People already don't want to get vaccinated. If I were younger I wouldn't, either. These are untested medicines, we don't know the extent of the problems they cause, and many people simply are not at risk of serious illness at this time. Notably, many of the people who are not at risk are children and teens, who have the opportunity of long lives ahead of them. Yet, we don't know what the long-term effects of the vaccines might be. Do I want my 4 year old grand kids to have it? Hell no. People have to do what they want to do. These are individual choices. While Tucker may be exaggerating the risks, he may not be. I didn't hear that episode in its entirety but it does seem to me he qualified his statements somewhat. VAERS reports are unverified and don’t show causation, that's true. But it is also true this is a government-operated database that has been used for years, and the reporting on Covid is awfully inconsistent with that for previous vaccines. If the data are unreliable, why does government maintain the database? Why not shut it down if it is just a pack of lies? VAERS is managed by CDC and FDA. If they believe the data are worthless, they should not have such a database. But Carlson points out that the reporting is inconsistent for Covid versus other vaccines. Tucker's exaggeration is that Covid is the most widespread vaccine campaign and the others aren't. I just listened to entire segment in the last few minutes. I cannot find a lie in it. What Tucker said in that episode is far less misleading than Biden's claims. Tucker points out there are low risk categories, nearly no-risk categories, and only a few high-risk patients remaining unvaccinated. Pushing these low/no risk patients to get vaccinated is fine, but it ought to come with a dose of truth from the Administration.
