“They’re playing Russian roulette with the lives of children,” said the host of “The View” in a live segment that also looked Florida’s plans to end school vaccine mandates.
Goldberg — toward the start of the show’s Season 29 premiere — flipped to clips of Kennedy getting grilled by lawmakers from both sides of the aisles over his vaccine policies before she highlighted him cancelling $500 million in mRNA vaccine contracts and his vaccine skeptic-filled advisory committee.
“Any time you go to a school, it is a — who knows what’s in there? They sneeze, everybody gets sick. You think you’re dying, you know, but you’re not, you just got hit by kid stuff. We know that this happens,” she said.
“There are reasons that people put these mandates in place. Now, you want to get rid of all of them? You’re basically saying, ‘Let’s see what happens if your kid goes to school with other kids.’ And your grandparents, who are elderly, are in with your grandkids. So now, you’re saying, y’all don’t care.”
