CDC Chief urges mask wearing, following Pres. Trump’s remarks on their effectiveness: 'We have clear scientific evidence...I might even go so far as to say that this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against Covid than when I take a Covid vaccine”

That’s very irresponsible for CDC to say that

Hey Republicans Trump, wasnt under oath. He wont speak under oath.

Tell the whole story not just the clips you want to use so your agenda is fulfilled. fearmonger Liars

A vaccine doesn’t stop infections we hv the MMR vaccine yet we still hv cases of measles. We hv a pneumonia vaccine, and every year people get pneumonia.Wear a mask to protect yourself from the asymptomatic covid people not staying home, and the ones that don’t kno they are sick

1935 Doctors stated: “This is the battle against a veritable world sickness which threatens to infect the peoples, a plague that devastates whole peoples...an international pestilence.” 1938 Jews compelled to wear badges, snitched on & sent to camps

What kind of a leader does this? Seriously. Who does this?

Today when he talked about the CDC what he said is actually true but in reverse - it's trump who is confused and who does not understand. He just had it backwards.

Since March, Trump has tried to dupe Americans about a magic covid-19 vaccine. My question is: After best 200,000 deaths and over 6,000,000 infections, where are the damn vaccine?! I am not blaming scientists but Trump's ignorance. Masks are more effective than future vaccine!

Let’s say polio was back. What would choose?

Solution is wearing masks AND getting vaccinated. Dr. Redfield essentially said that vaccines are only about 70% effective, so wearing a mask would provide additional protection to keep you safe

Lying tRump at it again!

To be on the safe side and increase effectiveness, wear double masks.

The CDC’er vs The Seedy See’er.

Wait, did the CDC chief suddenly grow a pair or did I miss something?... He just now figured out that tRump is losing and he's trying to save himself?

i think we should just start hitting people without one with a bat

CDCDirector is either an ignoramus or deliberately undermining POTUS ‘s leadership in an aggressive concerted effort to have a safe vaccine developed at “warp speed” to help Americans alleviate the threat of the coronavirus. He doesn’t belong in the group and should be fired!

When doctor trump realdonaldtrump said that he was ONLY THINKING OF HIMSELF so he doesn't catch the TRUMPVIRUS

mask is 85% effective, vaccine might be 50-70% effective. Effectively the world will spend trillions of dollars on a vaccine because everyone can't put on a mask for 2 weeks and stay away from each other....

As an MD MPH I think Redfield should resign. CDC failed us. “Gottlieb said officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were telling the White House coronavirus task force that the virus was not spreading in the U.S. in February. “

I am so upset about this Heard Immunity debate from TRUMP. if TRUMP wants to try it out and his people want to do it, be a leader and GET INFECTED. We need 70% infected for it to work so we can start with TRUMP AND MAGA. Do it w/ medical attention,

How did the greatest nation on Earth end up with that one ☝️

Our country is lead by the severely mentally deranged 😢

Lol

TrumpWantsToInfectUs

Trump is clearly showing direct and immediate signs of a desperate individual, the lunacy, lies, rhetoric, sheer ignorance and arrogance are typical signs of a narcissist, desperate to win an election rather than protect the lives of millions of humans. He is killing people daily

No one believes the CDC

TrumpWantsToInfectUs TrumpLiesAmericansDie

So I have a question. The common cold is a virus, right? It’s been around a while, right? Everyone’s had it. Where’s the herd immunity? Please explain like I’m five.

DT lies

I can not believe that people are so willing blind to what’s happening. Do you wonder why more than 33 countries have banned Americans entering?

There are some scientists that say mask wearing works and there are some that say it does not!!

Yet his last testified they weren't. But change his esteemed opinion just b4 election. medicalnegligence Redfield

So, we just have to wear masks for the rest of our lives then?

How is it possible that Democrats have screwed up the West coast as bad as they have Some of the most beautiful parts of our country have literally been turned into hell on earth by Democrat bullshit!!
