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.

“When stupid people do stupid things, that’s Nature’s way of getting rid of stupid people.”

You’re right.

Propagandist Philip Bump. Dropped on his head as a child. Hence his last name.

Any mention of the millions dropping dead and getting cancer from the vaccine?

my suspicions about the vax started in late spring of 2020
when the masks became a huge deal

Virus are so small that you need an electron microscope to see them = yet a bandana over your nose will protect you?

it was immediately obvious that they were controlling people with fear

First off, back in March/April 2020, we were instructed that if we had Covid, to stay home and do nothing for it.

The doctor’s offices were closed and hospitals were off limits unless you literally could not breathe and/or your lips were turning blue. That alone was the first medical malpractice the medical community inflicted on us in their attempt to kill people. Let them get so sick with pneumonia that they are in critical condition to begin with. At that point, your chances of survival or survival without lung damage drop significantly.

Then there was the venting them.

Then poisoning them with Remdesivir.

Then withholding appropriate use of steroids to reduce inflammation.

All the way around, the delegated protocol was intentionally designed to produce the worst outcome for the patient, IOW, to kill them.

Did her father get shot with Remdesivir?

You are absolutely correct. They would make you wait until your oxygen levels were critical and then hit you with the Remdesivir and respirator to kill you.

Unfortunately we have Democrats in the USA. They are too stupid to figure that out.

You misspelled “evil”.

I made the comment to a friend just last night how they’re circling the wagons, doubling down on the stupid. I suspect this is pursuant to a new push as they expect another ‘wave’. The citation of the most common symptom being ‘sore throat’ was a rather large ‘tell’: Now all the hypochondriacs - jabbed or not - will be running to get tested at the slightest hint of a cold or allergies.

Nice, huh? /s

Expect to see a crescendo of this BS as they continue to demonize all who oppose the jabs.

And all FReepers who’ve been parroting all their talking points can just FO.

Can’t believe people are STILL injecting themselves with an unproven experimental substance (hint: it’s not a vaccine). Discernment and critical thinking has been destroyed.

total misinformation from a poster who insists that viruses don’t cause disease, disease causes viruses.

Wasn’t FOX News being paid to shill for the vaccines?

My hesitation to get the jab was a rational decision. No one knew what the side effects would be. Assertions that the jab was safe along with the massive coercion to get the jab made me more suspicious. Now we know that the jab was ineffective and in many cases dangerous. This WAPO article is just Fauci CYA.

More people have died trusting the government than not trusting the government.

Probably. I would treat spike protein shedding as an STD.

Every Fox employee either took the vax or was fired/quit. It was mandatory. All of Fox reporting, along with CNN and MSLSD, was suspect in the first few months of Covid because nobody knew nothing. In other words, they were making it up and so were the politicians, Fact.
