As the nation faces a recent surge of new Covid-19 cases brought on by the Delta variant of the virus, several prominent figures on the Fox News network have stepped forward to make strong statements on vaccinations for the disease for their audience, a significant part of which has been described as being vaccine hesitant.
"I cannot be any more clear about this," Fox and Friends' host Brian Kilmeade said on his morning program. "At no point, during all times, nobody should never not always be thinking about never abstaining from not getting the vaccine."
"Don't not wait until it's too soon," Kilmeade's co-host Steve Doocy added.
Other Fox personalities were quick to echo this unambiguous sentiment.
"What is the risk of a person contracting a serious case of this virus versus the risk of any sort of side effects one might suffer from its vaccine?" Fox anchor Bret Bair asked his audience. "It's very obvious that the answer to this important question involves numbers."
"It's maybe very important to think about definitely possibly considering whether or not to weigh the options of immediately desiring to get vaccinated as soon as possible at some unspecified point in the distant future, perhaps today or some point thereafter," primetime host Sean Hannity told viewers.
The network's message on vaccines did not evade Fox's most popular host, either.
"Should you get the Covid vaccine?" host Tucker Carlson asked on his show. "The answer to that question should be very clear, and it's that our kindergarteners are being brainwashed into hating Mr. Potatohead by woke socialist teachers unions using Critical Race Theory!"

(3,630 posts)I also have a problem with being being too gullible so you can't blame yourself. As parody I loved it. But, yeah, you were right on the mark - way too close to reality for the idiots at Fox.

"definitely possibly"
"as soon as possible at some unspecified point in the distant future"
Yes, it's a parody. But a savage one, because it's so close to the gibberish they really spout.

(12,165 posts)And these fuckers dont give a damn about other people. Theyre only pro-vax now so people dont turn against the network.
Its hell when people get hospitalized now for anything. Visits are highly controlled, but visitors are probably still forbidden for Covid patients.
Covid is affecting everything. My grandmother had a perforated bowel emergency and she could have one visitor per 24 hour period, for a max of three hours. Anyone who has been hospitalized or knows someone who had surgery knows how critical it is to have someone there to help with small things, like moving a pillow or getting water. She was miserable because no one was there to help or advocate for her when the doctor stopped in on his morning rounds.
We could have beaten back Covid. We have enough vaccines for everyone. The right is a murderous, destructive force.
