Carlson, who has regularly mocked public health experts and questioned the consensus of the scientific and health communities on measures that can be taken to reduce the spread of coronavirus, highlighted an Alaska health worker who had a Adverse reaction to the vaccine on Tuesday, but it responded quickly to standard treatment.
But Carlson did the opposite, opening his program with the story of the Alaska worker as an on-screen graphic that read, “BAD VACCINE REACTIONS.” The text on Carlson’s banner that appeared in the lower half of the screen snorted, “THERE WILL BE NO QUESTION IN THE CROWN VACCINE.”
Carlson warned his viewers that they must be skeptical of what he described as a “dazzling” effort to vaccinate people.
“So how are we supposed to respond to the rest of a marketing campaign like this? Well, nervously,” Carlson said. “Even if you strongly support vaccines and we are, even if you recognize how many millions of lives have been saved over the last 50 years by vaccines, and we do, it all seems a little bit. It feels fake, because it’s like that. “It ‘s too slippery.”
Carlson mocked Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s top expert on infectious diseases, calling him “LORD FAUCI” and ridiculing his suggestion that families avoid seeing each other this Christmas.
