Republican Virginia Lt. Gov.-elect Winsome Sears refused to say whether she'd received the Covid-19 vaccine while repeating a series of falsehoods and misconceptions about the vaccines and infections.
Sears, who did not reveal her vaccination status during her successful campaign for the second-highest seat in Virginia, told CNN's Dana Bash on"State of the Union" that revealing it would create a"slippery slope" to being asked to reveal other personal information about her"DNA" and medical history.
Sears repeatedly referenced commonly held falsehoods about the Covid vaccine and the virus itself. She suggested people who've been infected with Covid-19 did not need to get the vaccine, and questioned the benefits that masks provide for protecting against transmission of the virus.
