Never mind that it is an international threat affirmed by science. To Fox it&#8217;s just a plot by President Biden and Democrats to control Americans. They apparently think it would be a good move politically to shut down businesses and schools; to throw people out of work after achieving the lowest number of unemployment filings in more than fifty years; and to cripple the economy that has been booming ever since Biden was inaugurated. With success like that these Fox News numbskulls think that Biden is now conspiring to put an end to all of it.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, while the Omicron variant is fake to these Fox News pea-brains, over on the alleged <em>&#8220;news&#8221;<\/em> side of Fox, where fear mongering is job one, they found a way to treat it as a real threat: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FoxNews\/status\/1464723207789821955\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Blame it on immigrants<\/a><\/strong>. So now a <em>&#8220;caravan&#8221;<\/em> of Omicron-infected refugees are headed for the border. The bigotry emanating from Fox is just too predictable.<\/p>\n<p>There is a multilevel idiocy to these remarks. First of all, Fox News has been at the forefront of COVID disinformation from the very start. Consequently, they are responsible for more people being unvaccinated. Studies show that <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/Fox News viewers are significantly trailing viewers of other media in getting vaccinated\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News viewers are significantly trailing viewers of other media in getting vaccinated<\/a><\/strong>. Additionally, most recent COVID deaths have been <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=51186\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">concentrated in red states and counties<\/a><\/strong> where Fox News is most viewed.<\/p>\n<p>And if that weren&#8217;t bad enough, there is also the psychotic view among the cult of Fox News viewers &#8211; who are also Trump cult members &#8211; that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49069\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the vaccines don&#8217;t even work<\/a><\/strong>. But by remaining unvaccinated they are actually increasing the chances for new and more dangerous variants to form.<\/p>\n<p>And if even that weren&#8217;t bad enough, the very same people who believe the virus and the vaccines are all hoaxes by Democrats for reasons they can&#8217;t explain, also believe that Donald Trump deserves credit for the vaccines. Former Trump White House staffer, Stephen Miller was on Fox News Saturday saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If President Trump was still in office, by the way, we\u2019d already have modified vaccines to deal with the new variants. Which is a great point. President Trump brought us vaccines in record time, which he made voluntary, not mandatory. And he&#8217;d have updates too.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Miller: If President Trump was still in office, we\u2019d already have modified vaccines to deal with the new variants <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4WxhjACWFI\">pic.twitter.com\/4WxhjACWFI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Acyn (@Acyn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acyn\/status\/1464432037536747528?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 27, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Really? Miller seems to think that Trump would have come up with a modified version of the vaccine before the new variant was even discovered. But he would still not advocate for people to get vaccinated because &#8230; FREEDUMB!<\/p>\n<p>For the record, Biden has not made vaccines mandatory. He just highly recommends them and requires that people who choose not to get vaccinated be tested weekly. That&#8217;s a less strict policy than the one that Fox News imposes on their employees (including the Fox and Friends gang), where testing for the unvaccinated is required daily.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News is continuing to breed the sort of ignorance that is getting people killed and preventing a return to some sense of normalcy. They are spreading lies intended to make life more difficult because they believe that it will harm Biden and help Trump. And their callousness with regard to all of the people who will suffer and die due to their political self interests is reprehensible. But that has always been the mission of Fox News, and it isn&#8217;t going to change. The rest of us will just have work harder to make sure they don&#8217;t succeed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
