Tucker Carlson Hyped These Fringe COVID Theories. The Science Just Fell Apart.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson and his fellow COVID-19 deniers have pounced on two controversial claims recently, arguing that face masks endanger children and that a drug used for parasitic worms could potentially treat COVID-19. Some have cited two scientific studies to back them up.

The issue: Those studies have since been retracted.

On Friday, JAMA Pediatrics retracted a study claiming face masks could expose children to increased levels of carbon dioxide, one Carlson had covered extensively on his show Tucker Carlson Tonight.

It adds to the widespread concern about the role public figures like Carlson have had on the U.S.’s vaccination rollout, which has slowed among young people. The Biden administration is struggling to reach its aim of vaccinating at least 70 percent of the population.

Bleach and a UV light enema Tucker. That's what your hero recommends.

that will damage us and our children?

Or a wonderfully beneficial thing that will only help plants grow and will never ever contribute to climate change?
