detriment of good men and women and children in this country. i did all of my medical training in the south in louisiana and north carolina, not once did i ask or give a damn about somebody's political or religious affiliation because it doesn't impact my clinical judgment, which is always rooted in science. that's what needs to happen. when political figures, influencers in the political realm make it political, make something that's a medical and public health issue political, it literally jeopardizes the lives of the people we're trying to take care of and in turn jeopardizes our lives. it's a vicious cycle and we need to put an end to it because this virus, sars covi 2 doesn't give a damn about religious affiliation. it replicates, mutates and infects. we need to step up and do the right thing. >> dr. roy, thank you very much for coming to "the reidout".
