How is Fox reporting on the 100K dead Americans? Or are they ignoring that rather important fact?

My post wasn’t meant as a reply to your question, but I guess it was.
To be fair to Hannity a lot of Democrats have a problem with this too.
The Deep State is the gift that gives eternally. You don’t need a live person like Hillary, you don’t need a person at all. You just need CONSPIRACY!!!111!!1
I wonder if conspiracy theories’ appeal has to do with a combination of pride and laziness.
Everybody wants to be smarter than the other guy, but actually learning stuff takes a lot of work. If you go in for conspiracy theories, you get to know something that all the sheeple don’t know, but you don’t have to actually bother learning anything beyond superficial connections.
He may have a point, I dunno.

He’s right in that MSNBC isn’t a propaganda arm of a party, whereas the entire right-wing media ecosystem is.

What is more outrageous is that 29% of democrats aren’t sure that the Bill gates vaccination campaign is false!
We live in a stupid society. Fox news is just better at corralling them into watching their network.

Also there isn’t much we could’ve done.
People have been calling out Fox News since it’s inception. That’s literally all you can do.
Vaccine conspiracies know no political bounds! After putting a lot of thought into why that would be I came up with a theory that the exposure to fluorinated water after receiving the MMR vaccine causes the deactivated measles virus to reawaken and migrate to the part of the brain that drives belief in conspiracies. There were some really good videos on YouTube from doctors that proved this theory, but they’ve all been removed for exposing the truth!
Probably fits here. Gotta tell you all, I’m tired of this shitshow. We need serious leaders, and we have these clowns. We don’t have time for this shit. I feel terribly for the twenty somethings and kids out there.
On the left I suspect it’s often an outgrowth of the idea that anything ‘natural’ must be good and anything man-made or involving ‘chemicals’ must be harmful.
Of course, y. pestis was one of nature’s more memorable creations.

Seems like it’s more akin to… mom’s know best, who cars what the medical or science community says.
It’s anecdotal, but the most outspoken people I know with this anti-vax stuff are also anti-GMO, about half are on Keto diets, and all of them are women, not all of them are mothers though.

So all of the airhead buzz words.

Yeah pretty much. But it’s true, this doesn’t seem to have a clear political divide and… these are not people most would call stupid people. The very simplified logic seems to be akin to I stopped eating GMOs; I am on the Keto diet, vaccines are not natural and… now I walk a mile a day and lost a lot of weight so I must be right… except pretty much every one of them had the benefit of vaccines growing up, it’s not really optional in the industries we work in, AND the working up to a mile day and eating healthier doesn’t require ketsosis nor does any of that have to do with GMOs.
Based on nothing scientific at all, I would say the reason these things might be might be packaged together is it’s the lifestyle, the pressure, the shame and in some degrees the obsession or complete immersion in the culture which is why they stick to it.
I’m very curious about these Tory reconnaissance flights.
