BASH: You have been placing nearly all the blame for how the US handled covid on Dr Fauci. But he worked for President Trump. Does Trump also deserve some of the blame? RFK Jr: Well, President Trump wanted to end the lockdowns. Lockdowns did the most damage

First of all the governors determined length of lockdowns in the end. Trump admin shut down nonessential business initially. With the exception of schools, businesses were open after a few months with adjustments like distancing and masking. Grocery stores and essential businesses never shut down.

Remember how the republicans claimed wearing a mask was woke? Remember republicans claimed horse deworming meds cured covid; then they bought stock in it? Remember the states who reopened early had highest deaths per capita Thank you Rand Paul for reminding us how reckless republicans were and are

Remember how Jarrad Kushner & his buddies bought all the K95s not giving them hospitals forcing staff to make their own? How Ivanka got body bag rights issued by China? Oh remember how those pesky ventilators hospitals begged for & Kushner said no. Remember MAGA no maskers dying for the cause.

Who exactly are they trying to influence here? The country has moved on and we are hyper focussed on the disaster area the Trump administration has created. They can say "look over there" all they want but we won't.

What damage did the lockdowns do? My kids all missed school, then they caught back up. I barely even remember that part. I just remember not wanting my family to catch it and die.

I don’t understand why they give him airtime. He constantly interrupted her, called her a parrot, he was rude. He has no business being in that role and shame on CNN for not cutting to a commercial sooner. RFK Jr. deserves zero air time.

too many people believe his lies and quackery which is why we have record number of measles cases to begin with. If TV interviews led to his resignation or being fired, I would agree with you, but they don’t.

WRONG you pathetic worm brain. The COVID virus did by far the most damage, and would have done a lot more damage if not for lockdowns.

How did lockdowns cause the most damage? To the economy, sure. To people's psyche, sure. To people's physical health? No way. It's what saved countless lives. I thought he's the boss. No one does anything he doesn't want. If that's the case....

My cousin got Covid at work in nyc before they knew what to do in early march and was in the icu 10 days, and lived. My brother in law in Florida, got Covid at work while their state removed lockdowns, went to the hospital July 1 and died in the hospital July 5.

Yes, to this very day. It seems that their lifeblood is simply a ceaseless torrent of absurd and easily disproven lies from their felonious False Orange God. It absolutely beggars belief that there are so many seriously mentally defective people in the US.

Lockdowns were ordered by STATE GOVERNMENTS, not the federal government. Fauci could offer advice, and Trump could blow hot air, but neither had the legal authority to close schools or businesses.

We exited Covid with the strongest economy in the world thanks to President Biden and his adminsitration - handed it to Trump who set it on fire and blamed Biden for being the arsonist.

This ignorant administration has dumbed down this country and setting us back for decades by appointing disqualified puppets in place like this clown

And Dr Fauci overruled him? Uh huh. Donald left it up to the states, any federal mandates were the responsibility of Donald. Dr Fauci had no authority to enact any policy.

Really curious how lockdowns made Covid worse. I mean you can make an argument that there were all sorts of bad effects of the lockdown, economic, social, educational. But from the stand point of spreading an infectious disease, how would a proper lockdown make it worse?

We all know the elephant in the room. It was the orange man, who said, that you should drink bleach to recover from Covid. Or the horse medicine. And the face palm of the scientists with him. We could feel their pain over the tv screen.

RFK is FOS. Before vaccines, the only defense we had against the spread of disease was quarantine. My whole family were quarantined three times in the '40s and '50s: same situation when COVID first came to the U.S. Failure to react properly and promptly then killed over a million Americans.

So the lockdown killed my anti-vaxxer neighbor who didn't wear a mask and literally died in April 2020 when Trump was POTUS, funny but I locked down and didn't DIE Hmmmm

Great strategy to revive Trump’s COVID response ineptitude before the midterms. It was Trump who said COVID was hoax, then it will be gone by summer because UV rays kill it. Under played death count. Won’t let ship dock because it would add to the case count and on and on . . .

“When you do testing to that extent, you’re going to find more people, you’re going to find more cases. So I said to my people, ‘Slow the testing down, please.’” Donald Trump, June 20, 2020

Exactly. Moron totally botched it. The United States recorded among the highest COVID-19 per capita death rates and excess mortality levels when compared to similarly wealthy, industrialized peer nations. Because Trump was in charge.

Err - what damage did lockdowns do? We needed to slow down and realise that how we act as a species has implications Growth agendas need replacing with sustainable agendas Why the f*ck is a guy like this steering national health policy He is so disconnected in his little drug damaged brain...

Bring a worm brained man to be interviewed and what can you expect CNN? FUCK RFK Jr and his insanity and FUK Senator Bill Cassidy and all the GOP for confirming him America is in danger from disease and terrorism now because of a sycophantic GOP Senate and Congress

Amazing that we give this guy any bandwidth at all. He presents as an unhinged crank and that’s being kind. Oh what other countries must think of us and rightfully so.

He was the fucking president; if he wanted the lockdowns ended, he would have done so. He could have fired Dr. Fauci. If he truly is the genius he claims, he would have found a way to solve all the problems we’re facing. He truly is a selfish, little baby. My apologies to selfish little babies.

When and where were the "lockdowns"? China had robot dogs and drones keeping people in their homes. We had "if it's not too much trouble could you wait for your donut by standing on these little stickers 6ft apart on the floor"

Lockdowns didn't kill people. Trump.was in charge…he always has the last word. Fauci was an ADVISOR. The president always contradicted Fauci and acted like a lunatic the whole time.

I also encourage everyone to take a look at the Lucky Charms and Beer social media accounts, where vaccine misinformation is shared on a regular basis. It’s particularly concerning given that the account owner is married to a physician.

President Trump pushed horse dewormer, which led to some poor dupes ingesting fish tank cleaner, and wanted to inject disinfectant into the lungs of patients. Pretending he was a source of wisdom on covid is grimly laughable. RFK Jr is a terrifyingly dangerous smack head crank.

Clearly, these people are receiving a daily script of responses and verbiage they are to use to sucker the MAGA plebs when challenged on current hot topics .. Who writes this crap for them? Are they emailed, posted online somewhere or sent in other ways?

The following qualifications are in no way based on science or medical expertise. His confirmation is the as grotesque as Stephen Miller’s immigration policies. Congress members that confirmed RF Kennedy need to be held accountable. Yes, Congress has blood on their hands!

I think my friend Ted agrees with RFK jr but he died in 2021 after he and his wife went to an anti-mask rally and they both got COVID — so I can’t ask him. BTW - he did all his “protocols” — including horse de-wormer and anti-malaria drugs — not sure if he tried bleach and anal light probe.

It sure why a few months out from the mid terms, these morons want to rehash Covid and the republicans horrid response to it. And then getting this idiot on tv to try and do more damage is laughable

Our schools in GA went back August 2020. Our kids were only out 2 months, but educational data looks much the same as states where schools remained closed a year+. Maybe (& I’m out on a limb here) it wasn’t just Covid. We need data on these in Kinder & 1st now. Maybe there’s more— like the screens.

“If you only took my wife’s dog walker‘s hairstylist advice that said to take ivermectin and fish tank treatments we would have had very little deaths. Also let the kids run free in an open air infectious disease that will learn ‘em”
