Fox News is now actively evangelizing against vaccinating children for COVID-19, following an announcement from Pfizer that the company would be submitting data to regulatory agencies on its study that it said showed “a favorable safety profile and robust neutralizing antibody responses” in children ages 5 to 11.

Just to be clear, The Washington Post points out that the data must still be analyzed by unbiased experts, and the study was small enough that certain rare side effects might show up only in monitoring as the vaccine actually gets administered in greater numbers. Nevertheless, it is a hopeful sign for health care workers, as pediatric cases have increased from the delta variant — with 1.1 million cases over the past five weeks — leaving children’s hospitals and intensive care units overwhelmed in states that already had low vaccination rates.

Notably, the increase in children’s cases has affected children with no other preexisting conditions, and doctors have also worried about the potential effects of long COVID-19 in children. But that was not the message on Fox News — a network that is notorious for propagandizing against the vaccines and celebrating vaccine refusal, even as it has instituted strict vaccination and testing requirements for its own offices.

But any sense of urgency over increased pediatric hospitalizations was swept under the rug on Monday night’s edition of Fox News Primetime, with rotating host Pete Hegseth.

2. In essence, Fox "News" wants people to die.

And then blame Biden for their deaths.
