Jeffrey Toobin, aka the CNN Zoom masturbator, described himself as “a complete hardliner” while defending Covid-19 vaccines being forced on society — a stance that ignores the reality that the jab did not stop a person from getting the coronavirus or from transmitting it to others.
Plugging a new book, Toobin appeared on the “PBD Podcast” with host Patrick Bet-David who brought up vaccine mandates.
“You tried to force down the vaccine on me, and I didn’t like that. I don’t like what you did there as well. So when you say, ‘I don’t like what Fox did,’ there are tens of millions who say ‘I can’t stand what the mainstream media did to judge me just because I wasn’t ready to take the vaccine,’” Bet-David said. “You made me feel like a moron because I’m not willing to take it. That part is a little bit [of a] double standard.”
VACCINATION BY FORCE.@JeffreyToobin explains why he was in favor of vaccination by force. @patrickbetdavid pushes back.

“I’m sorry. I’m a complete hardliner on this,” Toobin responded. “At CNN and at Fox you were not allowed in the building unless you were vaccinated.”
When asked if he thought that was “the right thing to do,” Toobin replied: “I thought it was exactly the right thing to do.”
“It’s a communicable disease that could, that you could reduce your risk to yourself and to the people around you, to a scientific certainty, and that was a rule that was excellent, and I was glad CNN had that rule,” he said. “I’m sure the people at Fox were glad they had that rule. Again, this is not, you’re allowed to have opinions about anything you want. But at some point, when your opinions put other people at physical risk, as vaccine denial did, that crossed a line for me.”
The real “vaccine denial” going on here seems to be upselling the efficacy of a vaccine society is just beginning to come to terms with as far as long-term effects are concerned. But then, omnipotent moral busybodies on the left are too busy lecturing us on what’s best for society to pay attention to.
Here’s a sampling of responses to the story from Twitter:
Get him, Pat. It’s always “bodily autonomy” when it’s snuffing out a person, but not when it’s about my own medical interventions. Hypocrites.

I wonder what @jeffreytoobin says about the new @ClevelandClinic study that shows that those vaccinated are at a higher risk of infection.
Isn’t that a wild thought. The vaccinated were actually the ones putting lives at risk.

Excellent interview, but toobin can pound sand.
How effective were these shots in preventing transmission or infection?
Well, now it’s proven that the more shots you took, the more likely you were to get it.
That seems like higher transmission rates to me— Jason “Storm Chaser” Nelson (@RealJasonNelson) June 27, 2023
His whole argument does not make any sense since taking the vaccine did not mean you could not pass it on, or that it stops the spread which we know it never did. All it did was reduce risk of death in which case it should be a personal choice. You could get it and still pass it.

How exactly did people that chose to not vax put others life in danger?
If you are vaxed you can catch it.
If you are vaxed you can pass it.
