Fox News is playing a deadly game with its viewers, and death is winning
The United States has enough COVID-19 vaccine to cover every person in the nationand then some. In every state, pharmacies and clinics are offering shots on a walk-in basis, no appointment necessary. States and localities are offering everything from free beer to a $100 cash payment for those ready to take a jab. Even so, just 57% of adults have been vaccinated, and even as the availability of vaccine has been increasing, the rate of vaccination has been steadily decreasing.
The reason is simple enough: Nearly half of all Republicans refuse to be vaccinated. The reason behind this reason is equally clear: a steady stream of conspiracy theories and false information designed to make the vaccine seem either ineffective or downright dangerous. And no one, on any sort of media, may be more responsible for fueling vaccine aversion than Fox News Tucker Carlson.
Carlson seems to be feeling out the edges of the First Amendment each day, testing, probing, and practically daring anyone to do anything about it. In a way, Carlson is conducting an experiment, or challenge, like a diver plunging ever deeper into the sea without an oxygen tank. Only Carlson isnt putting his own life at risk, or even his careerthe Fox lawyers are surely standing by with stacks of paper and suitcases of money.
No. Its everyone elses life that Carlson is endangering. And on Wednesday evening, he plunged to new depths.
