Interview highlights
On what went through his mind when he saw the positive test
I've been certainly thinking about COVID and talking to people about COVID for the better part of two years, even before I was surgeon general. But when it hits home, it always feels a bit different.

I just had this sinking feeling, thinking, 'Oh my gosh, she's four years old, she's not vaccinated because there is no vaccine available for her age group.' And as a parent, my questions were: Is she going to be OK? Could I have done something else to have prevented her from getting sick?
We have her wearing a mask in school, we take as many precautions as we can, but you know, my wife and I did feel some guilt, wondering if we maybe did something wrong that may have created more exposure for her. So that's what was going through our heads.
On whether he feels frustration at how hard it is, even as the surgeon general, to keep very young kids who still cannot be vaccinated safe
In that moment, especially, but even in the many months prior to that, I had wished that we had a vaccine for kids under five.
Thankfully, we've got a vaccine for children five and up, and for all adults. These under kids under five, like my daughter, are the ones who still don't have that protection.
I wish we had that. But I also know that we need to make sure we have good data and that data is thoroughly assessed by the FDA.

I do think they're moving as quickly as they possibly can. They, in fact, took this step which is unusual of proactively asking [Pfizer-BioNTech] to look at the data for two shots, even though there's a trial ongoing for three shots, because they wanted to know if there's even a chance that the two shots had a good result for kids. They wanted to make that vaccine available as soon as possible. But the data wasn't good enough to meet their threshold, which is why they now need to wait for three doses
Sometimes I wonder if there was a bad code path in the simulation
Vaccine doesn’t keep people from getting Covid.
No one even claims it does anymore.
Total divorce from reality.
This British simp is the Surgeon General and wondered if his 4 year old would be ok? More than anyone, he should know the risk to a 4 year old is utterly infinitesimal.
It is an utterly useless, outdated vaccine against strains of Covid that no longer exist.
This little 4 yo has more chance with the Wu Hu Flu than with the jabs...
OMG!!! STOP THE PRESSES! BREAKING NEWS!

No, the US Surgeon General. his daughter
You know, the guy who has his nose way up Faucis’ butt
Wasn’t she wearing a mask?
Covid is a non-issue for kids.
What a loser.
I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again... We’re living in the stupidest time in American history. “Oh, why, oh why, dear God, why couldn’t my four-year-old have been injected with an experimental mRNA connection to protect her from a two-day cold??” Utter idiocy.

“She’s doing OK. She’s congested, she’s having intermittent fevers still, and she’s telling us her throat is hurting her a lot,...”
That’s IT!?!?
She was never bad off, never will be bad off, it’ll all be gone except maybe a little lingering congestion by the weekend...
...and over that trifle this metrosexual soy boy is hyperventilating all over npr?
Most of my family has had COVID.
NOBODY has ANY comorbidities, so nobody was hospitalized — nobody even came close! One had “The Original” 13mos ago and still hasn’t got a normal sense of smell, one of my sons got a bout of one of the recent variants and had partial loss of sense of smell but it all came back, and he was only ill for a couple days. My youngest daughters had it — they were mildly feverish for a day then tired the next, then wanted to get back to school — the most arduous part of the whole experience was the ham-fisted leftist bureaucracy!!
So he wants us to know that he is clueless what to do for his daughter and feels helpless?
Dude, you’re the Surgeon General. Why don’t you look into therapeutics!!!
This is vomiting stomach chunks bad.
My middle grand daughter got Covid a year ago. No omicron....just the original. She did fine. No one in my family or her doctor ever used that as an excuse to get babies vaccinated.
What are the benefits they are currently claiming for the “vaccine”?
Omg Maybe you have the covid, please report to your local dna capture/testing center immediately
What the??? Half the kids in my neighborhood have gotten COVID and you know what happens- nothing! They watch TV, play games, drive their parents up the wall and after a couple of weeks they go back to school.
in G.B.?
This is US Surgeon General...Why are his kids living in G.B.?
