The year long determination of Fox News to convince their viewers that COVID-19 isn’t anything to worry about has resulted in the coronavirus officially becoming the Pandemic of Fox News<\/a><\/strong>. They are, of course, parroting the purposeful lies of Donald Trump who repeatedly told his cult followers that it was either a hoax, a Democratic plot against him, or a piffling malady that is no more serious than the common flu. And he’s still doing it<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Fox<\/p>\n

Never mind that Trump has known from the start how deadly it is<\/a><\/strong>. His deliberate dishonesty fueled the aversion of his disciples to the vaccines that he simultaneously tried to take credit for<\/a><\/strong>. And Fox News backed him up all the way.<\/p>\n

As a result, the cable news network that one watches is one of the best indicators of whether or not the viewer has been vaccinated. The percentage of Fox News viewers who have received the vaccine is 21 points lower<\/a><\/strong> than viewers of CNN or MSNBC. Fox’s top program hosts are staunch opponents of vaccinations that they regard as attempts by the government to control the population (by keeping them alive?).<\/p>\n

Tucker Carlson tops the list with his frequent anti-vaccine messaging, such as his paranoia drenched claim that vaccines don\u2019t work and \u201cthey\u201d<\/em> aren\u2019t telling you<\/a><\/strong>. Likewise, Sean Hannity has sowed vaccine doubts by pretending to support the science, even while insisting that no one should listen to him<\/a><\/strong>. Which is actually pretty good advice.<\/p>\n

However, if Fox News was interested in the welfare of the American people, they could have a profound impact on mitigating the suffering and fatalities of the pandemic. That impact was demonstrated recently when Tractor Supply posted a sign next to a horse dewormer they sell. The sign reads…<\/p>\n

“A number of products we carry, including select dewormers and injectables, contain the anti-parasite active ingredient Ivermectin. Despite media report that Ivermectin could potentially be used to treat people with COVID-19, these products are not safe or approved for human use, and could cause severe personal injury or death.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Farm stores are selling out of the horse worm drug, Ivermectin, after Fox News promoted it as a miracle COVID cure\u2026 many people have already died after taking it due to liver toxicity<\/p>\n
