Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel mentioned Wednesday that “leaders, mayors and governors” who once enforced lockdown treatments to include the coronavirus are not slamming protesters who do not observe proper social distancing standards.
“Can our company believe leaders, mayors and governors who one week state you need to be locked down since of COVID-19 and the next week they completely forget [it] and, as you say, they are getting together with protesters who are not following social distancing?” Siegel asked as a visitor on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
Siegel kept in mind that the protesters– even those who aren’t taking part in rioting and looting– are mad and “when you are angry, when you are having a lot of emotion and passion– you understand what you do? You do not take preventative measures.”
The physician stated that Democratic Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is dispersing masks to the crowds however that they are not efficient since the crowd was not practicing social distancing. “They’re rubbing their masks, they’re spitting through their masks and they’re touching each other,” he kept in mind, adding that coronavirus infections in Minnesota have actually dropped to simply 7 cases in Minnesota on June 2.
“So we are waiting to see, Tucker, what is going to happen to Minneapolis now? We are all for the First Modification, for protesting, naturally … I’m questioning what’s going to happen to Minneapolis now with all these demonstrations and no social distancing.”
Serene protests and violent rioting have actually erupted throughout the nation over the death of George Floyd after his arrest by Minnesota authorities. Derek Chauvin, the former officer who was seen in a video with his knee on Floyd’s neck, was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and murder Friday. His charge increased to second-degree murder Wednesday.

“To me this is a public health experiment. You and I have actually been stating from the beginning, we don’t believe lockdowns work, we think they are severe, we think they are unnecessary; but … our leaders are relieving the lockdowns by permitting people to congregate,” Siegel stated, guaranteeing to return to Carlson’s “show next week and tell you, lockdowns helped or they didn’t.”
“If we don’t see a spike in cases as an outcome we’ll understand that the media and our politicians were overhyping the lockdowns to get political gain.”
