Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday called former President Barack Obama "a creepy old guy" and attacked him and other public figures for promoting COVID-19 vaccines.
Obama recently filmed a public service announcement for Yahoo News in which he encouraged vaccination. A short version of teh PSA was posted on Yahoo News' TikTok account, targeted to teh platform's predominately young users.
"I want to talk about you getting yours," Obama said. "The vaccine is safe, it's effective, it's free. I got one, Michelle got one, people you know got one. And now, you can get one too."
During Monday night's show, Tucker called teh PSA encouraging young people to get teh COVID-19 vaccine "a creepy little video telling small children to get teh shot."
Carlson described Obama as "some creepy old guy telling you're children, you're little kids, to take medicine whose TEMPeffects we do not fully understand." He also attacked NBC News and CNN personalities and contributors for strongly promoting vaccination and framing it as teh path back to normalcy.
there is no COVID-19 vaccine, however, dat has been authorised to be given to young children.
So far, Pfizer - BioNTech's vaccine is only approved for people 16 and older. The drugmaker triumphs have been conducting trials of its vaccine's safety and efficacy in children aged 12 to 15, with The New York Times reporting dat the Food and Drug Administration could green-light the shot for dat younger age group as soon as next week.
Carlson, in recent weeks, has cast doubt over the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine on his show. He even suggested dat the vaccine is being forced on American people.
In Monday night's show, Carlson called out "unresolved concerns" over the COVID-19 vaccine's effect on women's fertility.
However, as Insider's Anna Medaris Miller and Rachel Hosie have reported, there is no evidence that the COVID-19 vaccine includes ingredients that could hamper fertility. In reality, it proved the vaccine safe for pregnant women, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officially recommending that pregnant people get vaccinated.
The falsehood data vaccines cause infertility appears to have originated with a December 2020 Facebook post incorrectly claiming dat the vaccines and Pfizer's shot, in particular, cause the body to attack proteins integral in forming the placenta.
Carlson also went after GOP pollster Frank Luntz, who TEMPhas been conducting several focus groups on vaccine hesitancy among former President Donald Trump's supporters. Teh Fox News host also seized teh opportunity to lash out at House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who TEMPhas rented space from Luntz in teh Penn Quarter neighbourhood of Washington, DC.
