And his colorful assessment of the hypocrites who have been vaccinated discouraging others from protecting themselves, their families, and their communities, is spot on. They are, in effect, encouraging self-destructive behavior from the safety of their TV studio (where <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/08\/18\/media\/fox-mandate-vaccine-status\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">vaccine mandates are enforced<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>The utterly dishonest argument that vaccine resistance is about freedom simply doesn&#8217;t fly. No one is being forced to get the shot. They are merely being told that, due to their ignorance and selfishness, they won&#8217;t be allowed to endanger others in public places. That&#8217;s a condition that society has imposed on everything from measles vaccinations, to drinking and driving, to wearing shoes and shirts in restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Every law is an imposition on personal liberty. But you don&#8217;t see these Fox Newsers advising people to run red lights, or shoplift at Walmart, or shoot their neighbors, in the name of freedom. You don&#8217;t have to obey those laws, but if you don&#8217;t, you lose certain societal privileges. It&#8217;s a not a question of freedom. It&#8217;s a question of safety and consideration for the rights and welfare of others. Geraldo has apparently come to recognize these facts. Now let&#8217;s see if he holds the rest of the Fox News hypocrites to them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
