The prominent Republican responded to a recent CNN interview in which Fauci declined to make a recommendation on whether vaccinated grandparents could visit their non-vaccinated children and grandchildren.
“So I was very frustrated when I saw this clip,” McCain said. The TV host then emphasized that she had ‘respect’ for the ‘tragedy’ of the coronavirus pandemic and that she did not want to appear to be ‘diminishing’ its devastating impact.
‘That said,’ McCain added, ‘next week will be a year since we left the studio, and I was as responsible in many different ways as so many Americans were. And the fact that dr. Fauci goes on CNN and he can not tell me that if I get the vaccine, I will be able to eat with my family.
“These are terribly inconsistent messages and they still remain conflicting messages,” she said.
But it was McCain’s suggestion that dr. Fauci did not understand science and that he had to be removed from his federal position, which angered some viewers.
‘The fact that I, Meghan McCain, co-host of The view, “do not know when or how I will be able to get a vaccine, because the rollout for my age group and my health is so nebulous, that I have no idea when and how I will get it,” McCain said.

She added: ‘I want to be responsible and of course wait my turn, but this implementation was a disaster. And I understand that President Trump can take a lot of the blame, but now we’re in the Biden government and I would like something to look forward to and to hope for, because if the vaccination gets, it nothing changes and we have to wait a few more years until everyone gets it, there are already many people who do not get it. ”
‘So I’m past Dr. Fauci, ‘McCain said. ‘I think we should have more people who should give more opinions and honestly, I think Biden’s government should remove him and put in place someone who understands science or like these other countries can talk about how we can be more like these others may be places that do it successfully. ”
McCain’s statements, at least according to the reactions on Twitter, did not go down well with the public.
‘It’s deaf deaf’, tweeted journalist Ernest Owens. “I got a better idea. @ABC, dismissing McCain for her bratty sense of justice. ”

“Does Meghan McCain understand that Fauci is an expert / medical adviser for infectious diseases and that it is not his job to find out the logistics around the distribution of vaccines? (this is a rhetorical question, she clearly does not understand it), ”he said Business Insider political reporter John Haltiwanger.
Mediasake Editor-in-Chief Parker Molloy wrote‘I hereby suggest that Meghan McCain be the last person in the US to be admitted to the vaccine. That’s just fair. ”
After host McCain’s remarks Sunny Hostin joined dr. Defending Fauci, saying Trump should be blamed for the country’s pandemic misery, not Fauci.
‘Former two-year-old scandal-plagued President Trump has once downplayed science [and] made sure people do not follow science … other countries do not. He politicized masks, he had these super-distributor events. “As a result, Americans died,” Hostin said.
“I think we need to listen to the scientists. I do not think we should despise Fauci. I do not think we need to despise the World Health Organization. I do not think we need to despise the CDC. If we as Americans just follow science and listen to the leaders in these areas who have dedicated their lives to saving lives, we would have been in a much better place. ‘
