Fox News personality Tucker Carlson was slammed on social media as dangerous, irresponsible and “truly, truly evil” for his monologue Thursday night sowing doubt about the rollout of the coronavirus vaccine.
Carlson, on his prime time show, questioned the “glitzy entrance” of the vaccine, mocked “Lord of the Rings” actor Ian McKellen for receiving it and spotlighted allergic reactions experienced by a handful of people who’ve taken the Pfizer/BioNTech shot.
Banners that appeared on screen during Carlson’s monologue read “BAD VACCINE REACTIONS” and “THERE WILL BE NO QUESTIONING THE CORONA VACCINE.”
“How are the rest of us supposed to respond to a marketing campaign like this?” Carlson asked. “Well, nervously.”
Sometimes it seems like all Tucker Carlson has to do is sneeze and the left-wing activist media has a collective conniption. At least once per week, leftists and their fellow activists in the corporate media are freaking out about some comment Carlson made that caused them to feel emotionally wounded. This time, they are whining about remarks the Fox News host made regarding the new COVID-19 vaccine that was recently approved for use.
On his Wednesday show, Carlson expressed skepticism at the vaccination, stating that the rollout “feels false” and “too slick.”
During his opening monologue, the host noted that the rollout of the vaccination was supplemented by the type of marketing campaign “that you would typically associate with high-end consumer products.”
