CNN host Don Lemon didn't hold back on his nightly show this week, expressing his frustration with unvaccinated Americans, accusing them of prolonging the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lemon said it's time to "shun" them for their inaction.

"I think we have to stop coddling people when it comes to ...the vaccines, saying 'Oh you can't shame them. You can't call them stupid.' Yes. they are."

Lemon added, "The people who are not getting vaccines who are believing the lies on the internet instead of science, it's time to start shaming them or leave them behind."
