Geraldo Rivera Rips Into ‘Arrogant Selfish’ Unvaccinated People Not Getting Tested: ‘No Shirt No Shoes No Vaccine No Service’
Geraldo #Geraldo
Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera went off on Tuesday saying that unvaccinated people who are not regularly getting tested are acting “arrogant” and “selfish.”
The Five was reacting to the CDC revising mask mandates and recommending vaccinated people mask up in places with high covid-19 transmission.
Rivera criticized Jesse Watters for linking a rise in covid cases in some states to immigration policy, saying he’s “appalled” by him making that claim “without any evidence.”
“Where is your proof?” he asked.
“It’s called common sense, Geraldo,” Watters said.
“Common sense is not proof!’ Rivera responded.
“You don’t think it’s a coincidence that all of these variants are popping up in the very places on the border that Biden has opened?” Watters shot back.
Rivera accused him of “bend[ing] over backwards to demonize that population.” Watters said he’s “demonizing Joe Biden.”
Rivera also had this to say about people who are still unvaccinated:
If you are unvaccinated then you should at least get tested every week, on your own or understand why you are banned from the VA, why you are banned from restaurants, why you are banned from other businesses and colleges increasingly, and they should be. Because it’s selfish. If you are unvaccinated and you are going around without being tested, you are an arrogant, selfish SOB.
Greg Gutfeld asked if he has proof of people “wandering around willy-nilly spreading the disease.”
“You want evidence? 99 percent of the people sick in the hospitals in Los Angeles County of covid were unvaccinated. How is that for proof?” Rivera said.
Gutfeld brought up cases of immunocompromised people who can’t get the vaccine. Rivera acknowledged that point, but said that’s “a tiny fraction of one percent.”
As the segment wrapped up, Gutfeld mockingly asked Rivera, “What happened to ‘my body, my choice’?”
“I do not believe ‘my body, my choice’ when it comes to the damn vaccine,” Rivera said. “I want you to be vaccinated, and if you are not vaccinated you have to have a reason like [being] immunocompromised.”
“I am absolutely in the camp of no shirt, no shoes, no vaccine, no service.”
