World Horrified as Anti-Vaccine Madness Takes Over USA
The world continues to be astonished by the anti-vax propaganda in the United States, which is turning people against modern medicine. Some of the latest examples include a conspiracy theorist in New York City, who was interviewed by Right Side Broadcasting, and said that “the Democrat platform is founded on this garbage [of vaccine mandates]. It's founded on destruction. It's founded on making us weak, making us dependent, you know, destroying our country. Democrats. Every time.” A teacher in California said that he’s willing to fight the vaccine mandate even if it means losing his job because he only answers to God and his wife — not the government. The idiocy has reached the halls of Congress, with Representative Billy Long going on the House floor last week and comparing the “terrible idea” of vaccinating military members to Coca-Cola coming out with New Coke in the 1980s. The displays of stupidity will continue for as long as COVID-19 and vaccine mandates are in the news. Maybe at some point down the road right-wingers and conspiracy theorists will get tired of fighting this battle and they’ll move onto their next issue of choice in the culture war.
Tucker Carlson Finally Confronted About Fox News Vaccine Mandate
Tucker Carlson was confronted about the Fox News vaccine mandate while on a Daily Caller show called “Save the Nation” and he didn’t quite know how to handle it. Co-host Jason Nichols mentioned to Carlson how unvaccinated employees at Fox have to submit to daily testing, which is stricter than the Biden mandate which calls for weekly testing of unvaccinated workers. Nichols point blank asked Tucker, “is Fox News denying the civil liberties of its employees by being stricter than President Biden?” Stuck in a corner, all Carlson could do was laugh and redirect the show’s co-host to ask someone else about it. Tucker went on to say, “I’m not qualified to speak for the company on this because I don’t run the company and I’m just an employee of the company.” Of course this explanation also falls flat, because Carlson doesn’t need to speak for the company in order to explain what the policy at Fox is. After rambling for a little bit longer, Tucker tried another deflection technique which was to bring up other viruses and diseases like HIV and prostate cancer and he made a slippery slope argument about employees disclosing their medical histories. Carlson should have to face this question on every media outlet he goes on for as long as he wants to badmouth vaccine mandates while ignoring the one he and his colleagues are subject to at Fox.
From yesterday’s show:
Alec Baldwin Accidentally Kills Crew Member on Set
There was an absolutely tragic story out of New Mexico last Thursday involving actor Alec Baldwin. While working on the upcoming movie “Rust,” Baldwin accidentally discharged a prop firearm that was mistakenly loaded with live ammunition. The bullet killed the film’s cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured its director Joel Souza. The incident remains under investigation by Santa Fe County Sheriff’s deputies. Clearly there were multiple errors made that led to the incident and it’s sadly not the first time people have been killed by prop guns on film sets. Baldwin said about the incident on Twitter, “there are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours. I'm fully cooperating with the police investigation to address how this tragedy occurred and I am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family.” Surely there will be more to learn about the events that led to the accidental shooting in the coming days but this is a tragedy that with basic safety procedures could have been avoided.
From yesterday’s show:
Fox Hosts Lie About THEIR OWN Vaccine Mandate
The Fox & Friends team responded to the assertion from President Biden and others that Fox News has a vaccine mandate while at the same time its hosts criticize governments and other businesses for having them too. Biden reiterated this fact at a recent CNN town hall which promoted Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade to fire back at him on their show the next morning. Kilmeade said “[Biden] thought it was funny that Fox has a vaccine mandate. You have a testing option at Fox.” Then Doocy backed him up by saying, “we don’t have a mandate, we have a protocol.” While it’s true that unvaccinated Fox employees can choose to get daily tests, that policy happens to be stricter than the Biden executive order requiring companies with one hundred or more employees to get their unimmunized workers tested weekly for COVID. But more directly, the Fox & Friends hosts are splitting hairs about the terms “mandate” and “protocol” when the two words are synonymous. A mandate is “an official order or commission to do something” and a protocol is “an accepted or established code of procedure.” So Biden is indeed correct to say that Fox has a vaccine mandate even though the people who work there seemingly don’t like getting called out for that hypocrisy.

Regarding the mask mandate and the teachers who tearfully tell us that they are giving up teaching because they object to being forced to get the vaccine: Guess what? We don't WANT you to educate our children! You are demonstrating ignorance and arrogance in the worst possible way. There are THOUSANDS of substitute teachers who can and will take your jobs, in a heartbeat. And their jobs will become permanent, not substitute. Thank you for showing your true colors. You don't deserve to be a teacher. And thank you for giving these other teachers jobs that are well-deserved.
One solution to the anti-vaccine propaganda is to have all of these people move to Idaho--the hot seat of the White Supremacists. Let them ALL catch the virus and suffer in their own backyard. If you hate Blacks and Jews, you will feel welcome in Idaho. Pass the word.
