Joy Behar's three-word message for people who refuse to get vaccinated
Share this @internewscast.com

The View host and outspoken critic of the Trump administration Joy Behar had a blistering three-word message for any audience members who were not vaccinated.

In a sudden outburst, she said: ‘If you’re not [vaccinated], don’t come back.’

The blistering remark came Tuesday after the show’s hosts began discussing a new poll that found one in six parents had delayed or skipped some vaccines for their children.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said: ‘The majority of parents still support immunizations, but there’s been declining trust in childhood vaccines since the pandemic. When did people stop trusting their pediatricians? That’s the person who has your baby.’

Shifting round to the audience, she then said: ‘Can I just ask one question? Everybody that has been vaccinated in this audience, just put your hands up.’

The panel noted that virtually ‘everyone’ raised their hands, prompting Goldberg to add: ‘And you’re all still alive? I’m just checking’.

Co-host Sunny Hostin began to call the statistic ‘terrifying’ when Behar made her remark.

It comes amid another low-point in childhood vaccination rates across America as many parents say they have lost confidence in recommendations.

Vaccination rates among kindergarteners slipped for the third year in a row over the last school year, with 92.5 percent now protected against measles down from 95.2 percent in 2019 to 2020.

Similar drops have been seen for whooping cough, 95.2 to 92.1 percent, and polio, 95 to 92.5 percent, the latest data show.

At the same time, trust in public health agencies has declined, with a recent KFF Poll finding fewer than half of the public say they have confidence in the FDA and CDC.

And MAGA is currently waging a war over whether to mandate vaccines, with Florida this month becoming the first state to say it would drop the inoculation requirements for school children.

But President Donald Trump undermined the state’s position just two days later in a statement from the Oval Office.

He urged parents to get their children vaccinated ‘otherwise some people are going to catch it [a disease] and they endanger other people’.

During the filming for the Tuesday show, all The View co-hosts expressed their strong support for vaccination.

After her outburst, Behar followed up saying many parents were refusing to get their children vaccinated because they were getting information from ‘the top’.

‘We have come in this country to the point where the head of Health and Human services is being run by somebody who has no degree in health or human services,’ she said.

‘You might as well give me the job.’

Hostin was quick to express her support for vaccinations, adding: ‘There’s this notion out there that, “I don’t have to get vaccinated because everyone else is vaccinated, and there will be this herd immunity”.

‘Do we know how many children can become severely ill or perhaps, God forbid, die?’

She added: ‘As a parent myself, I had both of my kids vaccinated, but I do wonder why a parent would make the choice not to protect their child?’

In the US, and many other countries, vaccination rates began to dip following the Covid pandemic amid distrust sparked by the coronavirus vaccines.

The CDC recommended the shots for everyone aged six months and over, even though healthy children and adults have a low risk of serious disease or death from the virus.

This was reversed by new HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Junior in May this year, bringing the US into line with other countries including the UK and Sweden.

The HHS Secretary appeared at a Senate hearing this month, where he said he did not expect the CDC to change its recommendations for parents to get their children the measles, mumps and rubella shot.

He added that he thinks parents ‘should be free’ to get their children immunized.

When asked by Sen Bennet whether parents who want to vaccinate will be free and able to do so, Kennedy said: ‘I assume they will be’ but provided no further explanation.
