Marty Makary on Tuesday accused the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of "cherry-picking" data and manipulating public health guidance surrounding vaccines and natural immunity to support a political narrative. .
Makary, a professor of surgery and health policy at the Johns Hopkins University and Fox News medical contributor, joined the "Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show" to discuss the clinical impact of natural immunity as it compares to the vaccine.
Travis noted that the CDC's guidance on COVID-19 is inconsistent with their vaccine recommendations for other contagious viruses.
"CDC recommends two doses of chickenpox vaccine for children, adolescents, and adults who have never had chickenpox," the official website reads. .
Makary called the conflicting guidance "absolutely illogical," and accused the agency of "ignoring natural immunity. .
Surgeon General Vivek Murthy was asked during a Fox News Q&A session earlier this month whether parents should deliberately expose their children to COVID-19 "to give them a natural immunity, like we do with the Chickenpox in our home."
