Fox News responds to Pfizer announcement by propagandizing against vaccination of children for COVID

[Botany]

Fox News is a TERRORIST ORGANIZATION

On the very day when Pfizer came out with good news about the vaccine that it looks to be safe and effective
in preventing the bad cases of the disease and deaths from the delta mutation of the covid virus in children Fox
News' Laura Ingraham had on disgraced heard immunity proponent and Trump pandemic advisor Dr. Scott Atlas
saying that kids really don't need the vaccine and beside not that many have died.

Fox News is a terrorist organization and they along w/Governors Noem, Tate, Abbot, DeSantis and other
GOP congresspersons are actively working to spread the virus. That fact can't be denied but my only
question is why?

************

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.

Fox host Laura Ingraham, who previously insisted that vaccinating children was “a non-starter for most parents” and “disgusting,” spoke with Hoover Institution fellow Dr. Scott Atlas, a radiologist who previously advised then-President Donald Trump to let the virus spread in order to achieve “herd immunity.”

The segment also featured a chyron throughout: “Profits over kids’ safety.”

1. Unfortunately knew this was coming

It's great younger children will soon be able to get vaxxed. Unfortunately, those with fervently anti-vaxx parents probably won't let them. Some schools could mandate it of course, but Abbott and DeathSantis and other GOP governors will make sure they can't in their states.

2. Funny Mississippi School Students are already manadated to a # of vaccinations.

Children entering a Mississippi school (from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade) for the first time are required to
have had the following vaccinations.

Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (DTaP)
Polio (IPV)
Hepatitis B
Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR)
Chickenpox (Varicella)

3. I know

but somehow requiring COVID vaccines would be "different" somehow according to DeathSantis, Abbott, or Tate and nobody will ever follow up to ask them how.

4. Fox News: the reason why we can't have nice things.

5. Fox News should be charged with homicide because of all their misinformation.

*******

BTW all of Dr. Atlas' former colleagues @ Standford Med School and Hospital disavowed any connection
to Dr. Atlas.

6. I think the people who are funneling disinformation on Facebook should be charged with more.

They are getting people killed at an alarming rate because they choose to believe the bullshit over actual science. It's completely disturbing. And someone needs to be held accountable for this.

7. You would think.

8. What is the matter with people? Some of these MAGA morons believe crap from the internet insted ...

... of real experts such as the CDC's Rachelle Walensky.

Early life and education:

Walensky was born Rochelle Paula Bersoff in Peabody, Massachusetts,[3] to Edward Bersoff and Carol Bersoff-Bernstein.[4] She was raised in Potomac, Maryland.[5][6] She is Jewish.

In 1991, Walensky received a B.A. in biochemistry and molecular biology from Washington University in St. Louis.[6] In 1995, she received an M.D. degree from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. From 1995 to 1998, she trained in internal medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Walensky then became a fellow in the Massachusetts General Hospital/Brigham and Women's Hospital Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program. In 2001, she earned an MPH in clinical effectiveness from the Harvard School of Public Health.

BTW I think Russia is all over the C-19 misinformation and I think they are deep into Fox News too.

9. Yeah I saw there were reports like 10 years ago about Russia...

Attempting to weaponize misinformation and that the vaccine disinformation originated from... wait for it... Moscow! I have no doubts this is Putin's doing and the attempt to sow disinformation among vaccines was their way of testing the waters. Of course no one could have predicted that we'd be in a raging pandemic 10 years ago.

10. Putin's installing Trump in order to weaken America by causing social/political division and ....

.... unrest has been successful beyond his wildest dreams.
