Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is encouraging Americans to ignore “bad advice” about COVID-19 vaccines.
On Tuesday, the Kentucky senator was asked, “Would you speak out against people who are speaking out against the vaccine?”
“I don’t know how I can be any more clear than I have been. I’ve been saying the same thing about vaccinations all along the way,” McConnell responded.
He continued, “Others can say whatever they choose to say. But this is something I think I’m a good example of, something I know the answer to. It is not at all unclear that the way to avoiding getting back in the hospital is to get vaccinated.”
“I want to encourage everybody to do that and to ignore all these other voices that are giving demonstrably bad advice,” he added.
McConnell also warned, “These shots need to get into everybody’s arms as rapidly as possible or else we’re gonna be back in a situation in the fall that we don’t yearn for that we went through last year.”
