Hi @tedcruz thanks for watching #TheReidOut though perhaps you might listen more carefully. Iâve no doubt youâll take the vaccine. Like Rupert Murdoch you want to survive the pandemic. But by attacking frontline docs like @VinGuptaMD you show callousness toward OTHERSâ safety. https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1340164405271662596
Let me quote you again: âThis is a bizarre, lunatic, totalitarian cult. Itâs not about vaccines or protecting peopleâs livesâit is instead profoundly anti-science, and is only focused on absolute govt control of every aspect of our lives.â ... âCult?â âAnti-science?â projection?
@VinGuptaMD and I indeed discussed your insinuation that scientists and clinicians want to exert total government control over Americansâ lives by advising continued masking, hand washing and distancing when in fact their goal is to make sure people HAVE the rest of their lives.
Advising vaccinated people to keep masking up and distancing until we reach a critical mass of Americans who are also safe and vaccinated isnât âtotalitarian.â Itâs pro-health and pro-life: Hereâs a fact check on your mean-tweet from a hometown source: https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/politifact/2020/12/18/fact-check-health-leaders-urge-vaccinated-people-wear-masks-anti-science/3956378001/
One would hope that a public servant, particularly one whose state is in the midst of a covid crisis, would want to advocate policies that keep people safe (just as we expect our elected officials to believe in and stand up for democratic elections...) https://www.tpr.org/san-antonio/covid-19-tracker
This was from just a couple of weeks ago: your state is suffering, Senator, and the vaccines wonât be broadly available before spring. What you do and how you message about preventing the spread counts. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2020/11/13/texas-passes-1-million-covid-cases-and-experts-warn-of-surge-unlike-anything-we-have-seen/
Hopely that helps! Thanks again for watching #TheReidOut and wishing you and your lovely wife and family a safe and merry Christmas. Prayerfully, the president whom you so dutifully serve has wished you all the same. Cheers.
And of course youâre welcome to come on the show if youâd like to discuss this further, outside of @twitter. Iâll have our booking team reach out.
