‘We Just Can’t Do It This Year’: CNN Medical Analyst Nixes Christmas "This is a sacrifice that Americans can make..."
The Daily Wire ^ | Nov 30, 2020 | Joseph Curl

CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner appeared Saturday on the network to declare that “we just can’t do” Christmas “this year” because of COVID-19.

“So the next big holiday is obviously the Christmas, New Year’s holiday where people tend to travel, want to travel, want to be with family, but we just can’t do it this year. We’re going to cause needless deaths and particularly that’s among people we really care about, you know, our most vulnerable, our grandparents, our parents, our neighbors,” Reiner said.

“We can’t travel this year. We need to stay home. This is a sacrifice that Americans can make and we should be making it for each other. Stay home, mask up, we’ll have a great series of holidays next year. We’ll really have something to celebrate next year,” he said.

Reiner also said anyone who traveled for Thanksgiving “should be quarantining.”

Have Yourself a Barely Little Christmas

Once the leading medical stooges of news organizations get ahead of a story they need to gas light, the politicians will close behind...

They have their opinion. Don’t mean much.

How does he know next year will be something to celebrate? Leave me out of it. If a store is going to be open, I will shop there. I will wear a mask, but once I am outside the mask comes off.

If people choose to stay indoors, that’s their business. But don’t tell me I have to stay indoors. I’m pro choice and I choose going outside and leading my normal life.

If this stuff lasts much longer will they say, "We can't afford to celebrate MLK day this year due to the possibility of COVID spreading at the parades."

Right??

LOL I think the advent of smartphones made airport CNN screens viewed as much as the wallpaper and signs for McDonalds and Starbux.

Nope. But I guess Eid al-Fitr and Ramadan okay though.

I know this is for a supposed good cause, but the lock down
control mechanism sure looks a lot like Leftist Jackboot
Fascism from here.

And for what, something that essentially mirrors the common
flu?

So from now on we doe this for four or five months each
year? Really?

Christmas cannot be silenced. The Bible states that the very rocks will cry out.

I can’t believe were are now living in a Dr. Suess story:

“Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small,
Was singing! Without any presents at all!
He HADN’T stopped Christmas from coming!
IT CAME!
Somehow or other, it came just the same!

And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow,
Stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?
‘It came without ribbons! It came without tags!
It came without packages, boxes or bags!’
And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”
― Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

Hmmm, Grinch, Jadis, Scrooge, Mr. Potter...

Literature is rife with personalities that have tried to shut down Christmas.

None of them were protagonists.

Just call it a Christmas protest and hang a French Laundry sign on your front door.

Oh, and tell them to F OFF.

“They have their opinion. Don’t mean much.”

To a non-believer, Christmas is just a day off and so it doesn’t mean much

I have a simple message for the useless idiots that are now saying we have to "cancel Christmas" ...

The first word starts with the letter "F" and the second word ends with the letter "u" .... I'm pretty sure they can figure that out.
