Fox News fearmongers about vaccine requirements - mediamatters4america
If you watch Fox's coverage of the vaccine rollout over the last six months, there is one thing you know for certain: Fox hosts and personalities do not want businesses to require proof of vaccination, colloquially known as vaccine passports.
But now we have learned that Fox itself requires a vaccine passport, called a "Fox Clear Pass." Ryan Grim reported it on July 19, and Oliver Darcy further reported as well.
To say that condemnations of vaccine requirements have been ubiquitous on Fox News is an understatement. One Fox host likened requirements to communist East Germany. Tucker Carlson called requirements "medical Jim Crow" and agreed with Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk that requirements are like apartheid. Laura Ingraham said requirements would usher in a "brave new world." Just this morning, Florida's attorney general said on Fox Business that vaccine requirements would lead to a "segregated society."
Now we know the deep hypocrisy behind the Fox-GOP feedback loop on vaccine requirements, but don't expect them to stop.
