feel more okay. I refuse to believe that she’s that… Look, she’s a smart woman, obviously, right? She has a high level of intelligence. Very poor judgment and I think not very honest. Worked for Planned Parenthood — ran Planned Parenthood — which is a whole other conversation. But I refuse to believe that she’s so foolish that she actually thought her 1-year-old was in jeopardy from covid.
I think she just knew, “The hysterics at home watching CNN and MSNBC need to hear that from me or they’ll be mad,” so she went along with it. By the way, I think that was often what was going on this whole time, if people knew what their audience, their preferred Democrat audience wanted to hear and see, and they went along with it. They weren’t actually that dumb.
If you had a 5- to 11-year-old — and I do. I’ve got two kids in that range. My kids are not getting vaccinated, because I looked at the data and knew that they weren’t at risk. But even if you went and got your kids vaccinated ages 5 to 11, the Pfizer data has now come out. Dr. Fauci, everyone, Dr. Wen, they were all telling you to get your kids vaccinated. It did not reduce their chance of getting covid at all. That is pretty seismic when you consider the risk factors anytime you take a shot that you don’t need. Zero health benefit to your kids in terms of getting covid 5 to 11.
