Co-Director of the Center for Vaccine Development at Texas Children’s Hospital Dr. Peter Hotez joins Stephanie Ruhle to discuss pandemic misinformation and how the country can return to normalcy. Aired on 04/19/2021.

Dr. Hotez Breaks Down Vaccine Misinformation, Return To Normal Life | Stephanie Ruhle | MSNBC
I live in Ontario, Canada and received my first dose of Pfizer on Saturday.
@Deborah Freedman keep dreaming… the dems wont let this crisis go to waste
@Paul Wilson wasn’t it supposed to be over right after the election?
Uh huh.
Rip🙏
@Paul Wilson You aren’t even entertaining anymore. Get a new schtick.
@Burt Hulbert That was after it was supposed to be over by (last) Easter
Just imagine wanting to take the vaccine at this stage in the game
@Sarah F filthy communist… better dead than red comrade
@O’boogie Lou I mute traitors. muting you now.
@Paul Wilson tell that to Paul manafort, FSB troll.
@Sarah F what about manafort? cnn admittedly said they were propaganda (Charley Chester, cnn technical director) and since msnbc is saying the same propaganda then you are spewing propaganda. own it 🙂
@Paul Wilson insurrectionist, I am muting you. Go over and spew your hatred on fox, FSB troll.
I’d be happy with Republicans refusing the vaccine if I thought it was just themselves, and their families, they were killing.
I’d prefer nobody die unnecessarily.
Not even dumb Republicans.
@Make Racists Afraid Again In any democracy, every citizen has an absolute right to die of their own stupidity. For some, it is very nearly a duty.
@Chris ONeill Good one. 😝
@Chris ONeill Care to explain why Texas and Mississippi have such low infection rates after all the restrictions have been lifted? Even Fauci can’t do that.
@Lp78Ch ‘If we didn’t do any testing, we would have very few cases.’ (Donald J Trump 12.05.2020)
Red states will become variant cauldrons.
@Rod
Hush chenkov
@Paul Wilson Probably because of the huge number of Arizonans who have been vaccinated. eg. in Maricopa Country, less than 1% have not received any vaccine. Over half have received both doses.
You mean like the blue states are right now.
@1ronin What’s a blue state? Michigan? Because we have a Democratic Governor? Michigan is weird. Go a fifty miles north of Saginaw and you find yourself in Alabama.
@Sarah F Why are Democrats so stupid? Do they not understand why Texas and Mississippi are doing SO WELL because all the idiotic restrictions have been lifted? Herd immunity is the only way out of this “pandemic,” not vaccination.
covid fear news
@One Redjam111 ok clown really funny. now go to the circus 🎪

Lmaoooooo
You queen vladz trolling clowns are hilarious 😂
@James Smith yes it is
make those death count numbers higher….its ratings gold
Hi Steph🐞.👋☺.
Me, you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make the horse drink the water.👍.
Me, you can only help(vaccinate) people that are willing to permit/allow you to help(vaccinate) them.👍.
Me, do not place an unnecessary burden on your mind/psyche. The people that refuse your help, will have to accept whatever health consequences that might occur(incur), because of their decision.👍.
Me, if they refuse to be vaccinated(wear a mask), contract the virus and die. Then they die.👍.
Refuseniks just put the rest of us nearer the next vaccination. And we won’t have to sit next to them when flying in a couple months.
no one cares about your imaginary conversations
@Paul Wilson F.O. loser. Oh, btw: BIDEN WON! tRump LIST!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your little thought exercise leaves out a very important detail, the ignorant luddites, that refuse to be vaccinated, give the virus the opportunity to mutate into another strain, which vaccines can’t prevent. By choosing to be animate tissue cultures, they risk undoing the protection the vaccines gave us.
“(Covid) Vaccine Misinformation…” motivates us, the people of America, to redouble our efforts to rapidly find out at any given moment, including even while On-Line, who among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e. pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to “Convince It Forward” for them to call their doctor and to self-quarantine per CDC guidelines in hopes of stopping this pandemic instead of having more “Mourning In America.” Thus, we’re hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the “UK variant” strain(s) mutations and others like the South African, Brazilian, Californian & “Cluster 5 Mink” mutations rendering current vaccines no longer effective.
@RR , again for a 2nd time here, your not being able to reply appropriately when greeted here means, RR, you’re possibly infected with the COVID-19 coronavirus, which does invade the brain (i.e. “COVID brain fog”) to cause the cognitive impairment (i.e. loss of function) that you exhibit. So again, I advise that, instead of obstinately returning, you call your doctor & self-quarantine per CDC guidelines in hopes of stopping this pandemic instead of having more “Mourning In America” (see my comment at the very top).
For those wondering why “RR” is so cognitively impaired, watch the videos on the hashtagged “Stat COVID-19 Test” playlist.
@HeartDoc Andrew Aww sweetheart, when someone mutes you, they can no longer see your comment, and they don’t get notifications. I just muted you too, so I won’t see any replies. Now go play with your toys and take your meds like a good little boy. Shoooo.
@Kicapu , again for a 2nd time here, your not being able to write that you’re “wonderfully hungry” when greeted here means, Kicapu, you’re possibly infected with the COVID-19 coronavirus, which does invade the brain (i.e. “COVID brain fog”) to cause the cognitive impairment (i.e. loss of function) that you exhibit. So again, I advise that, instead of obstinately returning, you call your doctor & self-quarantine per CDC guidelines in hopes of stopping this pandemic instead of having more “Mourning In America” (see my comment at the very top).
For those wondering why “Kicapu” is so cognitively impaired, watch the videos on the hashtagged “Stat COVID-19 Test” playlist.
Defiant lol
Anti-maskers listen up. If you want to get back to normal, then get VACCINATED!
@M W F Every expert and doctor has been telling us over and effing OVER again to mask up and get vaccinated or we won’t achieve the herd immunity we need – that means at least 80%. What about that do you not get?!
@M W F don’t worry, @Mary is a sheep that actually thinks that the government cares about it’s citizens lol.. The people on TV says something so she blindly listens and does whatever they tell her to do and what and how to think lol… Anything to feel good and feel safe 😂… Those type of people that prefer safety over freedom deserve neither.
@Mary the thing is you care way too much about others instead of the number 1 rule in life, SELF PRESERVATION. As an EMT of 10 years and doing multiple discharges of covid patients from hospitals all through 2020 I can honestly say that it’s BS. The numbers are grossly inflated. What happened to flu cases? It’s like the flu disappeared, meanwhile “covid” is supposedly a thing? 🤔
I’ve literally been on the “front lines” and what the media reports vs what I deal with everyday are two completely different things. Meanwhile a lot of companies and people made a lot of money of off the public’s ignorance/fear and gullibility via MSM. Wake up!
@JasonDrvmz You’re a liar. Now STFD.
TLDR: we will hold you hostage until you submit to our forced medical experiment.
I don’t mask, vax, or distance. I don’t ask for permission.
@One Redjam111 log off now
@Kicapu wtf? ur the selfish one! you want people to get vaccinated
@Gabi123 Rojas321
Take a nap little buddy
Lmaoooooo
@One Redjam111 😐Haha so funny now log off
So you think it is ok to catch it and pass it on to vulnerable people? So you think it is ok not to help prevent the virus from mutating to that degree that the vaccines will not work?
Every individual right has a corresponding duty to subjugate itself to the Common Good, in this case The Public Health Good. I am sick of this ignorance being so widely argued.
I’m still puzzling over how a piece of cloth weighing one gram is an infringement on liberty and freedom.
No, it doesn’t work that way. Exchanging your rights for some virus that you need a test to know you are sick is a joke. The bigger joke is the psychological warfare that is being used against people so they will accept societal changes which will have permanent effects. Masks are one thing but forcing people to get vaccinated is unacceptable.
♥ Stephanie
Lmaoooooo
The queen vladz trolling princess Pavlovs are chirping for their extra ration of borscht as usual 😂
huh?
@Gabi123 Rojas321
Huh ?
imagine wanting to take this vaccine
Imagine being so stupid, or obstinate, that you don’t want it.
@Deborah Freedman mom is that you?
@Deborah Freedman are you a bot ? I see you on a lot of comments or do you just have no life ?
Seat belts, traffic laws, mandatory insurance, registration for the draft, the draft, taxes, child support….minimum drinking age, drug prohibition..etc etc etc
american Immaturity
They want you to think you need to trade your freedom to return to normal. Don’t accept
It was Dementia Joe and clueless Kamala who told us they wouldn’t trust “Trump’s vaccine”-Before the election.
