An ultra-conservative radio host attacked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday, saying that his sick wife is unable to receive a COVID-19 vaccination because of the policies of the secretary of health and human services.

Erick Erickson, an influential conservative talk show host, re-posted a New York Times article about declining availability for the COVID vaccine at pharmacies, and said his wife is one of the people affected.

“My wife has Stage 4 lung cancer. She is one of the people the COVID vaccine actually helps,” he wrote. “Thanks to the current mess at HHS, CVS is unable to get her the vaccine.”

snip “Just for all the people chiming in ignorantly, the vaccine does not prevent COVID for my wife, but it greatly minimizes the impact of the virus,” he explained. “It’s the difference between symptoms amounting to a runny nose and being bedridden for a prolonged period of time.”
