Scott Jennings smirked during an exchange with S.E. Cupp about vaccine misinformation and pregnant people. A vaccine skeptic shot up the CDC, prompting criticism of RFK Jr. and renewed focus on misinformation. President Donald Trump sought to fire CDC director Dr. Susan Monarez amid protests, and several senior officials resigned. Panelists criticized Jennings for emphasizing inclusive language used by vaccine chief Dr. Demetre Daskalakis instead of addressing misinformation. S.E. Cupp forcefully cited settled science on vaccines and autism while Jennings repeatedly interrupted and attempted to deflect. Anchor Abby Phillip and Dr. Chris Pernell condemned comparisons that seemed to diminish the shooting.
Several panelists ganged up on Jennings for focusing on the inclusive language used by one of the resignees, vaccine chief Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, instead of the misinformation and disinformation from RFK Jr. A frustrated Cupp presented Jennings with settled science on vaccines, as Jennings interrupted to say You seem to be very angry with me. I fundamentally agree with you.
PHILLIP: Hold on a second. Scott, there is nobody who is justifying attacks against ICE officials. There and nobody should justify or diminish somebody shooting hundreds of bullets (CROSSTALK) JENNINGS: I'm not. It's terrible. PHILLIP: into a workplace where people are doing (CROSSTALK) PERNELL: Where people are trying to save lives. Where people are practicing public health. (CROSSTALK) PHILLIP: I don't understand why that would even be a comparison that you would make honestly.
