Dr. Marty Makary, a trailblazer on all things Coronavirus, joins Dom Giordano to lead off the third hour of the Dom Giordano Program. First, Giordano asks Dr. Makary for his thoughts on Dr. Anthony Fauci’s comments over the weekend, in which proclaimed, “I am science.” Makary tells why uttering such a phrase is detrimental to the cause, and offers evidence that Dr. Fauci is not “science,” but instead a scientific mind that also has faults. Makary offers his thoughts about the new variant, Omicron, that first showed in South Africa, explaining that it’s incredibly contagious but thankfully, it’s currently only showing mild symptoms. Then, Giordano asks Makary for an update on natural and herd immunity, a portion of the pandemic that seems to have fallen out of the debate, asking whether we will or have reached what was initially the end goal for the pandemic.
Then, after Dom offers his Money Melody for the day, he moves back into the national sphere of politics, playing back Jim Cramer on his CNBC show suggesting that the military should take over and run a national vaccine mandate. Dom explains why this is such a radical and ridiculous suggestion, asking whether people like Cramer recognize that they are welcoming in authoritarianism. Also, Giordano reveals a statement released by District Attorney Krasner regarding the Temple murder, and discusses with listeners potential replaces for Brian Fitzpatrick.
