How much of right-wing opposition to vaccination was Fox News’s fault?
The Washington Post ^ | October 10, 2022 | Philip Bump

Posted on 10/11/2022 2:03:26 AM PDT by definitelynotaliberal

Katie Lane’s father, Patrick, died of covid-19 in the summer of 2021. Hundreds of thousands of Americans did, of course, but Lane believes that her father was among the estimated 234,000 people whose deaths could have been prevented had he been vaccinated against the coronavirus.

Asked during an interview on CNN why she thought her father chose not to get a dose of the vaccine, Lane suggested that there were a number of factors, media consumption included.

“He watched some Tucker Carlson videos on YouTube, and some of those videos involved some misinformation about vaccines,” Lane said, “and I believe that that played a role.” . . . Research published this month found a correlation between partisanship and rates of excess deaths during the pandemic. In places where vaccine uptake was lower — which correlates to support for President Donald Trump in the 2020 general election — Republicans died at a much higher rate than they did before the pandemic, a gap that primarily emerged in the months after the vaccine became widely available.

The Left’s Core Strategy #1: “Pick the target (freeze it, personalize it) and polarize it." (via Rules for Radicals)

The Left’s Core Strategy #2: Scream accusations of racism(or racist attacks) at anything you don't like or which slows your agenda.

The Left’s Core Strategy #3: Intensely attack Republicans for actions you are undertaking.

The Left’s Core Strategy #4: Attack Republicans as stupid, but do not discuss it further.

The Left’s Core Strategy #5: When all else fails, censor speech and if needed deploy violence.

Repeat

Pretty much all of it was due to the fact that the media as a whole cannot be trusted in any way.

“but Lane believes that her father was among the estimated 234,000 people whose deaths could have been prevented had he been vaccinated against the coronavirus.”

Her believing it doesn’t make it so. This is pushed by the media because it can’t be proven.

Now we know that the jab neither stopped the spread nor prevented the vaccinated from transmitting the virus. I bet that we will soon learn that the jab did not reduce the severity of an infection nor prevent hospitalization, the last nail jabbers hang their mandates on. Moreover, jabs were clearly unnecessary for young, healthy people. SAD (Sudden Adult Death) syndrome was invented to categorize unexplained deaths of jabbed young people who die of heart attacks. Altogether it’s becoming clear that the jab was completely useless and dangerous. In this light of this, Biden’s vax mandates were criminal and merely political persecution of Trump supporters.

Some people made a rational decision to get the vaccine based on their risk category and the treatment they were likely to receive. Others made a rational decision not to based on the same criteria. There was no “one size fits all” decision.

It wasn't FOX's fault at all. Haven't watch them since 2016.

It was the fault of the US National Institue of Health. They have thousands upon thousands of peer-review research. A few hundred of those and one would easily have a solid opinion based on actual science on the virus, the treatment and viable alternatives. That along with a true understanding of history and how this is a yet another clear case of "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you..."

i think the first inkling i had that something was amiss was when they outright dimissed possible long term effects and ignored any of the vaxx injuries

then came the demonization of hydroxy and ivermectin

from there it was just an avalanche of lies

fauci was asked about natural immunity and he said he would have to get back to us on that

None. It was just common sense. The trouble started when the government told us that the “vaccinated” needed to be protected from infection and that a booster shot would be required because it wore off after a few months. They basically let the cat out of the bag. The “vaccine” didn’t work. They lied when they said it was 95% effective. There was no reason for young and healthy people to risk taking an experimental drug that didn’t work, a drug they didn’t even need, for an illness that posed almost no threat to them.

They were pushing the vaxx hard. They got paid by Big Pharma to do it. The article is a joke.

They're pushing back on the assertions now from Florida about the Killshot causing myocardis because they fear that the dam is going to break with doctors coming forward en masse to expose the truth about this poison.

Notice the sickening new Walgreens commercial pushing the Killshot? An 8 year old kid tells the camera "I got it to keep my baby brother safe." Then it shows a pregnant woman sitting down after just getting the Killshot and the white coat tells her "Now that you're hear, lets do your flu shot."

These people are EVIL.

And those who voted for Trump and didn’t take the vaxx died at a lower rate from side effects than those who did abd got Covid at lower rates???? Is this gal gearing up for a lawsuit against FOX?

Meanwhile, a decent percentage of Americans are ready for shot #5.

And I say let them take it!

When stupid people do stupid things, that's Nature's way of getting rid of stupid people.

The only ones I feel sorry for are the children who had no choice in the matter and vulnerable elderly people who were gaslighted and bullied into it.

On a selfish note, I have been wondering if I can pick up the spike protein from sleeping with a chick that’s vax’d and boosted.

I hate to tell this lady that back in 2021, the government was promising that the vaccine would save you from getting covid and if by chance you still go covid, you wouldn’t die. Even if he took the vaccine, he could have caught the covid and died. It’s not Tuckers fault or Fox News. It is the governments...go after them.

“My hesitation to get the jab was a rational decision. No one knew what the side effects would be...”

Ditto. Who would choose to be injected with a substance knowing that proper and typical protocols had been thrown out the window?

I’m in the purple category. Hubby is in the green — quite a distance between. Neither of us for even one minute considered getting the shot.
