That sounds satirical but it’s not. The View host, Joy Behar, demanded the show’s audience to clap if they have received their third booster shot. The meltdown came after the show announced that host Whoopi Goldberg tested positive for COVID-19 for a second time this year.
“It’s coming back! Another friend of mine got it, too, I mean we have to be careful again. Damn!” Joy shouted before grilling the audience.
The View host Whoopi Goldberg tested positive for COVID-19 for a second time and it has the gals in a panic. “it’s coming back!” co-host Joy Baher shouted as she questioned if members of the audience had their booster shots. “Clap if you have your third booster,” Baher demanded.
Back in September, Behar bragged about getting her third booster [5 shots total]:
“I’ve been jabbed more than I was on my honeymoon,” she quipped. She said her arm didn’t hurt but Sara Haines asked: “What about the wedding night, did you hurt?”
Behar said they were “smart” and Hostin told them it was “worth it” after explaining that she had a bad reaction to the new booster which contains the two most common strains of COVID.

The gals have all selectively decided not to wear masks during the show, and likely elsewhere. Even though they had no problem condemning people for doing the same previously.
A rep for the longtime daytime host, 67, confirmed to Entertainment Weekly on Monday that Goldberg had been feeling ill prior to the show and tests later confirmed she had contracted the virus.
Goldberg’s The View co-host Sara Haines took over as moderator of the show in her stead, and she was joined by Sunny Hostin and new co-hosts Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin.
Joy Behar, who also moderates discussions on the show, was absent as well as she was already scheduled to be off this week, the outlet reports.
