And, as you know, children under age 12 still are not eligible to be vaccinated. So, here in Hamilton County, the vaccination rate remains at about 50 percent - and you talked about the virus that’s spreading. The most important, thankless job in the world: being on a school board. She’s a Democrat currently running for her local school board. She’s a community resource director for a charter school. I want to introduce you to Andrea Granieri. You’re not going to be in a position where you - where your life is in danger. If you do, you’re not likely to get sick. If you’re vaccinated, even if you do catch the “virus,” quote, unquote - like people talk about it in normal terms - you’re in overwhelm- not many people do. This is overwhelming evidence to sustain that.Īnd so, what I say to people who are worried about a new pandemic is: Get vaccinated. And that’s come to a screeching halt for those who’ve been vaccinated. You know, we’ve lost more people in the United States - over 630-some-thousand people than in every major war we’ve ever fought, in the United States of America. You know, the - this pandemic was out of control. THE PRESIDENT: Well, I’m saying - look - (laughs) - it’s a little bit like when I got elected. LEMON: But what do you say to people who are worried about a new round of restrictions and mask mandates and so forth? We’ve made sure that since I got in office, we - we’ve inoculated over 160 million people 85 percent of people over the age of 50. To get - there’s legitimate questions people can ask - that they worry about getting vaccinated - but the questions should be asked, answered, and people should get vaccinated.īut this is not a pandemic. So it’s gigantically important that you act like - we all act like Americans that care about our - our fellow Americans. There’s a simple, basic proposition: If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in an ICU unit, and you’re not going to die. Ten thousand people have recently died 9,950 of them, thereabouts, are people who hadn’t been vaccinated. THE PRESIDENT: Well, the virus - look, here’s the - it’s real simple: We have a pandemic for those who haven’t gotten a vaccination. Do you still feel that way? Is that still the case? So, you said last month that this - that the virus is in retreat. New cases are up three - you know, three times since last month. LEMON: Because you know the pandemic is a big concern for everyone, really, around the world. But I have a couple questions I want to ask you. LEMON: We’re going to get to the audience questions in just a moment. THE PRESIDENT: I’m going to go out in the audience. LEMON: You’d rather stand here and talk to these guys. And I know you don’t want to sit down, right? So, listen, I’m going to get to the audience. THE PRESIDENT: How you doing, pal? Good to see you.
