Jim Cramer of CNBC went on a rant against Americans who are not vaccinated and asked for the U.S. to establish a COVID-19 vaccination mandate.
Cramer took precious airtime during the Nov. 29 edition of CNBC’s Mad Money to express his fury at Americans who won’t get the jab: “It’s time to admit that we have to go to war against COVID.” Then came Cramer’s dip into absurdity: “Require universal vaccination. It should be administered by the military.It is important to be prepared if you aren’t interested in getting vaccinated. Your status of conscientious objector must be proven in court.” It was like Cramer was trying to sell the COVID-19 spinoff of Mel Gibson’sHacksaw Ridge (2016). He continued patronizing unvaccinated Americans: “You need to help in the war effort by staying home until we finally beat this thing.”
Cramer chose to kick off his bumbling segment by fearmongering over the omicron COVID-19 variant: “How do we finally put an end to this pandemic? How do we save lives and get business back to normal so everybody can put dinner on the table?” Here was his idea: “Simple. Federal government must require that vaccines be required for every American by Jan. 1..”
The CNBC host couldn’t stop himself. He spewed bile at Americans: “We have immunocompromised people who are incubators for every variant to come, walking around lawfully unvaccinated? That’s psychotic!” Cramer must have missed that “[p]eople inoculated against Covid-19 are just as likely to spread the delta variant of the virus to contacts in their household as those who haven’t had shots, according to new research,” as Bloomberg News reported Oct. 28.
Cramer continued to whine nonsensically:
There are companies who have worked hard to make sure people get vaccinated, but now they’re backing off. We have governors who want to be president by grandstanding on a foolish state’s right issue, the right to get sick and get other people sick!
Conservatives are being attacked. Contact CNBC at (201) 735-2622 and demand it distance itself from Cramer’s wild call for a military-run universal vaccine mandate.
