US Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin.
MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — Public health officials urge everyone who’s eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine to get one, so we can achieve herd immunity. But Wisconsin’s senior U-S Senator questions whether that’s necessary.
“Quite honestly what do you care if your neighbor has one or not? What is it to you? You’ve got a vaccine, and science is telling you it’s very, very effective. So why is this big push to make sure everybody gets a vaccine.”
Republican Ron Johnson was on WIBA’s “Vicki McKenna Show” on Thursday.
Experts believe about 85 percent of the population will need to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity. Recent polls have found around 45 percent of Republicans don’t plan to get vaccinated.
