A spokesman for Governor Ron DeSantis said the high deaths among those who weren’t fully vaccinated against Covid was a matter of the Governor protecting their “right to make their own health decisions.”
Speaking to CNN, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading expert on infectious diseases, urged Americans to avoid having large New Year’s Eve gatherings, and to not attend any events where they don’t know the vaccination status of guests. Asked on his advice for people who wish to attend “larger settings,” Fauci was firm. “I would…
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, a South Carolina Democrat, has tested positive for COVID-19, the latest breakthrough case among members of Congress. “Tonight, I received a positive COVID-19 diagnosis. This is a breakthrough case, and I am asymptomatic,” Clyburn tweeted. “America is in a new phase of this pandemic. No one is immune. I urge…
CNN’s Don Lemon expressed his frustration with unvaccinated Americans, accusing them of prolonging the Covid-19 pandemic and saying that it’s time to “shun” them for their inaction. Lemon added that they were “harmful to the greater good.” “I think we have to stop coddling people when it comes to … the vaccines, saying ‘Oh you…
According to a new Axios-Ipsos poll, the majority of Americans––that’s 60%––support President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates. The mandates will affect roughly 100 million Americans. It will include a vaccine mandate for all federal workers and contractors, in addition to a requirement that large companies must mandate vaccines or regular testing for employees. Respondents were asked…
Former President Donald Trump, whose administration ignored or downplayed the severity of the Covid-19 pandemic from the start, claimed President Joe Biden is to blame for vaccine hesitancy. He also pushed back against vaccine mandates, calling them “unnecessary.” “If you remember, when I was president, there were literally lines of people wanting to take it,”…
Even though Covid-19 has surged across Arkansas in recent weeks, the state’s Republican Governor, Asa Hutchinson, insisted that President Joe Biden’s recent vaccine mandate for employers will only “harden resistance” among those who have refused to get vaccinated against the virus in the first place. “We have to overcome resistance,” Hutchinson said during an interview…
Former Vice President Mike Pence criticized President Joe Biden’s sweeping Covid-19 vaccination requirements. Pence lent himself to hyperbole, saying the announcement was “unlike anything I have ever heard from an American president.” “To have the president of the United States say that he’s been patient, but his patience is wearing thin, that’s not how the…
South Dakota Kristi Noem (R) has vowed to fight President Joe Biden’s sweeping Covid-19 vaccination requirements. Noem has explicitly refused to follow the guidance of medical experts throughout the pandemic, actions that resulted in South Dakota harboring one of the worst outbreaks in the United States. “This is not a power that is delegated to…
President Joe Biden is expected to announce a vaccine mandate for all federal employees with no option for testing or opting out. These steps are part of a 6-point Covid-19 action plan. “We know that increasing vaccinations will stop the spread of the pandemic we’ll get the pandemic under control, we’ll return people to normal…
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, slammed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for being “completely wrong” about Covid-19 vaccines. Fauci’s comments came after DeSantis insisted that whether or not a person gets a Covid-19 vaccine comes down to “personal choice.” “It’s about your health and whether you want…
On Friday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) insisted that whether or not a person gets a Covid-19 vaccine comes down to “personal choice.” “It’s about your health and whether you want that protection or not. It really doesn’t impact me or anyone else,” he said at the time. DeSantis’s remarks opened him up to harsh…
Donald Trump, thankfully is out of office. And some may have hoped the the COVID situation would get better with him gone. Except it hasn’t gotten better at all. Governors in red states had tried their best to emulate Trump by fighting any kind of COVID mitigation. And Ron DeSantis has fought harder than any…
Republicans just can’t keep themselves from talking about Nazi Germany while talking about COVID-19 restrictions. Marjorie Taylor Greene, of course, did it on multiple occasions. But Taylor-Greene got away with her actions. Kevin McCarthy chided her, she visited a Holocaust museum, but in the end, she faced no repercussions for her actions. So Thomas Massie,…
Kayleigh McEnany did not exactly develop a sterling reputation when she served as Donald Trump’s press secretary. During her first day on the job, she promised to never lie. She broke that promise on a number of occasions. One would think she’d have trouble finding a job after her controversial stint as press secretary. Fox…
Anti-Vaxxers have had a tough week. First, the FDA advised people not to take Ivermectin, a medicine used to de-worm cows and horses. The drug had been pushed by multiple Conservative talking heads. Then, the FDA gave full approval to the Pfizer vaccine. Many anti-vaxxers have claimed that they were waiting for FDA approval before…
In some parts of the country, notably, the American South, school has already started. And many red state governors are already making it difficult to keep children safe. Ron DeSantis has been one notable example. Bill Lee is another one. Now Tennessee is seeing skyrocketing COVID cases with children making up 1/3rd of the positive…
On the heels of the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) announcement that it had fully approved Pfizer and BioTech’s Covid-19 vaccine, New York City will require every Department of Education employee to have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine by September 27. There is no ability to opt out. “The new, stricter mandate,…
As expected, the Food and Drug Administration granted full approval to Pfizer and BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine. The move clears the path for widespread vaccine mandates and comes as the highly contagious Delta variant continues to pose health risks and threatens the nation’s economic recovery. Up until now, the FDA had allowed vaccines to be distributed…
During an appearance on MSNBC, Florida School Superintendent Dr. Carlee Simon explained why she continues to defy Governor Ron DeSantis’s ban on mask mandates. “Masks are not a medical device,” she said. “Masks are preventive. They are preventive safety devices. It would be just as though we were asking a student to wear a baseball…
Despite the city of Cullman, Alabama declaring a state of emergency just days before, Donald Trump held a rally there last night. And the adoring crowd hung on his every word. The only time they jeered him was when he encouraged them to get vaccinated. It is, of course, unprecedented for a former president to…
Anti-vaxxers aren’t likely to take restrictions well as viral videos from many school board meetings have shown. Up until this point, people who have failed to get vaccinated haven’t faced much hardship. But that can be changing in the new few months. This week, the University of Virginia removed students who have refused to get the…
Amazingly enough, despite a readily available vaccine, the country is now going through another wave of COVID-19 cases.Hospitalizations and deaths are up, especially in red states where far fewer people have been vaccinated. And there are also worries that the original vaccines could wane in efficacy over time. The White House recently announced that a…
Joe Biden recently ended America’s involvement in Afghanistan. And for a number of reasons, many of them not his fault, he is having a difficult time. Ron DeSantis couldn’t be happier about cable news spending much of its airtime on Afghanistan. The Florida governor is getting a pass on the fact that the COVID surge…
Pressley Stutts, who served as an executive committee member of the Greenville County Republican Party and the leader of the Greenville Tea Party, died in South Carolina after a battle with Covid-19. Stutts had pushed back against vaccination efforts in his state and regularly shared Covid-19 conspiracy theories. In June, he insisted that vaccination efforts…
Ron DeSantis has helped his state of Florida to become the epicenter of the Delta variant in the United States. But he doesn’t seem at all concerned about stopping the surge. Instead, DeSantis has focused on the COVID culture war. He has threatened to stop paying school administrators who instituted mask mandates (a number of…
Steve Walsh, the husband of Missouri State Representative Sara Walsh (R) has died of Covid-19 complications. He was unvaccinated. And his wife has continued to resist getting vaccinated herself. “It saddens my heart to share that this morning my best friend and beloved husband Steve Walsh was welcomed to Heaven’s glory into the arms of…
Wednesday was a big day for vaccine hesitancy promotion on Fox News. In the afternoon, Maria Bartiromo got the former president involved. Donald Trump told Fox Business viewers that booster vaccine shots are only being pushed so medical companies could make more money. And during the evening, host Will Cain doubled down on his COVID misnformation…
The White House will announce that most Americans will need Covid-19 booster shots eight months after their initial vaccination, citing data that shows signs of waning immunity. “Based on our latest assessment, the current protection against severe disease, hospitalization, and death could diminish in the months ahead, especially among those who are at higher risk…
Arizona Governor Doug Ducey (R) announced that the state will withhold Covid-19 relief funds from schools that have mask mandates in place. “Parents are in the driver’s seat, and it’s their right to make decisions that best fit the needs of their children. Safety recommendations are welcomed and encouraged — mandates that place more stress…
Greg Abbott has instituted plenty of policies that make it harder for Texans to stay safe from COVID. As a result, the state is currently seeing yet another surge of the deadly disease. Abbott, though, has made it very easy for himself to stay safe from COVID. The Texas governor has not only been vaccinated…
Texas is the biggest red state in the county. And because of that, many of its residents have refused to get inoculated against COVID-19. Governor Greg Abbott certainly hasn’t helped matters. Like, Ron DeSantis, his counterpart in Florida, Abbott is more focused on making the virus a culture war issue rather than actually doing anything…
Ron DeSantis seemingly has bigger ambitions than just being the governor of one of the largest states in America. The Florida governor looks to be pushing for the 2024 Republican nomination. In order to capture the nomination, DeSantis needs to appeal to Donald Trump supporters. He’s trying to do so by becoming a mask mandate…
Back in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Donald Trump, Republican lawakers and Conservative media relentlessly pushed the drug hydroxychloroquine. And despite their repeated claims about the drug, it turned out to be pretty much useless. The country now has a great way to combat COVID-19, vaccines that have proven to be incredibly effective….
Donald Trump always had a major problem with the use of masks to combat COVID-19. He thought is was a major insult to say that Joe Biden was wearing the “biggest mask I’ve ever seen.” And during his return to the White House from the hospital after suffering from COVID, he made a point of…
At this moment, the delta variant of COVID-19 is devastating areas in the South East portion of the United States. Not surprisingly, many of these states are led by Republicans. But while those Republican voters want Donald Trump to get credit for the vaccine, they aren’t interested in taking it. Steve Scalise, the number 2…
Florida, right now, is experiencing a severe COVID-19 surge. You wouldn’t know it, however, if you listened to Ron DeSantis. The governor is much more concerned fighting a culture war then keeping his people safe. And people in the Sunshine state are suffering. And considering vaccine rates, it’s much more likely to be unvaccinated Republicans…
Ron DeSantis doesn’t seem to care much about what happens in Florida right now. The state is in crisis mode thanks to the Delta variant of COVID-19. But the state’s governor seems more interested in fighting culture wars than combating the virus. One would think that DeSantis is doing so because he thinks that’s the…
Right now, the South is on fire with Delta variant COVID cases. And most of those states are run by Republican governors. And leaders like Florida’s Ron DeSantis, Texas’ Greg Abbott and Tennessee’s Bill Lee are doing next to nothing to protect the children of their state. In fact, DeSantis has been threatening school leaders…
Donald Trump really wanted to get the credit for vaccines hitting the country within a year of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, the former president’s most ardent supporters are the ones who are thus far avoiding getting their shots. As a result, the states where Trump got his highest vote counts are the…
Houston’s Harris Health Systems President and CEO Dr. Esmaeil Porsa warned that hospitals are facing “disaster” amid the strain of caring for a surge of Covid-19 patients as the highly infectious Delta variant continues to spread. “My hospitals are full … What is concerning is the rate by which our Covid-positive patients are increasing,” Porsa…
Speaking to CNN, Broward County Public Schools Interim Superintendent Vickie Cartwright said that her school board will defy Governor Ron DeSantis, who threatened to withhold school officials’ salaries if they defy an executive order forbidding schools from implementing mask mandates to curb the spread of Covid-19. “My core value is students first. No amount of personal financial loss…
Speaking to CBS, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said it is likely everyone will need a Covid-19 booster shot in the future. “It’s likely that that will happen at some time in the future,” Fauci said, when asked if everyone will need a booster shot at some…
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that it will require more than 25,000 members of its health care workers to be vaccinated against Covid-19. “Our number one goal is the health and safety of the American public, including our federal workforce, and vaccines are the best tool we have to protect people…
Long after he became one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Arnold Schwarzenegger became a politician. And he became an unlikely governor of the country’s largest state back in November of 2003. The former governor was then, as he is now, a Republican. That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have plenty of issues with his party. Schwarzenegger…
YouTube has suspended Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) from its platform after he claimed that wearing a mask is an ineffective safeguard against Covid-19. “This resulted in a first strike on the channel, which means it can’t upload content for a week, per our longstanding three strikes policy,” a YouTube spokesperson told CBS News in a…
In an appearance on MSNBC, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading expert on infectious diseases, said he supports vaccine mandates for teachers, arguing that local governments should be supported in their efforts to mandate that teachers be vaccinated against Covid-19. “I’m going to upset people on this but I think we should [mandate teacher vaccinations],”…
Twitter announced it has suspended the account of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) after she violated the platform’s rules regarding Covid-19 misinformation. In a tweet yesterday, Greene claimed that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) “should not approve the covid vaccines” and that vaccines were “failing” and not actually curbing the spread of the virus….
Governor Greg Abbott has cared much more about fighting the COVID culture war than about keeping people safe. Like Ron DeSantis, the Texas lawmaker has banned mask mandates in his state. Abbott’s office said in a statement, “Governor Abbott has been clear that we must rely on personal responsibility, not government mandates. Every Texan has…
With the delta variant surging in red states, Republicans don’t seem all that interested in combating the virus. Rand Paul recently promised to fight any precautions meant to limit spread. And Ron DeSantis is more interested in banning masks than stopping Florida’s growing COVID problem. Marjorie Taylor Greene recently took it a step farther, celebrating…
With COVID cases raging in red states and GOP governors doing nothing to help, Fox News personalities are looking for scape goats. Despite the fact that Fox viewers are less likely to get vaccinated, Fox claims that they are not the problem. Some anchors have tried to pin the COVID surge on migrants with no…
Ron DeSantis would really like to be the next president of the United States. And the Florida governor has decided that the best way to endear himself to GOP voters is to push culture war issues. At this moment, a quarter of new COVID cases are occurring in Florida. But DeSantis has done absolutely nothing…
Representative Lauren Boebert affirmed that she stands “with our bikers” after Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, expressed concern that South Dakota’s upcoming Sturgis Motorcycle Rally could serve as a “superspreader event” for the Delta variant of the coronavirus. “Fauci chastises those attending the Sturgis but never…
The Republican party is treating vaccines in a very curious manner. They, of course, want Donald Trump to get full credit for the creation of the shot. At the same time, many GOP voters are refusing to get vaccinated. Most public officials and media members who have been pushing vaccine hesitancy have gotten their shot….
Representative Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), who is one of three GOP congressmen who filed a lawsuit last week against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) over the mask mandate in the House of Representatives, has tested positive for Covid-19. “After experiencing minor symptoms this morning, I sought a Covid-19 test and was just informed the test results…
Amazingly enough, scientists were able to create a vaccine to combat the COVID-19 pandemic within a year. And 70% of Americans have received at least one of their shots. But there is a large group of people who have chosen not to get inoculated. Vaccinations have become a culture war issue with many in right…
The Delta variant of COVID-19 is reacting much differently than the original version of the disease did. It appears to be much more contagious and children seem to be more seriously affected. Still, the Republican governors who are making it harder for people to get vaccinated. And people like Ron DeSantis are saying that they…
Joe Biden came into the White House on a mission to get the COVID-19 pandemic under control. And for the most part, he has done that. Over 70% of Americans have already taken at least their first shot. But things are a little tougher where GOP governors are in charge. During a recent presser, Biden…
The Delta variant has created a major issue for residents of all states, but especially those who have a Trumpian Republican governor. And rather than trying to use this moment to encourage vaccinations, many Conservative pundits have chosen to keep referring to COVID as no big deal. Lindsey Graham, who tested positive despite being vaccinated,…
The Delta variant of COVID-19 is currently ravaging a number of red voting communities. Many right-leaning Republicans have been hesitant to get vaccinated. Fox News, however, is not about to blame their own viewers for allowing the variant to spread. Instead, the personalities of the network have decided to scapegoat immigrants. In fact, Ben Domenech…
This week, many Conservative outlets and lawmakers began to turn against those Americans who have chosen to remain unvaccinated. Of course, plenty of Fox anchors have continued to refers to endangering one’s community as a “choice.” Geraldo Rivera, now the voice of reason on Fox’s The Five, has continually raged against this talking point. In…
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called her counterpart, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) “such a moron” after he announced his opposition to a mask mandate in the House amid a nationwide surge in Covid-19 cases. Last night, McCarthy criticized mask mandates as “not a decision based on science” but one “conjured up by liberal…
Joe Biden is routinely attacked on Fox News. Each night the network’s personalities talk about his son Hunter or his mental capacity and sometimes they even discuss his policies. But unlike the previous president, Biden has a thick skin and is used to facing criticism. So when Jen Psaki was asked recently about people from…
Why are republicans so opposed to COVID vaccines? Claiming it is “political” is reductive. Perhaps the motive is more insidious.
COVID never had to become a political issue. Unfortunately, then the virus hit American shores, the worst possible person was in charge. And Donald Trump had no problem downplaying the seriousness of the virus if it helped his chances at reelection. Now the results of Trump’s actions are really starting to come into play. The…
Ron DeSantis, more than any other governor in the country, has politicized mask wearing. He has regularly pointed to his state as a model for how COVID-19 should be handled. At the same time, Florida is in the top 5 states for both total COVID deaths and cases. And right now, the virus is surging…
For months now, Republicans have been making Dr. Anthony Fauci the fall guy for COVID-19. The person responsible for the country’s horrible response, of course, was Donald Trump. But GOP lawmakers are willing to do basically anything to shield the former president from criticism. Yesterday, though, Fauci had enough of Senator Rand Paul’s grandstanding leading…
Florida has kind of become the epicenter of the MAGA movement. Donald Trump, or course, decided to make it his permanent residence following his presidency. And while it was one time the nation’s biggest swing state, it has become much redder over the last 10 years. Ron DeSantis, a Trumpian politician is beloved in the…
For a year now, Dr. Anthony Fauci has been appearing at House and Senate hearings concerning COVID. And over that time, the world renowned immunologist has held his tongue as he was attacked by Republican lawmakers. He finally broke on Tuesday and exploded on Kentucky senator and world class troll Rand Paul. While talking about…
Shortly after the COVID vaccines came out, some lawmakers rushed out to get them. And by mid-May, 219 Democratic congresspeople asked, 100% of them, said they had gotten their shot. The numbers looked much different for Republicans. Only 45% of GOP house members polled, 95 of 211, said they’d been vaccinated. That poll was conducted…
The hosts of the Fox News network are a bit all over the place on the vaccine. A few hosts have admitted to getting inoculated. Bret Baier took a ton of heat from Fox viewers after posting a picture of him getting the shot. Steve Doocy pleaded with viewers on Monday to get vaccinated. But…
There are some Republican governors, like Ron DeSantis or Kristi Noem, that don’t seem to care if their constituents die of COVID. Many other GOP governors, like Jim Justice, Mike DeWine, Charlie Baker and Asa Hutchinson have pushed hard to get their followers vaccinated. But Utah’s Spencer Cox took it up a notch on Monday….
There are a number of reasons why the Republican response to COVID vaccines have been odd. But nothing has been stranger than Donald Trump‘s reaction. On one hand, the former president wants complete credit for the inoculations development. On the other, he has refused to actively encourage those who follow him to get the shot….
A White House official confirmed that pop star Olivia Rodrigo, who has dominated the pop music charts since the release of her debut album, Sour, in May 2021 and became a viral sensation with the release of “Drivers License,” will meet with President Joe Biden as part of a bid to help push young people…
Democratic leaders in every state are focused on getting as many people vaccinated as possible. Unfortunately for them, the issue has been deeply politicized. Viewers of the Fox News network hear conflicting messages about the COVID vaccine on a nightly basis. Of course, they tell you that only Donald Trump should be given credit for the…
COVID-19 was never meant to be partisan issue. Unfortunately, the pandemic hit while Donald Trump was still in office. And fearing that the fallout could affect his reelection chances, Trump chose to politicize the issue. Joining the former president in pushing COVID disinfo were cable networks like Fox, Newsmax and OAN. In addition, politicians like…
“Fox and Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade doubled down on Covid-19 denial, calling the Biden administration’s focus on vaccination “mind-boggling.” “Listen, in many cases, they’ve done a very good job of getting the word out and getting the vaccine out,” he said, noting that the three vaccines that are available––Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson––”are available…
Representative Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) called medical professionals “Needle Nazis,” invoking the Holocaust and Nazism to criticize the Biden administration’s efforts to vaccinate as many people as possible against Covid-19. “Biden has deployed his Needle Nazis to Mesa County,” she tweeted. “The people of my district are more than smart enough to make their own decisions…
White House press secretary Jen Psaki told CNN that the Biden administration does not “take any of our health and medical advice from Marjorie Taylor Greene” after Greene compared a push by President Joe Biden to ensure as many Americans are vaccinated against the coronavirus as possible to the people who helped Adolf Hitler rise to…
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci warned Americans that unvaccinated children are more likely to contract the Covid-19 Delta variant because of its high transmissibility. “This virus is more a transmissible virus, therefore, children will more likely get infected with this than they would with the Alpha variant,” Fauci said…
Joe Biden is now back in town after his first foreign trip. The president’s trip was markedly different than those of his predecessor. Unlike Donald Trump, who was seen as mostly a joke by foreign leaders, Biden was accepted and embraced. And many of Biden’s initiatives so far have been popular with the American people….
For a freshman congressperson, Marjorie Taylor-Greene is in the news an awful lot. Then again, she likes it that way. The Georgia Rep. specializes in making offensive and ignorant statements. Last month, Greene used incredibly toxic rhetoric to decry mask restrictions in the House of Representatives, comparing the policy to the treatment of Jews during…
As more and more Americans get inoculated against COVID-19, the anti-vaccination people seem to be getting increasingly desperate. During a Tuesday night hearing in Ohio, a doctor named Sherri Tenpenny made some wild claims about vaccinations. She told lawmakers, “They (people who have gotten their shots) can put a key on their forehead. It sticks….
Slowly but surely, the fight against COVID-19 is coming to an end. A fair amount of people in the country are now fully vaccinated and businesses are fully opening. And now that Donald Trump is now out of office, Republicans are focused on gaslighting the public on his leadership during the pandemic. One of the…
Ron DeSantis has spent much of the last year bragging about how the state of Florida has combated the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the fact that the state is in the top 5 in the nation in cases and deaths, the Governor has regularly touted his leadership. Rebekah Jones is a scientist who formerly worked for…
House Republicans, many of whom have largely downplayed the severity of Covid-19 and backed former President Donald Trump‘s increasingly damaging rhetoric about the virus, are now insistent that Congress launch a probe into the virus’s origins. A letter from 209 House Republicans led by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), GOP Whip Steve Scalise (La.), and GOP Conference Chair Elise…
Barack Obama did not give Donald Trump much advice prior after the former was elected president. One person Obama did warn his predecessor about was Michael Flynn. There were increasingly strange rumors about the Army General. Not surprisingly, Trump ignored the advice and made Flynn his National Security Adviser. But shortly afterwards, Trump fired the…
The country is getting closer and closer to getting back to normal. And that is largely due to Joe Biden‘s COVID response. Fox News, though, does not want to give the president any credit. In fact, the network wants to make a major issue out of masks. Republicans in congress have been making a show…
COVID-19 cases are now dramatically down in all 50 states. As people around the country get vaccinated, states are beginning to lift social distancing and mask mandates. All in all, Joe Biden is way ahead of schedule on his promises made about stopping the pandemic. Of course, the hosts of Fox News are not willing…
For a few months, there was a mad rush of Americans looking to get vaccinated. And for them, it was luck of the draw, waiting online for hours to make appointments. But now vaccines are readily available. And states have moved to convincing hesitant people to get inoculated. Some governors like West Virginia‘s Jim Justice…
For a variety of reasons, many Conservatives have decided to take COVID-19 much less seriously than Liberals. The number one reason, of course, is Donald Trump. If the 45th President was to go on the attack against the virus, who knows where the country would be at this point. A number of Conservatives also felt…
Tucker Carlson has not had an easy time since Donald Trump has been out of office. And with OAN and Newsmax breathing down Fox’s neck, Carlson is willing to say anything for ratings. But he went a step farther than usual during an anti-mask rant on Monday. The Fox host encouraged his viewers to harass…
Since Joe Biden took office, Americans have been getting vaccinated at a rapid rate. The President’s initial plan was to deliver 100 million vaccinations in his first 100 days in office. The administration shattered that goal with over 200 million shots being delivered. But at this point, many of the people who were interested in…
In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Donald Trump aggressively pushed the drug hydroxychloroquine. Doctors suggested that, at best, the drug was useless and at worst, the treatment could be dangerous. Once Trump began pushing the drug, Conservative media and GOP lawmakers fell in line. In fact, the state of Oklahoma is sitting on…
Speaking on “Fox and Friends,” Ben Domenech, the co-founder and publisher of The Federalist who is also married to The View co-host Meghan McCain, criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading expert on infectious diseases, saying he is “sick and tired” of him “feeling that he can just weigh in on any kind of matter socially and have…
President Joe Biden took to Twitter to announce that all American adults can now get the Covid-19 vaccine. “Folks, I have good news,” he said in a video posted to his official account. “Everybody is eligible, as of today, to get the vaccine.” “We have enough of it, you need to be protected, and you…
President Joe Biden‘s administration announced it would invest $1.7 billion into tracking and combating COVID-19 variants as new strains of the virus continue to appear across the United States. “Thanks to today’s funding from the American Rescue Plan, states and the CDC will expand that even further and, importantly, provide states with more resources to…
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading expert on infectious diseases, criticized Fox News personality Tucker Carlson for remarks he made claiming that Covid-19 vaccines do not work amid concerns that Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine can cause blood clots in select cases. “That’s just a typical crazy conspiracy theory. Why would we not tell people if…
President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama, former First Lady Michelle Obama, and a slew of celebrities will participate in a Covid-19 vaccination television special to encourage as many Americans as possible to get vaccinated. The event, “Roll Up Your Sleeves,” airs Sunday on NBC. It aims to “educate viewers, raise awareness and dispel concerns…
This has been a tough year for teachers. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it so that many of them can’t teach their students in public. They’ve had to adjust teaching their students virtually and deal with disruptions caused by the pandemic. And while teachers want to go back to their classrooms, they also want to…
