Oh look, someone wrote an article about this topic.

Fox News fools the mainstream media — again | Salon.com

I am sorry to report I've had more than one conversation with progressives who, despite being savvy and well-read, are under the mistaken impression that Fox News has seen the light and has started to promote the COVID-19 vaccine. I've even witnessed speculation that Rupert Murdoch, who is himself vaccinated, had a come-to-Jesus meeting with the Fox News brass about the wisdom of encouraging their own audience to contract a dangerous disease. And while I always enjoy a cheeky opportunity to tell folks they should be reading my work more, overall, it's distressing to see that people are buying into the myth that Fox News has "pivoted" to being pro-vaccine.

But can you blame folks for believing this? Someone who prides themselves on a responsible, fact-based diet of mainstream media sources like CNN, NBC News and NPR likely got exposed in mid-to-late July to misleading stories hyping an out-of-context clip of Fox News host Sean Hannity saying, "I believe in the science of vaccination" and urging viewers to "take COVID seriously." The clip also got shared widely on social media.

Looks like Fox is back on the death train.

The executives at Fox News says Employees must disclose vaccination status!

Fox the corporation is strictly enforcing vaccine mandates.

Fox the propogandists keep lying to the public and keep the lemmings riled up.

I'm sure the worst Press Secretary in 20 years will file this little tidbit away for the next time Peter Douchebag attempts another "when did you stop beating your wife" question concerning vaccines.

Who's going to pay for all those expensive monoclonal antibody treatments for people who didn't get the vaccine?

""All employees must enter their status no later than today, August 17th, by close of business,"

I wonder how many failed to comply and what consequences, if any, there are for failure to comply.

Another way to up the vaccination rate is to spread the rumor that Joe Biden and his evil minions “The Squad”, along with George Soros are plotting to prevent good honest Republicans from getting the miracle cure for Covid19. "They don't want you to have it!"

Republicans will have to be sneaky. They’ll have to go against "what Biden wants" and sneak down to their local vaccination clinic and get the shot. THAT will show them government types that NOBODY can tell a good Republican what they can’t have!

Speaking of people "sneaking" in to get vaccinated....


You weren’t supposed to say the quiet part out loud man! Keep it on the DL so us Democrats can get our booster doses before the holdouts get their first dose! By sending doses abroad to “shithole countries” and jacking the remaining vax supply for *our* boosters next month, white conservative Boomers will die off faster!!!

I mean, that’s why we got the hippy Hollywood anti-vaxxers to convince everyone on right wing Internet not to get the vaccine, right?

I'm sticking with my original idea from last year of vaccine ID bracelets. Imagine being able to identify the unvaccinated unmasked people and be able to avoid them in public places.

Seems like an easy solution. Makes it easy for businesses to require vaccination or mask wearing.

They are available
