Senator Barrasso: Democrats Are Guilty of Medical Malpractice
U.S. Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming recently spoke on the Senate floor about how the confusing coronavirus messaging coming from the White House and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is discouraging Americans from getting vaccinated. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.
Senator Barrasso began his comments by expressing his support for the COVID-19 vaccines by saying that it’s simple, vaccines work. Barrasso, a medical doctor, reiterated how the single most important thing you can do to protect yourself and your family is to get vaccinated.
Barrasso addressed the mixed messaging coming from the CDC and the Biden Administration.
According to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center, Wyoming currently has the 4th lowest vaccination rate in the country with 36.5 percent of the population being fully vaccinated. The Wyoming Department of Health has Sheridan County’s fully vaccinated rate at 35.8 percent. Johnson County is at 31 percent while Campbell County is at 19.2 percent.

The Democrats are guilty of a lot more than “medical malpractice,” Senator. I suggest you consult the historical record to find the other charges that could (and should) be levied against them.

Dr Barrasso… just to be clear on what you just stated..that it’s important to get vaccinated for the unvaccinated and the unvaccinated should get vaccinated if they are unvaccinated and while the vaccinated are getting vaccinated they should have the unvaccinated in their family get vaccinated and the Biden administration should be cited for malpractice for sending confusing messages on getting vaccinated for the unvaccinated…isn’t that what he said?…

I think you missed one, “vaccinated/unvaccinated” statement from someone with few leadership qualities.

Once again Dr Barrasso, you only say things that are intended to keep you at the trough – power, status, and access to money! You are guilty of patriotic malpractice – you say nothing as a Senator about the GOP’s support for those who attacked the US capitol and tried to thwart a legal national election. And you are also guilty of medical malpractice, because as a Senator, and a doctor, you could work to persuade the GOP majority in this state to do the simple thing and get vaccinated. But instead of being active promoting the vaccine, you get your shots, say you support vaccines when asked, but you don’t promote this proven medical practice in Wyoming because it would cost you votes from the crazy Repubs here. And then you pander to those crazies hoping to get votes by increasing distrust and discrediting national persons trying to make a positive difference in public health. Because you are acting on your and the Repub’s pursuit of power, you are causing harm to the members of the public. You are a shallow man who lacks integrity and character, and who has betrayed two sacred oaths.

Barrasso is one of the slimiest politicians in Washington. He toes the Idiot Trump’s line. Not to be trusted.

Between you and Trump, I’m not sure who’s the biggest idiot.
“So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous – whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light,” the president said, turning to Dr Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response co-ordinator, “and I think you said that hasn’t been checked but you’re going to test it.”
“And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting,” the president continued.
“And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?
“So it’d be interesting to check that.”
Pointing to his head, Mr Trump went on: “I’m not a doctor. But I’m, like, a person that has a good you-know-what.”

And Biden’s the idiot?

Barrasso once voted to allow dr medical opinions override parents if there was a disagreement. Barrasso should have beenreplaced a long time ago. As far as I’m concerned. He’s no better than the democrats he rails against.

He is doing no one any good at this point. He should have come out publicly, continuously, and forcefully from the moment the vaccines were available. Why, sir, did you not publicly join the vaccination campaign when the Democrats were doing it, including on Fox and all the other media outlets available to you. Shame on you, sir.
