Sean Hannity said on FOX last night:
MONOLOGUE OF THE NIGHT — Fox News host SEAN HANNITYurged his viewers Monday night to “please take Covid seriously. I can’t say it enough. Enough people have died. We don’t need any more death. Research like crazy. Talk to your doctor. … I believe in science. I believe in the science of vaccination.” The clip
When will Tucker Carlson speak up? I bet he is already vaccinated. Like Hannity. They don’t want to die.
Wonder if his lawyers called him to tell him that he had to do this after a year and a half of shilling Trump’s denialism.
Or Fox Lawyers .

They should say clearly that they have been vaccinated and that Trump has been vaccinated. It’s the truth.
New York (CNN Business)Tucker Carlson has called the idea of vaccine passports the medical equivalent of “Jim Crow” laws. And other Fox News personalities have spent months both trafficking in anti-vaccine rhetoric and assailing the concept of showing proof of vaccination status.
But Fox Corporation, the right-wing talk channel’s parent company, has quietly implemented the concept of a vaccine passport as workers slowly return back to the company’s offices.
Fox has always been fine with anything as long as its other people who are dying.
Though he might not use curse words on screen, Sean Hannity IS a profanity.
I’m wondering about possible lawsuits since Steve Doocy just said basically the same thing.
Yes
I hope the so called “dirty dozen” of false information spreading can be held accountable too.

Mark Zuckerberg said that his Facebook users are 85% in favor of getting vaccinated – his words infer Facebook couldn’t be the main cause of misinformation about the virus causing people to not be well informed about vaccines. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/facebook-suggests-it-s-more-effective-biden-vaccinations-n1274286
The only analogy I can think of is that the alcohol industry needs those with issues with alcohol to have large profits. ” this dynamic characterizes most industries, where 20 percent of the customers make up 80 percent of sales”
So maybe, for an example, if 80% of facebook users use the platform casually to keep in touch with friends…. and 20% are heavy users and click and consume and spread news…… this 20% is making the biggest impact on facebook profitability?? And maybe a large portion of this 20% are making a big difference in misinformation beyond the stats facebook is presenting to spin it’s impact on this pandemic.
One liar recants; another 100 million to go…,,

Hannity is one of the most dependably odious far right wing talk show hosts. It’s shocking that he would actually say something sensible after decades of lies, obfuscations, straw men, red herrings, flag waving, chauvinism, xenophobia and neo-McCarthyism. I hope this causes some dissension in the right wing ranks.
Maybe he is afraid that his viewers are dying.
Yes, and that was the first thing that struck me: an outbreak of COVID19 among the unvaccinated, by definition Hannity’s viewers, I would argue, would be tough on ratings.
I think King Hannity is noticing that little prince tucker gets too much of the limelight
“They don’t want to die.”
Just this once?
😈
Hannity has said that he has been vaccinated and so has Levin
I bet Tucker Carlson has been vaccinated. So has Trump and his family.
