CNN anchor Don Lemon said Thursday during the handoff between shows that it was time to blame the “selfish” and “ignorant” unvaccinated for the coronavirus Delta variant surge.
Lemon said, “I don’t know if we can get this under control. We had the opportunity. None of this had to happen. Children didn’t have to get sick. If we didn’t let the virus to mutate and this variant to catch on, we could have had this under control. We were well on our way, and the only people you can blame, the only people you can blame — this isn’t shaming— the unvaccinated. The unvaccinated people have put us in the position we’re in now. And it is not a good place.”
Anchor Chris Cuomo said, “We showed the numbers tonight. 37% of the unvaccinated are white Republicans. It doesn’t have to be like that.”
Lemon said, “You have to be more direct. More concerted effort to say get vaccinated. You’re not just killing yourself. You’re going to kill other people. That’s what you have to start telling people. If you don’t get vaccinated, you can’t come into this office or this place of business. If you don’t get vaccinated, you can’t come into this gym. If you don’t get vaccinated, you can’t get on to this airplane. That has nothing to do with freedom. It has nothing to do with liberty. You don’t have the freedom and the liberty to put other people in jeopardy. You don’t have that. You have to drive the speed limit. You have to obey the rules.”

Imagine if we’d treated those selfish homosexuals the same way during the AIDS crisis, Don. Banned them from airplanes and theatres and stuff...
To the pro-vaxxers.
The vaxxers should be thanking the un-vaxxers. We are the ones that will end the covid mess with herd immunity.
‘Sic semper tyrannis.’
indeed; the internecine race and culture war the elites have boners for is just a shot away, just a shot away...
So, the majority of the "Unvaccinated" are NOT White Republicans?
Regards,
Can the concentration camps be far behind?
‘To the pro-vaxxers.’
you want all those who advocate the usage of vaccines to die, do you...?
Democrats continue to demonize the unvaxxed. 🤔
I’m sure both members of his audience were in agreement with him.
He wants to whine about killing people, he needs to go talk to cuomo, whitmer, newsome, wolf, et al.
I knew Don Lemon wasn’t the smartest duck on the pond, but suggesting that virus mutations could have been avoided with better policy (masks? vaccines? ???) is beyond stupid.
They want us to; the choice is: take the vaxx and die or don’t and die from COVID - at least if you survive COVID, you’ve anti-bodies to prevent you from getting it again. Conversely, with any of those vaxxes in your system, you can get it again plus you’d be exporting it regardless. So vaxx up and wear a mask forever anyway.
Aren’t those who have a medical issue taking the vaccine technically disabled? Does Lemon think people with disabilities are just selfish? Does he give any thought to what he’s saying? I only know him by his reputation on the FR.
There’s been calls by the perpetually offended to remove Andrew Jackson from the $20 bill. Let’s compromise. Come out with a $3 bill with Don Lemon on it
More pearl-clutching, fear-mongering theater from the left.
This a-hole media whore should stick to what he gets stuck with and what he sticks. Lemmonhead can FOAD.
It appears the vaccinated are the problem. They are getting and spreading COVID a much higher percentage according to the CDC.
A new CDC report detailed 469 cases of COVID-19 linked to an outbreak in Provincetown, Massachusetts between July 3 and July 17.
Of the infections, 74% occurred in fully vaccinated people who had one of the three FDA-emergency approved vaccines and 80% had symptoms.
Even still, it’s the un-vaxxed who are the problem. /sarc
