"SNIP........

Vanity Fair: “In fact, between June 28 and August 8 — as ICUs became overwhelmed and COVID cases among children in the U.S. jumped — Fox News’ anti-vaccination campaign got even worse; according to a report from Media Matters, the network aired 840 claims undermining or downplaying vaccinations, with hosts and guests suggesting the lifesaving immunizations were unnecessary, dangerous, a violation of personal freedom, and a plot by Democrats to win elections.”

“Which is obviously a uniquely fucked-up position to take considering vaccines have been proved to work and are our only hope of one day getting out of this nightmare. Also fucked up? That Fox hosts obviously know this and are personally following COVID protocols off the air, but assume their viewers are stupid enough to buy that they’re all in this together.”

... that I expected from the numerous radio propagandists, who have died from Covid after being naysayers against the vaccines, but those idiots were apparently true believers in right-wing fantasy.

Saving yourself while literally pushing others to their death seems a bit more than hypocritical. I know we've all said this, but seriously, are they completely without a moral compass or any idea of right and wrong? No job should be so important that you allow it to rob all moral decency from you. I will never get my head to understand these people. Never.
