Sean Hannity Reveals He Was ‘Pressured’ to Push COVID Vaccine on His Audience
Mediate ^ | 10/06/2026 | Sean James

Posted on 10/06/2026 4:35:15 PM PDT by Responsibility2nd

Fox News anchor Sean Hannity said he was “pressured” to push Covid-19 vaccines on his viewers, even though he was uncomfortable doing so.

The cable news star vented about how he was compelled to peddle vaccines during the Tuesday episode of his Hang Out podcast, where Hannity and Dr. Drew Pinsky talked about the pandemic — and their issues with how it was handled.

“I was being pressured — pressured — to tell my audience to take the jab,” Hannity said. “And I’m like, ‘I’m not a doctor. I’m just not. I don’t know anything about your health, I don’t know anything about your preexisting conditions, your current condition, comorbidities you may have, and I don’t know anything about this shot.'”

I didn't feel any pressure from Sean. Especially since I haven't listened to him for at least 10 years or more.

In 2021, The Guardian reported on Hannity talking about the virus and the vaccine on his show:

“Just like we’ve been saying,” [Hannity] said, “please take Covid seriously. I can’t say it enough. Enough people have died. We don’t need any more deaths.

“Research like crazy, talk to your doctor, your doctors, medical professionals you trust based on your unique medical history, your current medical condition, and you and your doctor make a very important decision for your own safety. Take it seriously.

“You also have a right to medical privacy, doctor-patient confidentiality is also important.

“And it absolutely makes sense for many Americans to get vaccinated. I believe in science, I believe in the science of vaccination.”

You mean the dude with a CIA pin?

The worst was little Ben Shapiro telling people to get the jab because his wife is a doctor.

If by “pressured” he means “paid”.

Same here. I didn’t even know he was still alive. I haven’t watched crap tv news since the only 2 people they cared about were Chandra and Gary.

who pressured him? Name some names.

How, exactly was the pressure applied?

What were the consequences if he didn't co-operate?

I wrote the following letter, which of course was never published. However, I did so irritate the editor at the Portland Tribune that she responded that I was a conspiracy theorist. I was able to respond to her by delivering three articles disclosing how detrimental the vaccines were.

FDA Approves Crippling and Lethal Vaccines

I visited websites listing the adverse effects of pneumonia, flu, and shingles vaccines as injection site soreness, fever and chills, fatigue, muscle aches, severe allergic reaction, decreased appetite, nasal congestion, chest pain, fast/irregular heartbeat, seizures, headache, stomach pain, and nausea.

However, those for COVID 19 vaccines are numerous and disturbing. The American Heart Association using the PLUS Cardiac Test generates a score predicting the 5 yr risk (percentage chance) of a new Acute Coronary Syndrome. They concluded that the mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination.

A federal judge ordered Food and Drug Administration (FDA) compliance with a Freedom of Information Act request to disclose Pfizer data that factored into FDA’s recent decision granting the experimental mRNA vaccine an Emergency Use Authorization. The first released data recorded over 800 adverse side effects. Most alarming were acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, cardiac failure, cardiogenic shock, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, stress cardiomyopathy, tachycardia, liver injury, facial paralysis, immune mediated/autoimmune disorders, arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, polyarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, fibromyalgia/trigeminal neuralgia, amniotic cavity infection, congenital anomaly, death neonatal, eclampsia, and fetal distress syndrome.

Pfizer’s general overview of 42,086 cases of adverse effects in ninety days found 20,112 persons recovered, 1,233 died, and the balance pended resolution.

Considering those circumstances, Oregon parents refusing vaccinations for their children should not have access to public education obstructed by bureaucrats.

By who?
Getting Hannity to stop talking is almost impossible.
Must be someone high up in Faux News as he seems to be worried about being fired.

Gosh, they fired:
BOR
Megan Kelly
Quarlson
Glen Beck
Maria Bartiromo

You would think Sean could figure this out himself.

A few years from now what will Hannity confess to being pressured to sell these days? 🤔

I find that hard to believe. Mainly because Sean Hannity because talks and talks. He will interrupt anyone he’s conversing with, and talk some more.

So who could have got a word in to tell him what to say?

🤔
