Not Someone Who Believes in Science: Fox News Pundit Says Pray on It Pence Shouldnt Be Anywhere Near Coronavirus
Published on February 27, 2020 at 11:01 AM ET
By David Edwards Raw Story
Fox News contributor Jessica Tarlov asserted on Thursday that Vice President Mike Pence is the wrong person to be in charge of fighting the Coronavirus.
There are deep concerns about putting Mike Pence at least quasi-in charge, Tarlov told a Fox News panel. He oversaw an HIV outbreak in Indiana. Instead of going with science and dealing with needle exchanges, he went after Planned Parenthood and people got sick there because of it.
Mike Pence is not a scientist, hes not a doctor, hes not someone who believes really in science, she continued. And I dont believe that he should be in charge of this of anywhere near the forefront and that is a big concern.

Fox News host Ed Henry interrupted to object: You say he doesnt believe in science.
Well, with climate science, he thinks you should pray on it, Tarlov replied. If you have HIV, you should go to a doctor. If you have a Coronavirus, you should go to a doctor. And this isnt about insulting prayer, its just saying that that kind of policy and that kind of thinking is outdated and has no place in modern society.

The stock market agrees. No one is reassured by Pence being the virus czar. nt

It was then that Robertson went into a rift about the godly healthcare plan.
What Im saying is that Kamala, I already have healthcare. Its given to me by God, he said. Eternal health care. Im guaranteed to be raised from the dead. I have life and immortality given to me by God through Jesus Christ. A stunned Cavuto rightfully noted that people get sick on Earth.
Robertson said that doctors only provide a temporary reprieve.
Doctors can give you a temporary reprieve but they cannot save you from physical death, Robertson said. The doctors who treat you, they die too.
Youre not dismissing that we, people need healthcare, right? Cavuto then asked.
Robertson said it wasnt necessary, adding that he didnt have healthcare for 50 years and didnt need it.
Watch the video above.
