The purpose of the segment is to callously mock people who have been diagnosed with COVID after having been vaccinated. It is a despicable concept that reveals her perverse pleasure in the suffering of others.<\/p>\n<p>In Monday&#8217;s episode Ingraham reported that Gen. Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was diagnosed with COVID. But it wasn&#8217;t enough to merely report this news that any decent person would consider unfortunate, Ingraham actually applauded with glee while doing so. <em>&#8220;The triple vaxxed Joint Chiefs chairman Mark Milley,&#8221;<\/em> Ingraham gushed, <em>&#8220;our favorite, Mark Milley, tested positive for COVID yesterday.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Laura Ingraham actually has a segment on her show called \u2018Positively Boosted\u2019 where she rejoices over people who test positive for COVID after being vaccinated.

They closed the segment with their wholly disingenuous well wishes that <em>&#8220;they\u2019re all healthy and fine. But stop pushing your mandates.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Note that she said that from where she is remotely broadcasting due to the mandates imposed by Fox News. What&#8217;s more, Milley&#8217;s diagnosis is proof that mandates, like those imposed by the military, are necessary as a matter of military readiness. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/01\/17\/politics\/milley-covid-19\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">As CNN reports<\/a><\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;[T]here were 32,912 COVID cases in service members around the world, marking a dramatic increase from one week earlier, when there were 13,940 cases across the military. Just before Christmas, the number was a far lower, at 5,285 cases.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Milley is Ingraham&#8217;s <em>&#8220;favorite&#8221;<\/em> because he has had concerns about diversity and racism in the ranks, which she called a <em>&#8220;far-left Marxist racist ideology.&#8221;<\/em> She may also have been listening to her Fox News confederate, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49855\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tucker Carlson, who maligned Milley for the same reason<\/a><\/strong>, saying &#8211; in a feat of epic projection &#8211; that <em>&#8220;He&#8217;s not just a pig, he&#8217;s stupid.&#8221;<\/em> All because Milley told a congressional hearing that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I do think it\u2019s important for those of us in uniform to be open minded and be widely read. The United States Military Academy is a university. And it is important that we train and we understand. And I want to understand white rage. And I\u2019m white, and I want to understand it. So what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America? What caused that?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Perhaps Ingraham was also triggered by Milley&#8217;s remarks published in the book <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2YW9wfQ\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Peril, by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa<\/a><\/strong>. The book reported that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMilley took top secret action to limit President Trump\u2019s ability to make strike or to use nuclear weapons. [\u2026] Milley is deeply shaken from the assault on the Capitol on [January] 6th. He believes Trump is unstable, unpredictable, and Milley believes that Trump is in serious mental decline.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For the record, Gen. Milley is a career Army officer who was appointed to his post by Trump in 2018 and confirmed by the Senate on a vote of 89 to 1 (Jeff Merkley, a Democrat, was the sole <em>\u201cno\u201d vote)<\/em>. But despite Trump&#8217;s promotion, as he often does, he later turned on Milley and appeared on the Newsmax program hosted by his former press secretary, Sean Spicer, to respond to the excerpts from Woodward\u2019s book by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=50702\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">accusing Milley of treason<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The anti-vax positions by Ingraham and Fox News are prolonging and exacerbating the pandemic, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=51436\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">particularly among their own viewers<\/a><\/strong>. And Ingraham&#8217;s idiotic and insensitive segment mocking people who got COVID after being vaccinated is just more dangerous disinformation. She is discouraging people from getting vaccinated by falsely implying that vaccines don&#8217;t work. Which results in the virus spreading and infecting more people, including some who were vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>What Ingraham doesn&#8217;t bother to mention is that the vaccinated will generally have mild symptoms, if any, while the unvaccinated are far more likely to wind up in the hospital, or the morgue. But those pesky facts don&#8217;t deter Ingraham or Fox News from spreading lies that put people&#8217;s lives at risk. In fact, as can be seen in this instance, they actually get off on it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
