Tucker Carlson of Fox News Says ‘Vaccines Don’t Work and They’re Not Telling You’

For more than a year now, Fox News has been working diligently to exacerbate the deadly consequences of COVID pandemic. Along with Donald Trump, they have downplayed the severity of the crisis and maligned the experts who sought to protect the public’s health. In fact, studies have proven that watching Fox News actually increases coronavirus fatalities.

Fox News, Tucker Carlson, Coronavirus

No one at Fox News has been more guilty of these disinformation crimes than Tucker Carlson. He has promulgated lies and promoted medically preposterous conjecture. He has disparaged knowledgeable professionals like Dr. Fauci. He has denied the value of vaccines even while his boss, Rupert Murdoch was butting in front of the line to get his.

On Tuesday night Carlson took another leap down the rabid hole. In a monologue that will surely result in higher mortality rates, Carlson demonstrated how pitifully ignorant he is and unable to grasp simple medical concepts (video below). He ranted that federal health authorities…

“…recommend you continue to wear your masks when you go outside. How long will this continue? Well, according to the Yahoo news, experts say it is ‘not entirely clear when it will be considered okay for people who are fully vaccinated to stop wearing masks.’

“At some point – no one is asking this but everyone should be – what is this about? If vaccines work, why are vaccinated people still banned from living normal lives? Honestly, what’s the answer to that. It doesn’t make any sense at all. If the vaccine is effective, there’s no reason for people who’ve received a vaccine to wear masks or avoid physical contact.”

Honestly, what doesn’t make any sense at all is Carlson’s arrogance in believing that his conclusions about public health have greater validity than doctors who have spent their lives studying it. The guidance for safe behavior is fluid due to evolving science and study. Public health professionals are right to always provide the most cautious appraisals so as not to incur unnecessary harm.

Remaining masked after being vaccinated is simply the best advice to protect oneself and others. It doesn’t mean that the vaccines don’t work. Carlson is too stupid to grasp that. so he continued to sum up saying that…

“So maybe it doesn’t work and they’re simply not telling you that. Well, you’d hate to think that especially if you’ve gotten two shots. But what’s the other potential explanation? We can’t think of one.”

The fact that Carlson can’t think of another explanation just proves how intellectually vacant he is. And he’s apparently not embarrassed to admit it. But even worse is his promulgation of the conspiracy theory that the ever-present “they” know that the vaccine is a hoax and are deliberately keeping it a secret. Seriously? That’s what Carlson and Fox News want to foist on a nation that has already suffered the loss of more than half a million people?

The damage that Fox News is doing is hitting their own viewers hardest. Their audience is made up predominantly of elderly white men, a group that is more vulnerable to severe consequences should they contract the coronavirus. A new Monmouth poll finds that “21% of Americans claim they will never get the vaccine if they can avoid it […] 43% of Republicans versus just 5% of Democrats saying this.” You can safely assume that most of those vax-deniers are Fox News viewers.

Meanwhile, at CNN, Dr. Fauci was asked to respond to Carlson’s nonsense. He said that…

“Yeah, that’s just a typical crazy conspiracy theory. […] I don’t have any idea what he’s talking about. […] It’s certainly not helpful to the public health of this nation, or even globally. You know, I don’t want to get into arguments about Tucker Carlson, but to me it’s just — you know, it’s counter to what we’re trying to accomplish to protect the safety and the health of the American public.”

This might be a good to remind everyone that Fox News defended Tucker Carlson from a defamation lawsuit by arguing – successfully! – that “given Mr. Carlson’s reputation, any reasonable viewer ‘arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism’ about the statements he makes.” In other words, Carlson is a known liar whose commentaries can be dismissed out of hand as the ravings of an unhinged crackpot. He is also guilty – along with Fox News – of negligent homicide and mass murder. Hopefully they will eventually be held to account.

  1. Mr. misinformed is as bad and if not worse than the former white house guy. The orange 45 received a vaccination in private and tried to keep it a secret. If *ucker Carlson does not get a shot and does not bother to wear a mask he just may wind up in the hospital. I wouldn’t be surprised, however, that he did get a vaccination and is keeping it a secret. He really couldn’t be that dumb could he?

  2. FuKKKer Ret@rdson doesn’t tell the truth, and he’s not telling you any.

    Fixed that for you, FuKKKer.

  3. So *ucker Carlson does not understand why we need to still wear masks after being vaccinated?
    Well, I think we can clear that up for him…Why?? Mostly cuz’ of you, *ucker Carlson & BS network you’re seen on!
    1 in 5 Americans now say they won’t get vaccinated (unless forced) ~ 46% of Rethugs say the same. That’s a whole lot of stupid people who are willing to get sick & infect others out in public! (There are variants of original virus taking hold now.) Many of same people who object to wearing a mask in public, but want to be able to resume a “normal life”. (So do we! So wear your dam* mask & get your ass vaccinated ASAP!)
    It turns out that “herd stupidity” spreads much faster than herd immunity ~ especially among viewers of Faux BS network! Go figure.
    So, as *ucker sits there telling viewers more of his erroneous negative opinions about vaccines, also poo-pooing masks, experts & CDC advice, he also wants to complain that we can’t get back to normal?! And he doesn’t understand? How stupid!
    Time matters here.
    We need everyone vaccinated B4 variants spread, mutating to point vaccine may not work on it anymore! We can only get back to somewhat normal life & growing economy if WE ALL get vaccinated. If you don’t want to get vaccine — STAY HOME!!
    And if vaccine mutates faster than everyone gets vaccinated, then we’re all screwed! So, thanks alot, *ucker Carlson & Faux BS network!
