Rep. Matt Gaetz cut off a reporter's question about his vaccination status

[Demovictory9]

Gaetz did not let the CNN reporter finish their question about whether he has been vaccinated against the coronavirus. Instead he replied: "That's very nosy of you."

The lawmaker is one of 97 Republicans who have refused to disclose their vaccination status, with many arguing that it's a personal matter, CNN reported.

"I don't think it's anybody's damn business whether I'm vaccinated or not," Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas told CNN.

Democrats have slammed GOP lawmakers who have not revealed if they've gotten the vaccine. Critics view the move as irresponsible, claiming that Congress has a responsibility to boost public confidence in the vaccine as misinformation runs rampant. All Democrats in the House and Senate are fully vaccinated, per CNN.

Gaetz does not appear to be interested in the vaccination push coming from his colleagues. The lawmaker showed up to a "Free Britney" rally last week outside a Los Angeles courthouse ahead of the singer's conservatorship hearing.

4. Anyone that is vaccinated but being cute about answering that question honestly, is obviously

playing the half-wits. It's like being a blood donor. No one that is will be shy about saying so, and they probably show off their stickers and wear the t-shirts. I was in the business for 13 years. I never knew a donor that tried to deny it.

5. Dishonesty Lures These In Two Directions, Sir

For these clowns trafficking in anti-vaccine drivel to great applause from the rubes, admitting they were vaccinated could cost audience share, while owning that they are not vaccinated admits to peers and press they don't just play a delusional fool on teevee --- they really are one.

6. The non answer means yes

of course they have.

7. Maybe, but last time I heard, LeBron is still playing coy about whether he has or hasn't.

In his case, I’m guessing not.
