Rick Scott (R-FL) told Fauci. \u201cYou forced people to watch their loved ones die alone over the phone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho the f&#8212; do you think you were for doing that?\u201d Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) asked Fauci. \u201cIt is a total disgrace what you did to this country.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou were so focused on getting every award and every drop of cash that you could,\u201d Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) told Fauci. \u201cAll because you wanted to be on TV, you wanted to be the sun god of science.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>To Democrats, the Republican rhetoric is the problem as it slowly undermines Americans\u2019 trust in vaccines and medical expertise. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere&#8217;s an undermining of science,\u201d Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) told Raw Story. \u201cIt&#8217;s sowing distrust in public servants and scientists and researchers and medical professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the right, Republicans seem as afraid of their constituents as they are angry at Fauci.<\/p>\n<p>Republican rhetoric is far from the problem, according to Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee Chair Rand Paul (R-KY), who\u2019s threatening to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress after the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you worry at all that bringing up all the COVID vaccine [criticisms] that it could increase skepticism in the measles vaccine and others?\u201d Raw Story asked. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d Paul told Raw Story after the hearing. \u201cI think, really, a lot of the hesitancy on getting vaccinated is when people are told something that&#8217;s dishonest.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Paul, a Duke-trained ophthalmologist, says Republican fearmongering on C-SPAN isn\u2019t the problem. Fauci is. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they tell you your six-month-old needs to get a COVID vaccine, and yet you&#8217;ve seen all the evidence that healthy six-month-olds don&#8217;t die from COVID and then you&#8217;ve seen evidence that some young people that are healthy get a heart inflammation, myocarditis,\u201d Paul continued. \u201cYou&#8217;re thinking, \u2018well, gosh, if they&#8217;re telling me that my six-month-old needs it, maybe they&#8217;re lying to me about the other vaccine.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Fauci served under both Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden, but Paul lays blame for today\u2019s historic measles outbreak solely at the feet of those on the left. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think they have caused the vaccine hesitancy through dishonesty,\u201d Paul told Raw Story. \u201cI&#8217;m out there saying that the COVID vaccine should be given to those who are at risk, and that&#8217;s really kind of where it&#8217;s shifted now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/propertyrelocationusa.com\/?p=5213\">Singer Noah Kahan becomes latest to go to war with Donald Trump<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While America hasn\u2019t endured a measles outbreak of this magnitude since 1991, Senate Republicans are acting as if it\u2019s medical business as usual. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don&#8217;t know anything about measles,\u201d Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) told Raw Story. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you worried with all this rhetoric that&#8217;s influencing people taking or not taking the measles vaccine?\u201d Raw Story asked Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV). <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hadn&#8217;t really thought about it like that,\u201d Capito told Raw Story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you tell constituents if they call and ask about the measles vaccine?\u201d Raw Story asked Florida Sen. Rick Scott.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one does,\u201d Scott told Raw Story. \u201cThere wasn&#8217;t a vaccine when I was growing up. We intentionally got measles. If one person in the neighborhood got measles, we all got measles intentionally. The same with mumps and chickenpox. So I had all that stuff as a kid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, Scott isn\u2019t promoting herd immunity as the solution. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you worried about how many people are afraid of those vaccines?\u201d Raw Story pressed. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, yeah,\u201d Scott continued. \u201cBut the other side of it, I think the positive is, if you like, if you talk to [Health and Human Services Secretary] Bobby Kennedy. You know, he&#8217;s not anti-vaccine. He&#8217;s giving you good information.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many medical experts disagree.<\/p>\n<p>Still, other Republicans admit they avoid giving their constituents vaccine information these days. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf people call your office now and ask you about it, do you send them to a certain website?\u201d Raw Story pressed. \u201cOr do you just listen to them?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust listen. A lot of people are skeptical from a lot of different avenues. Everyone has to make the decisions that are right for their own family,\u201d Ernst said. \u201cI believe in vaccinations, especially something that has been proven over time \u2014 like the measles [vaccine] \u2014 but that&#8217;s me. It&#8217;s my personal preference. Every family, like I said, has to make their own decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs there a role for the government in combating some of this measles skepticism or vaccine skepticism?\u201d Raw Story pressed. \u201cOr does the government mess it up?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to tread very carefully in that arena when telling individuals what they should and shouldn&#8217;t do,\u201d Ernst said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that&#8217;s because of Fauci?\u201d Raw Story asked. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah,\u201d Ernst said. \u201cSo we&#8217;re in a really difficult time right now. And our citizens will have to figure out a way to \u2014 actually, let&#8217;s put the impetus on the federal government: We&#8217;re going to have to earn the people&#8217;s trust.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/propertyrelocationusa.com\/?p=5211\">Trump DOJ lawyer to eat his own words by New Jersey judge<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON \u2014 America\u2019s in the midst of its worst measles outbreak in 35 years, but you wouldn\u2019t know that from watching Republicans on the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee rip into Dr. Anthony Fauci Wednesday over America\u2019s COVID response. \u201cYou lied to hundreds of millions o&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5216,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-investigation"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
