hypocrites.
It’s something slightly different than hypocrisy. They’re not only criticizing people who choose to be vaccinated, which is hypocrisy, but the vaccine itself. It seems like a pretty fucked up political agenda to have, but what we’d expect from fox - be contrary, divide people just for the sake of profit and sowing discontent and confusion, and fuck the effects on the country. Or they actually want to harm the populace…
What you’re describing is redundant… it’s like saying that not only you criticize people who use 5G, but the 5G tech itself.
Not precisely. Saying the vaccine isn’t effective or is dangerous can’t be hypocritical because they’re not a vaccine. Saying vaccine users made a bad decision isn’t even necessarily hypocritical because maybe they think they themselves did. Saying vaccinated people are sheep or unintelligent would be hypocritical because they’re vaccinated.
These people should read up on what polio does to people, and how a vaccine pretty much eliminated it globally.
They’re cosplaying being a freedom warriors in this culture war. Keith Olbermann talked years ago about how Fox commentators just casually spoke to him as if they didn’t believe what they were spewing on air. They didn’t. It’s all a game or performance art.
It’s disgusting.
Ignorance is in their audience, usually not behind the desk.
And that audience hardly knows what it means to read, let alone study something new and use critical thinking to truly comprehend.
The Dominion lawsuit was fascinating because it showed all the behind the scenes discussions and made it very clear exactly how much Fox knows is utter bullshit on their programs. Seeing them just blatantly admit that they have crackpots on as “experts” regularly and that they’re fully aware that they’re spewing lies is just really disgusting. Even more so when their own hosts talk about how unhinged these people are and how it’s going to get them in trouble only for Rupert to tell them to shut up and stick to the lies being pushed.
Some conspiracy minded people deny that viruses even exist. I’ve had more than one person tell me that it isn’t vaccines that helped get rid of polio and small pox etc it’s increased hygiene and such. If you start with a conclusion you can either make facts fit the lie or ignore reality altogether.
The covid vaccine isn’t like the polio and other vaccines though, nor should it be compared to them. Those stopped you from getting polio and other horrible diseases, where’s the covid “vaccine” doesn’t stop you getting covid.
Vaccine is really the wrong word for the covid one.
I’m fully vaccinated, not an anti vaxxer, think anti-vaxxers are idiots.
No it’s not.
The difference is the polio vaccines are nearly 100% effective (after 4 doses). A single dose of the polio vaccine also offers less immunity, as in the chance of developing the symptoms. The first polio vaccines were a lot less effective than the current ones. The current oral version is only 95% effective, but that was enough to stop the spread as polio virus first needs to move through the intestines thus takes longer to spread. It’s also a much, much simpler virus that does not evolve nearly as quickly as corona viruses.
For comparison: the corona vaccines are considered more effective than flu vaccines, which vary from 25% to 75% effective against symptoms depending on the year.
The covid shot does nothing to stop you from catching or spreading covid though, no matter how many boosters you get.
Flu shots are giving you last years strains, that’s why they’re relatively low in effectiveness. The flu mutates every year.
Now, Fox is getting sued for propagating conspiracy theories for another $800M, J Pirro has moved to take the place of the last batch of hosts who were ousted.
This lawsuit is to recover losses caused to the owners (including pension funds of two states), of stocks caused by flagrant and repeated libel and lies, ruining Fox’s reputation. There are other lawsuits pending.
That mans laugh really did it for me
