Scott Jennings: CDC Official Used the Term ‘Pregnant People,’ This Guy Is Not Credible to Me

PHILLIP: “RFK Jr.. Came in knowing what he wanted the science to say.”
PERNELL: “Exactly.”
PHILLIP: “And it sounds like, from that official, what is happening is that he is making pronouncements and then finding things to back it up. I mean, this is stuff that affects real people‘s lives. Vaccines, you know — “
PERNELL: “We’re in a National Immunization Awareness Month.”
JENNINGS: “I hear the criticism from this person. I just — I just have to say, he did use the term ‘pregnant people’ in his resignation.”
PERNELL: “Oh, come on.”
JENNINGS: “And I’m sorry, if that is like the way you’re — if that is like the way you’re presenting information, I have questions about your credibility.”
PERNELL: “Scott, that’s a ruse.”
PHILLIP: “The prevailing view at this table is that we are talking — “
JENNINGS: “It‘s not a ruse. He really wrote it down.”
PERNELL: “It‘s a ruse because people have already — “
JENNINGS: “This guy‘s not credible to me. That‘s all.
PHILLIP: “Scott, are you serious?”
PERNELL: “Come on, seriously.”
JENNINGS: “He is not credible.”
PHILLIP: “No, no, no. Are you serious that this is — “
JENNINGS: “Yes, he did write that.”
PHILLIP: “ — that of all the things that we‘re talking about here, immunizations, vaccines, autism, research about — on communicable diseases, on cancer. And you are the most concerned about someone‘s use of the word ‘people?’”
JENNINGS: “Yeah.”
PHILLIP: “That‘s the most important thing?”
JENNINGS: “Because you were just complaining about the politicization of science.”
PERNELL: “That’s not politicization.”
JENNINGS: “And I can‘t think of politicization of science more than that, or what some of these people said to the American people during Covid. I just — the credibility of some of these folks who are complaining, look — “
PERNELL: “Well, I’m complaining, and I’m a public health and preventive medicine physician. We in the NAACP are complaining.”
