Watch Sean Hannity Get Fact-Checked By CDC Director On Live TV - The Beat - MSNBC
As coronavirus cases continue to surge across the nation, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky joins MSNBC's Ari Melber to discuss the rise in breakthrough cases, the need for booster shots and coronavirus safety fatigue.
Walensky also addresses the misinformation perpetuated by conservative politicians and pundits like Fox News' Sean Hannity, asserting "my job is to give accurate information to the American people. Here is the accurate information: the vast majority of people in this country who are getting infected with Covid, who are showing up in the hospital with Covid, and now who are dying with Covid, are people who have not received this vaccine. Over 85 million people in this country are eligible for a vaccine and are not receiving, and have not yet received it, and my job is to give you the important information that you need so that you will want the vaccine because if you have the information I believe you will. Even if you happen to be one of the breakthrough cases, your case would be far milder than if you didn't have a vaccine." Aired on 08/20/2021.

There must be consequences in this country for these dangerous and hypocritical anti-vaxxers who are contributing to the rampant Covid outbreaks which are overwhelming hospitals and responsible for thousands of deaths. 
They're not just endangering the public, people are actually getting sick and dying!
