CNN’s Dana Bash: “I also don't want to use this interview to allow you to say things that aren't entirely true. It is also factually true that the COVID vaccine worked. The COVID vaccine prevented deaths. There is data, upon data, upon data.”
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “You think the COVID vaccine protected children?”
Dana Bash: “I have talked to scientists and doctors…”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “Can you show me one study that shows that children were protected by the COVID vaccine?” “That that vaccine did more good than harm to children? Can you show me one study that shows that?”
Dana Bash: “There have been studies that show that, because of vaccine disinformation, there could have been 100K to 200K in the U.S. saved But because people didn't get the vaccine, that's why.
Robert F. Kennedy: “You are saying nonsense. You are saying something that you cannot show me a single study.”
Dana Bash: “Excuse me! Excuse me!”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “Cite me the study that you’re talking about. You said you’ve seen studies. Cite me the study.”
Dana Bash: *Can’t cite the study*
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “You're talking nonsense. You're making assertions you can't support, and then when I call you on them, you're telling me I'm arguing with you.”
Kennedy gave a MASTERCLASS on how to handle FAKE NEWS CNN.

Announce the claim to be a fact and demand acquiescence because you said it.
🤔 The same “scientists” who:
~said the vax was 100% effective?
~who believed the criminal just brought before the senate whose “diary” said they lied about everything?
~who didn't listen to the actual fucking science they, themselves put out?
~who failed to tell the world Remdesivir had a mortality rate in the ebola study of over 50% and had to be stopped because deaths were so high?
~who keep talking about insignificant sample sizes in studies but allowed Remdesivir to be used in hospitals when Gileads own study have roughly 70 people in it - killed 13% with 23% having “severe adverse events”
Yeah, these studies that are factual cited in this tweet @CNN
Big pharma is dangerous to my health.
She always looks like she’s just sucked a dill pickle.
That would be the best use of her mouth.
What an idiot. Dana Bash = fake news.
My wife either had to quit her job at a hospital or get the vaccine and boosters also. She did, I didn’t. We both got covid but mildly, it was no worse than a cold. A week later we were fine, but she had to take 2 weeks off, use her vacation time. She now has a shortness of breath, not sure if it’s related or not but she is a non-smoker and didn’t have the problem before.
She is talking over RFK, that is in really bad taste, since he has a verbal disability I would think she would back off a little to allow him to make his points.
“Announce the claim to be a fact and demand acquiescence because you said it.”
It’s the old, “That’s been debunked”, retort media critters spit out to shut down someone stating a fact they don’t like. In those cases, the issue has NOT been “debunked”; it’s just a method to end a conversation and come out as a perceived winner.
“She always looks like she’s just sucked a dill pickle.”
Could be she has a permanent dill pickle residing elsewhere — in her nether regions. That way, she gets the sour benefits, but still can open her mouth to speak.
Thanks for that report. Damned gain of function research! I lost my business due to the restrictions.
In mid-2021 after my second and milder infection I went for my first physical in years and asked my doctor if it was true that the vaccine neither prevented the infection nor prevented its spread. He said, “That’s true”, although he was recommending it, and I appreciated his honesty.
So I didn’t get the shot, but I got a steroid inhaler which helped with the lingering shortness of breath. I got covid the first time in 2020. The brain fog was the most unpleasant for me, and the heavy coughing.
I read that Fauci said in his diary that covid 19 was like the common flu, or as many said, “Just the flu, bro”.
“Just the flu, bro”.
We actually had a FR thread by that very name. I believe.
I know a lot of people who had the WuFlu and not one of them died, including DH and me. Not one — until/unless they got the vax. All of my friends and relatives who died had taken at least one shot.
No, she wasn’t.
RFK is a joke.
The one thing Trump can genuinely claim responsibility for was fastracking the vaccine.
Funny how he can’t take credit for it because his base thinks all vaccines are bad.
Name the study that showed a single child that was saved by the vax.
Sorry to hear about the family deaths after vaccination. Tragic.
I just pinged impimp who started those threads and continued thru 2025.
<<>> It’s just the flu, bro...year 6 (5th anniversary of being right)

I almost blew a gasket in my brain when I heard my daughter in law gave my grandson’s the vaccine and a booster. Then was about to give them another booster.
In a February 8, 2020 diary entry, Anthony Fauci recorded a conversation with former CDC Director Tom Frieden in which they agreed the virus was acting “like a bad influenza” regarding transmissibility.
In this private note, Fauci estimated the case fatality rate to be “more like 0.2-0.3%” rather than the 2.0% figure derived from early case counts.

I'm not saying you can't have an opinion without having a specific background or education. What I am saying is that in that case your opinion should not be delivered to a national audience (whatever CNNs is) as though you are an authority.
Yes, she is as arrogant and self-righteous as she is ignorant.
Sorry to hear that. I have employee that took the jab..our company would pay you a bonus if you did and sent proof. He used to run Marathons. He doesn’t even run anymore. He has that same shortness of breath now. He’s only 42 years old
