>>> AS COVID CASES CONTINUE TO
GROW IN ALL 50 STATES, THERE ARE
MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF
AMERICANS ELIGIBLE FOR THE
VACCINE WHO HAVE NOT BEEN
VACCINATED FOR A WHOLE VARIETY
OF REASONS, PROBABLY AS MANY
REASONS AS THERE ARE PEOPLE.
I WANT TO KEEP MAKING THIS CLEAR
BECAUSE I THINK ITS TEMPTING TO
REDUCE THIS TO A SIMPLE
POLITICAL STORY THAT MILLIONS OF
THESE FOLKS, ITS NOT BECAUSE
THEY LOVE DONALD TRUMP OR FOX
NEWS OR HAVE CONSERVATIVE
POLITICS, ITS COMPLICATED.
THAT SAID ITS ALSO CLEAR AND
UNDENIABLE THAT A BIG PART OF
THE VACCINE RESISTANCE IS BEING
DRIVEN BY OPPOSITION OF
CONSERVATIVE MEDIA.
TAKE A LOOK AT 24 CHART.
EACH LINE REPRESENTS A STATES
VACCINATION RATE OVER TIME.
THE BLUE LINES ON THE TOP, THOSE
ARE THE BLUE STATES GETTING
VACCINATED MUCH HIGHER THAN ANY
STATE WHO VOTED FOR TRUMP
ALTHOUGH YOU SEE THOSE ONES
FLATTENING AS WELL.
IT IS UNDENIABLY THE CASE THAT
ONE OF THE MAIN ISSUES WE ARE
FACING IN COMBATTING THIS
DISEASE 18 MONTHS INTO THIS IS A
KIND OF RADICALIZATION OF THE
AMERICAN RIGHT AGAINST
VACCINATION.
FOR ALL OF THE BACK AND FORTH
BETWEEN THE WHITE HOUSE AND
FACEBOOK, THERES ONE OTHER VERY
OBVIOUS SOURCE OF VACCINE DS
INFORMATION
DISINFORMATION NIGHT IN AND
NIGHT OUT THAT IS NOT FACEBOOK
NKTS THE BIG PROBLEM HERE IS
WHAT THE PRESIDENT IS NOT
TELLING YOUNG PEOPLE.
>> MAYBE, DAN, WE HAVE BREAKING
NEWS.
TURNS OUT THE VACCINES MIGHT NOT
WORK IF FIVE ON THE SAME PLANE
HAD THE COVID-19 VIRUS.
>> THIS IS A PANDEMIC OF THE
UNVACCINATED IS SIMPLY UNTRUE.
THATS A LIE.
THE VICE THEYRE GIVING YOU
ISNT DESIGNED TO HELP, ITS
DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU COMPLY.
AND YOU SHOULDNT COMPLY
MINDLESSLY.
>> EVERY ONE OF THOSE SOUNTD
BITES WAS FROM FOX NEWS.
THEYRE NOT TRUE.
I MEAN, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE
UNVACCINATED -- THAT ARE
VACCINATED WHO HAVE GOTTEN BREAK
THROUGH CASES BUT BY AND LARGE
IT IS A PANDEMIC OF
UNVACCINATED.
FOX UNDERMINED VACCINATION
EFFORTS IN NEARLY 60% OF ALL
VACCINATION SEGMENTS IN A
TWO-WEEK PERIOD.
IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS DONE IN THE
MOST WOULD YOU WARDLY WAY
IMAGINABLE.
ITS NOT DONT GET VACCINATED,
WERE JUST ASKING QUESTIONS.
DONT TAKE A POSITION.
DONT TAKE MEDICAL ADVICE FROM
PEOPLE ON TV.
THEYRE TRYING TO GET YOU TO
COMPLY SO YOU SHOULD NOT COMPLY.
ITS ANTI-PRO-VAX AND ALL
STOKING FEARS AND MISGIVING
ABOUT EVERY OTHER SINGLE
INTERVENTION THAT COULD SAVE
LIVES WHETHER THAT WAS SOCIAL
DISTANCING, CLOSING BARS AND
NIGHTCLUBS AND MASKING INDOORS.
THE DOMINANT PERSPECTIVE OF THAT
PERSPECTIVE FROM THE NETWORK HAS
BEEN WHO CARES IF ALL OF THOSE
PEOPLE DIE, THEYRE OLD, POOR,
SICK ANYWAY.
NOW ONE PERSON WHO DOES CARE
ABOUT OLD PEOPLE DIEING IS NEWS
CORP BOSS RUPERT MOURDOCK
HIMSELF IS OLD AND IS ONE OF THE
FIRST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TO GET
THE VACCINE WHILE HIS NETWORK IS
MAKING TONS OF MONEY AND RATING
PERFECTLY WELL PUMPING THE KIND
OF NONSENSE WE JUST PLAYED BUT
THAT WONT AFFECT THE ACTUAL
POLICY MAKERS IN FOX WHO ARE
FORCED INTO THE SAME CONUNDRUM ANYONE DOES.
ANYONE DOES.
HOW DO INSTITUTIONS TO WORKING
AREAS KEEP PEOPLE SAFE WITH A
DELTA VARIANT AND A SAFE, FREE,
EFFECTIVE VACCINE AVAILABLE?
WHAT TO DO?
ONE ANSWER IS MAKE SURE PEOPLE
ARE VACCINATED.
THATS PRECISELY THE KIND OF
POLICY THAT FOX NEWS HAS BEEN
RALLYING AGAINST, THE HEAVY HAND
FROM ABOVE TELLING YOU WHAT TO
DO.
VACCINE PASSPORTS.
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO LEARN
THATS EXACTLY WHAT THE BOSSES
AT FOX ARE DOING WITH THEIR OWN
BUILDING BECAUSE THEY DO
UNDERSTAND THE DANGERS OF THE
SITUATION, THE PREENING I HAD YO
SI OF ITS HOSTS.
THE INTERCEPTS RYAN GRIM SAYS
THEY HAVE THEIR OWN VACCINE
PASSPORT.
THEY WILL BE PROVIDED A FOX
CLEAR PASS.
THATS A SMART IDEA.
UNVACCINATED EMPLOYEES MUST
CONTINUE TO COMPLY WITH ALL OF
FOXS COVID-19 CATEGORIES.
THAT MAKES SENSE.
LETS DISTINGUISH BETWEEN FOLKS
THAT ARE VACCINATED AND
UNVACCINATED.
WHAT HOOPS THEY HAVE TO JUMP
THROUGH.
SENSIBLE.
THE SOLUTION SUGGESTS THAT
STRONGLY ENCOURAGING
VACCINATIONS MIGHT BE AN
INTERESTING PATH FORWARD.
MAYBE WE SHOULD BOOK THE HEAD OF
FOX HR HERE.
IF YOURE LOOKING FOR ONE OF THE
MOST OBVIOUS PLACES TO START IT
