Immunologist regrets voting for Biden after 'draconian' vaccine mandate

ARE. BRIAN: SAYS HE REGRETS VOTING FOR JOE BIDEN AFTER THE PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED STRICT VACCINE MANDATES. HE SAYS I VOTED FOR BIDEN AS McCAIN REPUBLICAN IT WAS AN ERROR YOU NOW REGRET IT. THURSDAY NIGHT'S CHEST BEATING ONE OF THE MOST DIVISIVE SPEECHES EVER GIVEN BY A U.S. PRESIDENT WHO CLAIMS TO BE A WELL REASONED EUROPE NIGHTER ACTING ON SCIENCE. JOINING US IS DR. HOOMAN, WHAT BROUGHT TO YOU THAT POINT? >> GOOD MORNING, BRIAN. THANKS FOR HAVING ME. I WAS REFLECTING THIS PAST WEEKEND ON THE 9/11 REMEMBRANCE AND I REMEMBER BACK IN 2001 HOW ESSENTIALLY EVERY MEDIA OUTLET WAS UNITED AND TRANSMITTING THE SAME MESSAGE. YOU KNOW, WE ARE IN A POSITION WHERE OUR COUNTRY FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS HAS BEEN TREMENDOUSLY DIVIDED AND, YOU KNOW, FRANKLY AS A FRIEND TO JOHN McCAIN, YOU KNOW, I FELT THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN STANDS A CHANCE OF UNITING THE COUNTRY, ACTING ON SCIENCE, TAKING DOWN THE TEMPERATURE, IF YOU WILL. AND, YOU KNOW, ON THURSDAY, I FINALLY CAME TO THE RECOGNITION AS IMMUNOLOGIST BASED ON THE RIGIDITY OF THIS MANDATE AND THE MASSIVE BLUNDER THAT'S CONTAINED WITHIN IT THIS IS NOT HAPPENING. I HAVE TO SAY THE MANDATE AS IT STANDS ESSENTIALLY IS TO OPEN THE DOOR TO DISCRIMINATION AGAINST 80 TO 100 MILLION AMERICANS NATURALLY IMHUMANITY. THESE FOLKS ARE BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES POINTED TO THEM AND OPENED THE DOOR TO MASSIVE LEVEL OF DISCRIMINATION. IT'S NOT JUST VERBAL DISCRIMINATION. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT. I CAN'T TELL YOU THE NUMBER OF EMAILS I RECEIVE EVERY DAY OF AMERICANS WHO ARE NATURALLY IMMUNE AND I KNOW FROM A SCIENTIFIC PERSPECTIVE AND I KNOW SOME OF YOUR GUESTS IN THE PAST HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS CERTAINLY DR. MAKARY HAS BEEN ON WITH TUCKER AND VARIETY OF DIFFERENT POSTS. NATURAL IMMUNITY IS AS EFFECTIVE, IF NOT NO SO THAN VACCINE IMMUNITY. SO THE NOTION THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES LEAVES THE DOOR OPEN TO THIS LEVEL OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST A MASSIVE CLASS OF AMERICANS IS JUST TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. BRIAN: DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS STRUCK BY WITH YOUR HUGE -- WITH THIS RICH BACKGROUND UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. THIS IS YOUR AREA OF EXPERTISE. BUT YOU SAY IT'S UNSCIENTIFIC. IT'S ILLEGAL BUT YOU ALSO SAY IT'S UNETHICAL TO GIVE SOMEBODY A VACCINE WHEN THEY HAVE NATURAL IMMUNITY AND IF 75% OF THE COUNTRY HAS ALREADY GOTTEN ONE SHOT AND FACTOR IN THE NATURAL IMMUNITY, MAYBE THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON HERE, DOCTOR. AND MAYBE PEOPLE AREN'T VACCINATED AREN'T VILLAINS AS THEY ARE BEING MADE OUT TO BE? >> WELL, LOOK, I THINK CERTAINLY THERE IS A PLACE FOR IMMUNITY MANDATES, RIGHT? I MEAN ESPECIALLY IN PLACES OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. BUT THE REALITY IS AND THE MIDST OF THIS OUTBREAK, THERE ARE ABOUT 100 MILLION AMERICANS ACCORDING TO CDC ESTIMATES WHO ARE ALREADY NATURAL IMMUNE. THESE FOLKS ARE FOR THE MOST PART THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY IMMUNE AND I THINK THE NOTION THAT, YOU KNOW, IF ANY PARTICULAR SUBSET OF THESE FOLKS WANTS TO AVOID THE VACCINATIONS AT THIS TIME, THEY WOULD BE FORCED AT THE RISK OF LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT OR EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. I THINK IT'S COMPLETELY DRACONIAN. BRIAN: IT'S NUTS. >> FRANKLY IT GOES IN THE FACE OF MEDICAL NECESSITY AND, FRANKLY, I THINK IT'S A CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATION. RIGHT NOW WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF LITIGATING A CASE OUT IN MICHIGAN AGAINST MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY, THE PLAINTIFF IS GINA NORRIS AND NEW CIVIL LIBERTIES ALLIANCE IS GOING TO BE LITIGATING THIS IN FEDERAL COURT. BRIAN: GOOD. >> THE IDEA IS THIS ACTUALLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL THING WHEN IT COMES TO THE CLASS OF NATURAL -- MILLIONS OF AMERICANS NATURALLY IMMUNE. I BELIEVE IT'S MEDICALLY, ETHICALLY INCORRECT AND CERTAINLY IT'S VERY LIKELY IT'S CONSTITUTIONALLY A VIOLATION AS WELL. BRIAN: I CAN'T TELL YOU AS SOMEONE APOLITICAL LIKE YOU, A DOCTOR WHO IS AN EXPERT IN THE FIELD SAYING IT HAS SO MUCH

Biden makes zero sense. In one breath he says the vaccination is effective and safe and then immediately says the vaccinated must be protected from the unvaccinated. And then, apparently Covid is extra dangerous is you work at a company that has more than 100 people.
