Speaker 1: This past Sunday, Jack Tapper, host of CNN State of
Speaker 1: the Union show, interviewed Dr de Fauci, who heads the
Speaker 1: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Dr de Fauci
Speaker 1: told Tapper that even if a vaccine for the coronavirus
Speaker 1: is brought to market and widely distributed, we cannot abandon
Speaker 1: fundamental public health measures. So even if you get the vaccine,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to keep wearing a mask and you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to keep hunkering down. That's because even with
Speaker 1: a ninety rate of effectiveness, people who take the vaccine
Speaker 1: won't necessarily know how effective it is for them. After
Speaker 1: hearing that gloom and doom assessment from Dr Fauci, Dr
Speaker 1: Tapper had a diagnosis of his own. He declared that
Speaker 1: Christmas probably not going to be possible this year. So,
Speaker 1: just like that on CNN, Christmas is over before it
Speaker 1: even gets started. Well, I have a prediction for you,
Speaker 1: Jacob Paul Tapper, despite what you may hope, there will
Speaker 1: be a Christmas this year, at least in my house,
Speaker 1: and next year and every year that human beings continue
Speaker 1: to populate the earth. Neither the coronavirus nor CNN or
Speaker 1: any other plague is going to stop people from celebrating
Speaker 1: one of the holiest and most treasured days of their lives.
Speaker 1: And Jake, there isn't a single grinch like journalist who
Speaker 1: can ever stop Christmas. You don't have that kind of
Speaker 1: power and you never will. Sorry,
