Republicans are a hoax.

From Salon:

Dean Obeidallah, progressive radio host filed a complaint on Tuesday against Fox News for coordinating a “misinformation campaign” around COVID.

The complaint alleges that Fox News violated the COVID-19 Consumer Protection Act, a December law which “​​makes it unlawful under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act for any person, partnership, or corporation to engage in a deceptive act or practice in or affecting commerce associated with the treatment, cure, prevention, mitigation, or diagnosis of COVID–19.”

The recently enacted COVID-19 Consumer Protection Act, which appears perfectly designed to address Fox News deceptive information," he added. “The goal of that law is to protect the public from deceptive info by those seeking to profit from peddling COVID related lies. Fox News is a for-profit business that sells information. Clearly, it’s a business decision by the executives at Fox News to allow lies and other deceptive COVID vaccine info to repeatedly appear on its air.”

Maybe this will get their attention and more complaints against other Confederate media will follow.

Sadly, this is what happens when you do not listen to real scientists and experts.

Oh sure, now that your base/viewership is dying, vaccines are cool!!!

How quaint!!

“Never mind.”

Fox News waited a year and a half, just to make sure that the vaccine was safe. I believe that, they were concerned about public safety. /S

Desantis says he doesn’t want school children wearing masks so they can breath. But he doesn’t care if the kids, parents and teachers get Covid and can’t breath!!

FAUX ARE EFFING HYPOCRITES!!

Fox employees, including those who work at Fox News, received an email, obtained by CNN Business, from the company’s Human Resources department in early June that said Fox had “developed a secure, voluntary way for employees to self-attest their vaccination status.”

The system allows for employees to self-report to Fox the dates their shots were administered and which vaccines were used.

The company has encouraged employees to report their status, telling them that “providing this information to FOX will assist the company with space planning and contact tracing.”

Employees who report their status are allowed to bypass the otherwise required daily health screening, according to a follow-up email those who reported their vaccination status received.“Thank you for providing FOX with your vaccination information,” the email said. “You no longer are required to complete your daily health screening through WorkCare/WorkMatters.”

The modern day ‘boy who cried wolf’ comes true.

Rethuglicans and their mouthpiece Faux News didn’t care about COVID until their voting customer base started dropping like flies.

Oops! Our bad …

Governor Kay Ivey (R- ALA) was obviously exasperated when she blamed the unvaccinated for the Delta surge. tinyurl.com/tpyh88z4

Vaccines are OK?

Someone head out to that well known cliff and stop those Lemmings, before it’s too late.

And sir? Please give up your government handout Medicaid and Medicare, you MAGA idiot.

It slipped his mind. He meant to say something about it, way back when he took his shot.

The Faux-vists are paying dearly for the attention they’ve given to Faux News.

“These vaccines are saving lives,” DeSantis noted.

Some cruise ship lines are planning on avoiding Florida due to their insane covid policies.

The fault lies with science, Fauci, Biden and false info!

Republicans are really counting on the stupidity of the American public.

The general level of information (“low”) among the Antivaxxer MAGA set is revealed by the numerous accounts of such people, horribly sick with Covid-19, who ask to be vaccinated.

I.e., who have no clue as to what a vaccine is or how it works.

Republicans repeatedly predicted that COVID-19 would ‘disappear’ after the election … guess what?

“It will go away.” (3/6/2020)

“It’s going to go away.” (3/12/2020)

“It will go away, and we’re going to have a great victory.” (3/30/2020)

“It’s going to go away, hopefully at the end of the month. And, if not, hopefully it will be soon after that.” (3/31/2020)

“I didn’t say a date. I said ‘it’s going away,’ and it is going away.” (4/5/2020)

“It’ll go away—at some point, it’ll go away.” (5/15/2020)

“I will be right eventually. I said, ‘It’s going to disappear.’ I’ll say it again.” (4/19/2020)

“It’s going to go away.” (8/30/2020)

“It’s going to disappear; it is disappearing.” (10/10/2020)

“It is going away; it’s rounding the turn.” (10/24/2020)

Funny thing about those dates. It seems like after the election, someone really did stop talking about COVID-19. It was the guy who never cared.

Cashing In On Corruption? FOX News Gets Slammed on Their Own Air for Flagrant Hypocrisy

Makes the already hospitalized patients suddenly want the vaccine – and unhappy that it is a preventative, not a cure…

Two days later: I did NOT say people should get vaccinated. Scum

Too bad he couldn’t think for himself and use common sense instead of letting someone else think for him.

A nurse interviewed the other day stated that some of her colleagues are suffering from “empathy fatigue.” They are exhausted and then they have to treat patients who refused the vaccine. Feel so badly for medical community. Except those who are not getting vaccinated themselves.

Too little, too late. Especially, as many of the commentators are still spewing vaccine lies on their other media outlets.

Difficult for me to feel too sorry for this guy, if he didn’t think for himself.

Today’s trivia question: How would Clark Kent have explained to Perry White why he didn’t get his COVID shot?

One problem with that picture. If he’s on a ventilator, he’s anesthetized.

Nice!

Right wing propaganda makes people want to die.

People are starting to blame the unvaccinated. It is not their fault really. People should blame those in positions of leadership or influence who spread misinformation. I wonder if unvaccinated people who get covid can sue those people who told them not get vaccinated. They should.

Suckers.

Darwin approves!
