“On May 5, Fox News and Tucker Carlson added another entry to their laundry list of reckless and incendiary claims regarding COVID-19: “Official government data” indicates dozens of people a day are dying after receiving COVID-19 vaccinations.” https://www.mediamatters.org/tucker-carlson/tucker-carlson-claimed-dozens-people-day-are-dying-covid-19-vaccine-its-blatant-lie |
FOX is clearly stuff-stirring, but you’re imagining that they are being ‘anti-vax’, especially if you claim they’re doing all they can to push that.
And it’s obvious all of you have let other cynics stir your stuff... |
Shopworn tactic of deny, then make a counter accusation. |
we don't have to imagine it. We can see it happening on the program. You are in denial. Even former Fox News exec thinks Fox News is peddling anti-vax conspiracy theories. |
No, that’s 68.5% of the FULL POPULATION, newborn+. It’s 80.8% of the population that’s eligible for vaccination (12+). I didn’t bother listing the 18+ statistic since it’s even higher and pretty meaningless givens the 12+ is so high. |
I just checked for you, for 18+ in MoCo: 82.6 Full vaxed and 90.4 half-vaxed. |
If you want to dis me for something, the easy win is noting that I am foolish enough to assume you’re engaging in good faith. |
I’ve checked the MoCo vax by zip code map and the Republican areas, like Boyds and Ag Reserve, are fairly high. Low-income areas like Aspen Hill and Wheaton look noticeably worse. |
There’s an education and income aspect to it too. The Republicans in MoCo are a lot of blue blood economic Republicans that have educations. |
Education is almost indistinguishable from income. Poverty, and accompanying issues like distrust, are at the forefront of vaccination hesitancy. |
