After Steve Doocy pointed out that 99% of COVID-19 deaths are of unvaccinated people, Brian Kilmeade said, “That’s their choice!”
During a Fox and Friends segment on the COVID-19 vaccine, co-host Steve DoocyΒ encouraged viewers to get their shots, saying that β99% of the people who died have not been vaccinated.β
Kilmeade, however, felt compelled to stick up for the vaccine-hesitant β whose failure to take action has made it easier for coronavirus variants to spread.
βThatβs their choice,β he cut in.
βThey donβt wanna die,β Doocy responded, βso the administration and the government is saying we need the mask mandate to protect the unvaccinated.β
Many Twitter users responded to Kilmeade, saying that protecting citizens is, in fact, the governmentβs duty.
