Anthony Fauci compares COVID-19 to measles to justify his shifting herd immunity estimates, citing a 98% effectiveness rate for the measles vaccine. He references a past measles outbreak among Orthodox Jews in New York City to explain "breakthrough" infections. The hosts and Jimmy Dore critique Fauci's "humble" persona, arguing he is obfuscating the truth to manipulate public behavior.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has shifted focus from "flattening the curve" to targeting specific "clusters" of COVID-19 cases by city block, particularly within Ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities. Cuomo stated that religious groups must "follow the rules of the state" regardless of First Amendment protections. This approach is described as a move toward total state control rather than a legitimate public health strategy.
The CDC warned that the United States is at risk of losing its measles elimination status by October 1st due to ongoing outbreaks. Health officials have pointed to low vaccination rates in specific communities, including Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods in New York, as a primary factor.
