CNN medical analyst Dr. Leana Wen warned the Biden administration that they have a very “narrow window” for inoculating as many people as they can to COVID-19 as states begin lifting coronavirus restrictions, urging that messaging should tie vaccinations to Americans’ “freedoms.”
What are the details?
Wen, the former president of Planned Parenthood, joined CNN host Chris Cuomo during a March 10 interview and emphasized the importance of making it “clear” to anyone apprehensive about taking the vaccine “that the vaccine is the ticket to pre-pandemic life.”
“The window to do that is really narrowing,” Wen continued. “You were mentioning, Chris, about how all these states are reopening. They’re reopening at 100%. And we have a very narrow window to tie reopening policy to vaccination status.”
She explained:
“Because otherwise, if everything is reopened, then what’s the carrot going to be? How are we going to incentivize people to actually get the vaccine? So that’s why I think the CDC and the Biden administration needs to come out a lot bolder and say, ‘If you are vaccinated, you can do all these things. Here are all these freedoms that you have.’ Because otherwise, people are going to go out and enjoy these freedoms anyway.'”
Wen added, “I fear a situation of coming into the fall, where we never reach heard immunity, and then we get hit by the next surge of COVID-19…something that we could have prevented if we just got people vaccinated now.”

The Biden administration has faced criticism from both the right and left for providing little incentive to those who are apprehensive about taking COVID-19 vaccines from doing so.
In February, conservative co-host of “The View” Meghan McCain called for the replacement of Dr. Anthony Fauci over his refusal to say that elderly Americans would be able to see their grandchildren in accordance with government guidance even after being fully vaccinated against the disease.
Following her own criticism of former President Donald Trump for his handling of the crisis, McCain went on to say, “We’re in the Biden administration and I, for one, would like something to look forward to and to hope for. Because if getting the vaccine means that just nothing changes and we have to wait another few years until everyone gets it — there’s already people not getting it and we’re already having a messaging problem getting people to take this vaccine.”
Anything else?
This week, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said that she is “scared” and fears “impending doom” over the rising numbers of COVID-19 cases spiking in some states, but stressed that data “suggest that vaccinated people do not carry the virus.”
Walensky urged the public to “just hold on a little longer, get vaccinated when you can, so that all of those people that we all love will still be here when this pandemic ends.”
That’s what I want to hear, from a person of Chinese ancestry.. Ya, right!
You mean from a person who has spent the majority of her life seeing to it that she and her organization kill as many unborn human beings as possible. We have to ask ourselves: Why on Earth would we be listening to what she thinks are ‘life-saving’ ideas, from someone responsible for so many human deaths?
So a former president of Planned Parenthood, who relied heavily on “my body, my choice,” wants to tie civil rights to mandatory vaccinations? By Planned Parenthood standards not only can the government not tell me that I need to be vaccinated but they should also give me money to impose my non-vaccinated status on others.
Since she was use to killing babies it’s no surprise that she has no problem killing rights and freedoms of citizens in this country.
My brother and I had the virus this past December. It was rough but we’re now immune. They can take their vaccinations and shove them.
Amen! In America we still have freedom of choice when it comes to medical interventions.
Not really.
Try getting Laetrile…
Let’s tie TRUTH IN BROADCASTING to ALL news networks staying on the air
Heck vaccinations might be more acceptable if the vaccines were more than 78% effective. You still have a 22% chance of catching it after taking vaccine. And if they would open up and remove mask mandates after getting it.
After getting vaccine you still have to maintain social distance and wear mask to “avoid” chance of passing COVID to others or still catching it yourself. And until they get the results they want there will always be a new variant. After all how effective is the annual flu vaccine? And that was also related to a variant of SARS-2
Okay so the lady who is for killing babies even as late as the 9th month now wants to lock you up unless you get a vaccine. How do you enforce this simple the cop stop you and say papers please and if your papers don’t say you have been vaccinated then you are arrested sound like another country you might have read about ? The other odd fact is Chris Cuomo was one of the people yelling this vaccine should not even be released when President Trump was and is still our president. What changed that now he is calling to make it mandatory for everyone to take it from him saying he would not take the vaccine that Trump put out ? This is the same vaccine he and his brother were against they both got it before others that were suppose to get it before them. Then again Chris is the same guy who threatened his neighbor who caught him out when he tested positive and refused to obey the self quarantine rules ! Honestly these two are the last two people who should be talking about saving lives one spent her life killing babies. The other openly defied the quarantine rules when he had the virus and wants to take away the freedom of those who are not positive but when he was positive it was okay for him to go out and endanger other people this is beyond hypocrisy this is evil and wrong.
Graybeard that is exactly what the socialist/democrat overlords want. They have been practicing say “vhere arhhe your peppers” for decades.
Isn’t this the same woman who was in charge of killing thousands of unborn children. Yup! Just another radical of the left at work here.
We need a REWARD for getting back to normal? OUR RIGHTS do not require a Carrot!!
as long as socialist/democrats are in office our rights are hostage to their demands.
Better title.
“CNN Analyst encourages Biden Administration to behave like a Dictator, doling out restricted amounts of freedom for blind obedience.”
send that Chinese bitch back to where she came from. telling the American people what to do .when she was in charge of planned parent hood and was selling baby body parts to who ever wanted them. she should be fucking jail for murder.
I guess being born and educated in Communist China, she wouldn’t know about our US Constitution and Bill of Rights…
I have bad news for her, this gain of function virus has a couple of more stages(variants).
I also think Peking should be bombed.
So where is the freedom to decide what goes into your body? This goes against everything planned parenthood stands for. “my body my choice”. Once again the galactic hypocrisy.
Well of course a female that is of Asian DNA is in favor of restricting freedoms. That is what they do! Remember folks. if the government can “give” you freedom, they can just as easily TAKE your freedom. The only freedom you have is what the creator gave you, and the only way you can keep those freedoms is to enforce them with the business end of a firearm if needed!
The United States of America was not founded by the British GIVING us freedom. We fought, bled, and died for it; and it is time to do so again against the Neo-fascist democrats hell-bent on destroying this country!
Wen a hell bound baby killer. Enjoy the fire.
