Fox News' favorite anti-vaxxer guests are at war





https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-favorite-anti-vaxxer-guests-alex-berenson-and-robert-malone-are-at-war?via=Twitter page

A fairly standard late-night Fox News cable segment featuring self-described “COVID Contrarian” Alex Berenson and infamous anti-vaxxer Robert Malone skidded off the tracks after the former accused the latter of overplaying his hand.

And Malone—whose recent appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast led to widespread outrage from the medical community—is extremely perturbed by the “totally unprovoked” attack, he told The Daily Beast on Saturday afternoon.

The tense on-air exchange spilled over with claims made by Malone that Berenson, who has become a regular on Tucker Carlson’s primetime show amid the pandemic, serves as “controlled opposition.”

“Listen, I don’t think Dr. Malone does himself or those of us who are trying to raise questions about the vaccines any favors, when he refers to himself as the inventor of the mRNA technology,” argued Berenson. “That is clearly a large exaggeration. And I don’t think he does us any favors, when he says that ivermectin has been proven to work. I think that is a huge overstatement of the case.”

Science is having a great laugh at you all while Covid kills and sickens you, and you don’t even know. Why would anyone listen to people who prove daily they know nothing?

The hospitals full of fake people on fake ventilators in fake ICUs…or hospitals and insurance companies providing false statistics to pad Medicare receipts, in a secret conspiracy on a massive scale? Has to be one or the other to support your lies. Or…get ready for this…there IS a pandemic and drinking bleach and urine don’t do shit.

M going with the scientists and the statistics and the physicians, nurses and hospitals.
