As the nation faces a recent surge of new Covid-19 cases brought on by the Delta variant of the virus, several prominent figures on the Fox News network have stepped forward to make strong statements on vaccinations for the disease for their audience, a significant part of which has been described as being vaccine hesitant.

"I cannot be any more clear about this," Fox and Friends' host Brian Kilmeade said on his morning program. "At no point, during all times, nobody should never not always be thinking about never abstaining from not getting the vaccine."

"Don't not wait until it's too soon," Kilmeade's co-host Steve Doocy added.

Other Fox personalities were quick to echo this unambiguous sentiment.

"What is the risk of a person contracting a serious case of this virus versus the risk of any sort of side effects one might suffer from its vaccine?" Fox anchor Bret Bair asked his audience. "It's very obvious that the answer to this important question involves numbers."

"It's maybe very important to think about definitely possibly considering whether or not to weigh the options of immediately desiring to get vaccinated as soon as possible at some unspecified point in the distant future, perhaps today or some point thereafter," primetime host Sean Hannity told viewers.

The network's message on vaccines did not evade Fox's most popular host, either.

"Should you get the Covid vaccine?" host Tucker Carlson asked on his show. "The answer to that question should be very clear, and it's that our kindergarteners are being brainwashed into hating Mr. Potatohead by woke socialist teachers unions using Critical Race Theory!"

Details at Eleven.

1. The rightwing press has always been about getting vaccines and wearing masks.

It is the liberals that have dragged the country into another wave of the deadly virus with their calling the virus a hoax.

G. Orwell

3. That's what's coming and President Biden will be considered a failure for so many unvaxxed.

deplorables will believe ANYTHING they are fed.

5. Brilliant

6. This isn't a parody? I've read this 4 times thinking it has to be a parody.

Good grief. How do they look at themselves in the morning? It just has to be a parody, doesn't it?

[Tommy Carcetti]

9. I tried.

I guess I tried too hard?

[SergeStorms]

21. It read like a Borowitz report.

Or an article in 'The Onion'. Well done, Mr. Carcetti, well done. You certainly have a future in Snark.

[Biophilic]

25. No, it's awesome as a parody, but as DFW said below, it is so close to their regular gibberish.

I also have a problem with being being too gullible so you can't blame yourself. As parody I loved it. But, yeah, you were right on the mark - way too close to reality for the idiots at Fox.

[lagomorph777]

15. Um, yes. It's a parody.

[DFW]

19. Rest easy

"It's maybe very important to think about definitely possibly considering whether or not to weigh the options of immediately desiring to get vaccinated as soon as possible at some unspecified point in the distant future......"

"definitely possibly"

"as soon as possible at some unspecified point in the distant future"

Yes, it's a parody. But a savage one, because it's so close to the gibberish they really spout.

8. FOX is worried their viewers are dying.

[ananda]

10. Lol. They must be afraid of losing viewers.

!@#$%

[ProfessorGAC]

38. Were You As Shocked As I Was?

That's the last person I thought would drop that bomb on her voters.

[Hoyt]

39. Very shocked. She said, it's "time to start blaming the unvaccinated" for the surge.

Then went on to say they lacked common sense.

12. The word gobbledygook comes to mind. n/t

13. Great satire

[keithbvadu2]

14. More clear? Quadruple conflicting double negative with an exponent.

More clear? Quadruple conflicting double negative with an exponent.

High test gaslighting.

27. I was going to ask this precise question.

[Treefrog]

32. Pretty sure this is some Carcetti satire!

[Tadpole Raisin]

34. My old English teachers

Would go nuts seeing someone use double negatives and ending any sentence in a preposition was verboten.

‘course the average Fox viewer thinks it is all very clear…

[SheltieLover]

35. No doubt, on both counts.

[Cryptoad]

20. wink wink nod nod,,,,,,

this is what the MAGA Warriors hear......

[Politicub]

22. Losing a family member to a preventable disease is a wake-up call.

And these fuckers don’t give a damn about other people. They’re only pro-vax now so people don’t turn against the network.

It’s hell when people get hospitalized now — for anything. Visits are highly controlled, but visitors are probably still forbidden for Covid patients.

Covid is affecting everything. My grandmother had a perforated bowel emergency and she could have one visitor per 24 hour period, for a max of three hours. Anyone who has been hospitalized or knows someone who had surgery knows how critical it is to have someone there to help with small things, like moving a pillow or getting water. She was miserable because no one was there to help or advocate for her when the doctor stopped in on his morning rounds.

We could have beaten back Covid. We have enough vaccines for everyone. The right is a murderous, destructive force.

[SheltieLover]

30. So sorry your grandma suffered because of these magat maskholes!

I hope she is home and fully recovered!

[Politicub]

36. Thank you :)

She is doing really well. Thank goodness. She was in the hospital for eight days, and has improved by leaps and bounds over the past month.

[dchill]

23. It couldn't be clearer.

[The Wizard]

24. Losing a class action suit

could bankrupt the Murdoch propaganda machine.

[sarge43]

26. Sarah Palin wrote that, right? n/t

[leftyladyfrommo]

29. Good grief! nt

[Treefrog]

31. Well done!

[twodogsbarking]

33. That clears it all up for me.

[11 Bravo]

37. This is Borowitz and Onion worthy. I had to double check ...

to see if this was from one of those sources.

Very well done!!!

40. Kicking in light of this:
