Timeline: Tucker Carlson’s unhinged COVID-19 coverage
“Since the beginning of the pandemic, Fox News has been a major source of COVID-19 misinformation and conspiracy theories — but none of the network’s personalities have attained the same level of consistency and recklessness in their coverage as prime-time host Tucker Carlson.
From criticizing mask-wearing and attacking public health experts to airing unfounded claims that the virus is a Chinese bioweapon, insisting that the pandemic is not actually a problem because “death is inevitable,” and claiming the COVID-19 vaccine is killing thousands, here’s a non-comprehensive timeline of Carlson’s deranged coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
“At High Cost”
I hate stories like this!
Family who lost grandma to COVID-19 asks people feeling sick to stay home, away from gatherings
“Barb loved being with family and found the pandemic brutal. The 82-year-old took the precautions she could. Mrs. Bartolovich got vaccinated – and only socialized with people taking similar precautions.
Lauren says her grandmother decided to attend a card game with friends. She asked if everyone was vaccinated. Everyone said yes. But her loved ones say then one player took a gamble at that card game that no one else saw coming.
“Somebody decided that testing positive for COVID is something they can hide,” Lauren said. “The only way we found out is that the person owned up after Nana got sick.”
Lauren says she doesn’t want to reveal her grandmother’s friend’s identity out of respect for their privacy. But she wants you to know what happened as you make decisions.
Though her grandma was vaccinated, as a blood cancer survivor, her immune system was weak. She caught COVID-19, was hospitalized, ventilated, and died on Dec. 21, right before Christmas.”
Yes. DEATH is a pretty high cost for some,
Former Trump Adviser Steve Cortes Out at Newsmax
Tensions between Cortes and the MAGA cable network had long been simmering, sources suggested, but it was the Trump loyalist’s vehement disagreement—which he wasn’t shy about publicly voicing—with Newsmax’s company-wide vaccine rules that was the final straw.
Earlier this month, Newsmax instituted a rule that all employees must either be vaccinated or submit to weekly COVID testing. The news of such a policy, which was in compliance with the Biden administration’s policy for businesses with more than 100 employees, pushed Cortes to unequivocally declare on Twitter that he wouldn’t have any part of it.
“I will not comply w/ any organization’s attempt to enforce Biden’s capricious & unscientific Medical Apartheid mandate,” he blared in one tweet. “I will not be forced into the injection, nor will I disclose my vaccination status. No one should be pressured to choose between medical privacy & their job.” https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1464620293188685835?s=20

Dietrich Bonhoeffer > Quotes > Quotable Quote
“Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed – in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical – and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.”

Hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine and other potential COVID-19 treatments explained
Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin as a treatment of COVID-19: preliminary results of an open-label non-randomized clinical trial
“1) There were 26 patients treated with hydroxychloroquine. Of these 6 are excluded because they did not continue the full 10 day course of treatment; 3 were transferred to ICU, one died, one discontinued due to adverse reaction (nausea) and one left hospital early.
Thus among the 26 patients started on with hydroxychloroquine, 15% (4/26) went to ICU or died vs. 0/15 of the controls, a difference that may be due to chance. However the baseline characteristics of the 6 patients who deteriorated rapidly are not presented in Supplementary Table 1. The analysis of outcomes of the treated group are based on the remaining 20 treated patients.
Among the 36 patients presented in S Table I the treated group is significantly older and more have lower respiratory tract disease at baseline (30% vs 12.5%).
What is the impact of treatment on clinical course? Among the 20 patients who received hydroxychloroquine, six were given azithromycin “to prevent clinical infection”. Since 5 of 6 had negative swabs at day 3, it is possible that clinical and viral status diverge.
While it is to be hoped that hydroxychoroquine with or without azythromycin will be of use in treating patients infected with SARS CoV2, the data presented in this manuscript, which is focused on viral shedding, are limited. Clinical outcome and safety data are needed. An intention to treat analysis needs to be included for the clinical outcomes.”
Laura Ingraham and FOXNews are putting Trump winning ReElection Over the Public’s Safety using the excuse of the Economy and Money – This is Dangerous!
