      It’s not hypocrisy it’s worse. It’s really careful pandering to like 100 different crackpot groups to effectively form the garbage pile that is known as the Republican Party

      It’s something slightly different than hypocrisy. They’re not only criticizing people who choose to be vaccinated, which is hypocrisy, but the vaccine itself. It seems like a pretty fucked up political agenda to have, but what we’d expect from fox - be contrary, divide people just for the sake of profit and sowing discontent and confusion, and fuck the effects on the country. Or they actually want to harm the populace…

        What you’re describing is redundant… it’s like saying that not only you criticize people who use 5G, but the 5G tech itself.

          Not precisely. Saying the vaccine isn’t effective or is dangerous can’t be hypocritical because they’re not a vaccine. Saying vaccine users made a bad decision isn’t even necessarily hypocritical because maybe they think they themselves did. Saying vaccinated people are sheep or unintelligent would be hypocritical because they’re vaccinated.

            Would it? I mean she works for Fox. That sounds like an accurate statement in her case.
