On Monday night’s “Prime Time” show, CNN host Chris Cuomo Yes Rep. Byron Donald (R-Fla.) in an interview turned out to be a failed COVID vaccine humiliation attempt and another unethical attempt Familiar display Using his platform to attack the governor of a state, the governor of that state is undoubtedly better than his brother Governor Andrew Cuomo in his own state in dealing with the pandemic.
In the first minute or so, after exchanging polite words, Donald talked about the high vaccination rate among the elderly in Florida-he correctly pointed out that this was the priority of Governor Ron DeSantis from the beginning-then Komo Begin to talk to Donald about how Republicans, including DeSantis, “politicized” the vaccine. For example, Cuomo proposed the “Don’t Fauci My Florida” T-shirt and koozies Be sold On the DeSantis website. Then, Cuomo began to quote Donald’s recent sentence out of context, suggesting that the Republican Party’s message about vaccines is not to accept it, because it would make President Biden’s or others’ vaccination rates look better:
CUOMO: One aspect of vaccine hesitation is politics, especially in your state. “Don’t Fauci Florida,” we all know it’s about. Do you feel obligated to spread a message, “I won’t accept it because I don’t care what Biden wants. Byron Donald won’t accept it because he doesn’t care what Biden wants.” You think this is a way for people to hear The good news?
Donald: Well, the first thing is that my information is never about Joe Biden. My information is about my personal health and myself. I am 42 years old. I have been infected with COVID.
CUOMO: “I didn’t get the vaccine because I don’t want to.”
Donald: Wait, Chris. Let me finish. Let me finish. do not-
CUOMO: Wait, no, no, I want to read your words.
The interview did not get better. When Cuomo tried to answer a question, he kept interrupting Donald, and Donald, commendably, he reiterated this, that although he advised people to get vaccinated, he thought it should It is a personal choice that is not subject to government enforcement. When Cuomo tried to humiliate him because he was not vaccinated and did not lead by example, Donalds kept calm and told Cuomo that he and his family had been infected with COVID and therefore chose not to vaccinate after consulting their doctor.
When Cuomo tried to give a “free” speech to Donalds, the freshman congressman was Nothing:
Cuomo then tried to explain “freedom” to Donald, telling him that choosing not to be vaccinated “does not make him a free person” and the definition of freedom is not “bold” but “do the right thing.”
Donald fought back.
“What you mean is that everyone must be vaccinated to protect everyone. I mean, if Americans want to be vaccinated… get vaccinated. I fully encourage you to do that,” Donald said. “But at the same time, if some Americans don’t want it, they shouldn’t be forced to do so.”

Interestingly, Ku defaulted to that interview made him look good, but in fact it once again confirmed what a beautiful thing this is. Arrogant bastard He actually is.
Anyone in this country, including Donald, least needs Chris Cuomo to teach what it means to “do the right thing”, especially considering that Cuomo was in the early days of the Wuhan virus outbreak. The preferential treatment received by family members has sufficient privileges to be placed Platoon leader Because of his obvious relationship in the governor’s office, in terms of virus testing and alternative treatment options.
In addition, Cuomo—he once again sees himself as the moral arbiter of “doing the right thing”— Break isolation (This violates CDC guidelines), and he has COVID, that is when the virus caused the most damage to his fellow New Yorkers (April 2020).But when called by the old man Cyclist When he contracted the coronavirus and saw him sitting outside East Hampton Manor, Cuomo hinted that he Radio show He wanted to assault that person and complained that as a public figure, he had to restrain himself from doing what he really wanted to do.
As I said before, vaccinations Is a personal choice. Some people choose to get it, some people don’t. In some cases, you have someone like Donalds who has contracted COVID, so you don’t think it is necessary to get vaccinated. Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is in the same camp. My mom, dad, and I were all infected with COVID last summer, but we still chose to vaccinate earlier this year as a preventive measure, especially because my dad is in contact with medical staff and other elderly medical environments 3 times a week.
Sadly, vaccine humiliation is becoming a political weapon against those who don’t get it. Unfortunately, some humiliation comes not only from people like Cuomo, but also from some right-wingers. It must stop.
