Notable Quotes
It was clearly a partisan hit piece. They’re trying to act like this is not an effective treatment – it was a bizarre theory to boost Regeneron stock price, but as you know, Sean, President Trump bought out all of the Regeneron last year, so it’s already been paid for by the federal government. When we take down from Florida to give to patients, there’s no charge for it. It has no financial incentive at all. All we’re trying to do is help people.

- Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), in an interview with Sean Hannity, responded to a misleading article by the AP about Florida’s promotion of the use of Regeneron to treat COVID-19
Now, what the AP did by trying to create a false narrative is some people may believe the narrative and then think that this is not a viable treatment for them so if they’re infected, they will not go seek a monoclonal antibody and that will ultimately increase their risk of hospitalization. So the AP knew what they were doing, they wanted to do a political hit on me, and the fallout from that is that there will likely be people who decline life-saving treatment. And then they have the temerity to act like they were the victim when they got called out on their hit piece.
- Ibid. Video has emerged from a Democratic fundraiser on Sunday morning in Napa Valley, just north of San Francisco. Nancy Pelosi was there. She’s got an estate nearby. So were other Democratic officials, as well as the party’s biggest donors, who paid $30,000 a ticket to be there. The first thing you notice about the group, other than how strikingly non-diverse it is, is that none of them are wearing masks. They’re breathing all the fresh air they want, like it’s 2019. The only people there in masks are their servants – faceless brown serfs, scurrying back and forth to bring them things. Nothing worse than having the help breathe on you. But that’s not a problem for Nancy Pelosi.
- Tucker Carlson, Fox News
It’s repulsive but revealing. It’s pretty clear at this point that Nancy Pelosi – our chief COVID enforcer – doesn’t believe a word she says about the virus. She’s 81 years old, deep in the risk range for the virus. She’s standing at a crowded event in Napa, which according to the Biden administration’s color-coded map, is one of the riskiest places in the country for coronavirus transmission. Yet she’s not social distancing or wearing a face shield. She doesn’t even have a mask on. She knows she’s not in danger. There are no Republicans present, so there’s no reason to pretend otherwise.
– Ibid.
I view this change in name as a way to humanize those who are within our care.
- Liberal Wisconsin Sheriff Kalvin Barrett at a press conference announcing that he will now refer to inmates as “residents”
The new name of the fully approved Pfizer vaccine is Comirnaty. Comirnaty, which sounds more like a drunk person trying to say “community.” “You can’t arrest me; I’m a valued member of the comirnaty.”

— Seth Meyers
Meanwhile, the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines don’t need F.D.A. approval. They spent lockdown learning to love themselves.
— James Corden
But the vaccine isn’t the only thing keeping the F.D.A. busy. They recently had to tell people not to treat Covid with a drug that’s given to animals with worms. This is real. They tweeted: “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously y’all, stop it.” Meanwhile, the people taking it are like, “Laugh all you want, but I don’t have Covid, and the worms are almost gone.”
— Jimmy Fallon
The White House is hiring a movie trailer narrator to be like, “This fall, Pfizer completes their epic trilogy.” Yep, Biden will be making the booster shot announcement as part of his “Operation: Change the Subject.”
— Jimmy Fallon
The answer, analysts said, may simply be that Trump’s posts for years challenged platform rules against hate speech and inciting violence. Today’s Taliban, by and large, does not.

- Pres. Biden, when asked by a reporter whether he trusts the Taliban
Life is about always changing and adapting to different things. Today, the world wants to blame, and shame, and guilt, and fear everything all the time. We would never teach our kids that, you know? We would never say, “This is how you’re gonna get through life the best — you’re gonna blame everyone when things don’t go right.”…. It’s not how to live a joyful life.
- Seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady in an interview with Peter King
