Acosta and medical doc say 'former doctor' Ronny Jackson has 'become an embarrassment'
Raw StoryRep. Ronny Jackson was denounced after tweeting that the new COVID variant was nothing more than an election ploy. Speaking to CNN's Jim Acosta on Sunday, Dr. Jonathan Reiner, said that he doesn't even consider Jackson to be a doctor anymore. Dr. Reiner, who serves as a professor of medicine and surgery at George Washington University, explained that misinformation coming from Jackson is the key reason 50 million Americans continue to refuse to get vaccinated. "It comes from people like Ronny Jackson, people who doubt the severity of this pandemic, people who have doubted the consequences of not getting vaccinated, people who have doubted the efficacy of masks," he continued. Dr. Reiner noted that Jackson is the kind of conspiracy theorist who called former President Barack Obama "a deep state traitor" when Obama was serving as his commander in chief at the time.
