Pleasure Behar of “The View” has a message for attendees of the favored discuss present who aren’t vaccinated.
On Tuesday’s present, co-host Whoopi Goldberg cited new findings from The Washington Put up about baby vaccination charges.
“This is so crazy, but as cold and flu season arrive, a new Washington Post poll found that 1 in 6 American parents are rejecting vaccine recommendations,” the 69-year-old advised the viewers. “The majority of parents still support immunizations, but there’s been a declining trust in childhood vaccines since the pandemic. When did people stop trusting their pediatricians? That’s the person who has your baby.”
Flabbergasted by the ballot outcomes, Goldberg shifted her focus to the viewers to conduct an impromptu survey.
“Can I just ask one question?” she said. “Everybody that has been vaccinated in this audience, just put your hands up.”
The panel famous that “everyone” raised their arms, prompting the EGOT winner to say, “And you’re all still alive. I’m just checking.”
Sunny Hostin started to name the statistic “terrifying,” however earlier than she might end, Behar stated, “If you’re not [vaccinated], don’t come back.”
“There’s this notion out there that, ‘I don’t have to get vaccinated because everyone else is vaccinated, and there will be this herd immunity,’” Hostin stated.
Nonetheless, she defined that with a purpose to obtain “herd immunity,” 95% of the inhabitants must be vaccinated — but at present, “there are only 92% of kids that are immunized against measles, mumps, rubella, polio.”
“Do you know how many children can become severely ill or perhaps, god forbid, die? And we know now that global immunization efforts have saved an estimated 154 million lives. That’s six lives every minute,” Hostin stated. “Ninety-five percent of those lives are children. As a parent myself, I had both of my kids vaccinated, but I do wonder why a parent would make the choice not to protect their child?”
Behar adopted up and said that folks are refusing to vaccinate their children as a result of they’re getting their data from “the top.”
“We have come in this country to the point where the head of health and human services is being run by somebody who has no degree in health or human services,” she stated. “You might as well give me the job.”
