Meghan McCain Puts Her Foot In It With Jaw-Dropping COVID-19 Vaccine Take

Twitter users took a dim view of Meghan McCain after she made a breathtakingly self-centered comment about the COVID-19 vaccine.

On Monday’s episode of “The View,” the show’s co-hosts discussed an interview Dr. Anthony Fauci had Sunday with CNN’s Dana Bash, where he avoided making concrete projections about mask-wearing because there were too many variables.

McCain wasn’t happy that Fauci wouldn’t offer specifics on whether someone could go see friends and family after being vaccinated, and demanded that President Joe Biden fire Fauci because of it.

The fact that Fauci can’t tell her that if she gets the vaccine she’ll be able to have dinner with her family is ”terribly inconsistent messaging,” McCain said.

McCain then did the COVID-19 equivalent of “Do you know who I am?” and lamented her celebrity status isn’t helping her get the shot.

“The fact that I, Meghan McCain, co-host of The View, don’t know when or how I will be able to get a vaccine because the rollout for my age range and my health is so nebulous, I have no idea when and how I get it,” she said. “I want to get it. If you call me at three o’clock in the morning, I will go any place at any time to get it.”

Although McCain admitted that former president Donald Trump was responsible for many of the problems associated with the vaccine rollout, she said she’s “over Dr. Fauci.”

McCain also noted that Israel has vaccinated more than half its population and baselessly suggested that Fauci’s lack of understanding of science is impeding efforts to get Americans vaccinated.

“I think we need to have more people giving more opinions and honestly quite frankly, I think the Biden administration should remove him and put someone else in place that does understand science or can talk like these other countries about how we can be more like these other places that are doing this successfully,” she said.
