4:33Now PlayingOn Sunday, CNN’s Jake Tapper showed Dr. Anthony Fauci, Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, a video clip from CPAC where the crowd loudly cheered while Alex Berenson dunked on the government for not convincing a higher percentile of U.S. citizens to get vaccinated. Fauci said the crowd’s reaction to the deadly anti-vaccine message from the Conservative Political Action Conference in Texas this weekend was “horrifying” and “frightening.” Sam Seder and the Majority Report crew discuss this.

Sam Seder: CPAC happened this weekend. That is where all the lunatics in the country go for a weekend to say, "hi," to each other and network. "Look at this innovation I have in insanity," "Well let me top that out with this innovation in my insanity." And then they get together...
Emma Vigeland: And synergize the insanity.
Sam Seder: They synergize. Here is Anthony Fauci, not as used to CPAC, I imagine, as most of us who are in this business, where we watch it every year in the same way that you would like...
Emma Vigeland: Not used to being a central figure at CPAC at the very least.
Sam Seder: Right. It's sort of like...
Emma Vigeland: A subject of conversation.
Sam Seder: But it's like I don't know, the first time you see penguins walk up onto the beach or something? Like the march of the penguins, but if you work in that industry, you're like yeah it just happens. Well, here it is. Here is Anthony Fauci watching a clip about vaccination, and he is horrified. Remember we now know that while the Delta variant can be responsible for breakthrough infections, in terms of hospitalizations and deaths, it is about as close to, you're not quite a hundred percent safe, but you're close to about 95, 98 percent safe from hospitalization or death if you are vaccinated. And here is Anthony Fauci watching people shower and bathe and swim in just pure ignorance and potentially Covid.
Anthony Fauci: ...to do with politics. It's a public health issue. It doesn't matter who you are. The virus doesn't know whether you're a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent. For sure, we know that. And yet, there is that divide of people wanting to get vaccinated and not wanting to get vaccinated, which is really unfortunate because it's losing lives.
Jake Tapper: The Conservative Political Conference CPAC is going on this weekend. I want to play for you a clip of one of the speakers from that event yesterday.
Alex Berenson: They were hoping, the government was hoping, that they could sort of sucker 90 percent of the population into getting vaccinated, and it isn't happening, right. There's a younger people...
Jake Tapper: I'm going to cut him off right there, because he just goes on to say things that are not true about the vaccine. But what I wanted to get your reaction to is the crowd cheering when this gentleman talks about how the government was not able to achieve a 90 percent vaccine goal. The crowd cheers. As a public health official, what's your reaction when you hear that?
Anthony Fauci: It's horrifying. I mean they're cheering about someone saying that it's a good thing for people not to try and save their lives. If you just unpack that for a second Jake, it's almost frightening to say, "Hey, guess what, we don't want you to do something to save your life." "Yay!" Everybody starts screaming and and clapping. I just don't get that. I don't think that anybody who's thinking clearly can get that. What is that all about? I don't understand that, Jake.
Jake Tapper: On the other side of the political spectrum, the former health...
Sam Seder: Jake has no answer for that because he doesn't want to say.
Emma Vigeland: Alex Berenson, who "The Atlantic" wrote a piece on him called "The Pandemic's Wrongest Man." I would encourage people to read it because he's been wrong every single step of the way when it comes to the pandemic and predictions and just in science that he purports.
Sam Seder: And he seems to shift a little bit too. He's sort of like one of those guys like, when I play 21 I'm always going to hit on 13, and then I'm always gonna not hit on 13.
Emma Vigeland: Well you know when you're trying to pretend to be calling shots you've got to cover your bases by calling every shot.
Sam Seder: There you go.
