Judge Jeanine Won’t Take Coronavirus Vaccine: ‘I’m Not Going to Allow Them to Do That to Me”

From the very beginning of his presidency, Fox News host Jeanine Pirro has been one of Donald Trump’s most vociferous supporters. But now that the Trump administration is stepping up efforts to expedite at “warp speed” a vaccine for COVID-19, Pirro says she won’t take the vaccine.

In an interview on the YouTube show London Real, Pirro says she’s skeptical about the safety of a potential vaccine, and then said she would refuse it, even though at age 69, she’s in one of the most vulnerable age groups, according to The Daily Beast.

Host Brian Rose said he’s “just a little hesitant to put untested things in my body without knowing,” and asked Pirro “Is this just another thing we need to be wary of, going forward?”

“Ditto, that means yes,” Pirro said. “Look, the president is doing everything that he can. Operation Warp Speed. And that’s Donald Trump — make it fast, don’t tell me you can’t do this in this amount of time. But we just spent $2 billion to get 100 million vaccines. I mean, who are you going to vaccinate.”

Pirro said she plans to wait until she knows the vaccine is safe.

“I don’t want a vaccine,” she told Rose. “I want a therapeutic. You know, until you tell me that that vaccine is safe, and only time will tell, until you tell me the long-term consequences of that vaccine are, I’m not interested in putting it in my body. And by the way, I’m older, and I probably should be one of the people to be vaccinated. But I won’t.”

“I’m not going to allow them to do that to me,” Pirro said. “And then the question is, will you be forced to do it, you know?”

Unlike some of her Fox News colleagues, Pirro takes the virus more seriously and even posted a photo of herself wearing a mask on social media. But she was all pointed barbs and daggers when Joe Biden wore one in public recently.

“I think it’s hysterical when he and his wife come out together and they’re wearing their masks,” she said. “They’ve been housed together since the pandemic started and they’re wearing masks together when they come out.”

I don’t know, maybe the Bidens are doing that in the hopes of preventing others from being infected? Since masks help prevent that? Apparently Pirro isn’t in that frame of mind, perhaps. Because she thinks the masks are for another purpose.

“What is the point of the mask?” she said. “The point of the mask is to basically kind of dehumanize, it’s to frighten people. You don’t know who’s behind the mask (oh come ON!) It’s to give people cover, it’s exactly what the anarchists and the protesters need. It strikes fear, there is something going on. There are all kinds of subliminal messages to that mask. And he’s always in that black mask.”

You know what really strikes fear into people? Dying. Which is what nearly 159,000 Americans have done since the pandemic has begun. Die. That’s the scary part of what happens when not enough people protect each other.

Here’s a short clip of Pirro’s nonsensical interview with Rose below, in which she discusses anchoring her show from home at the beginning of the pandemic while seeming to be drunk.
