    Vaccine Hesitancy Among Fox News Viewers Drops to All-Time Low Following Shift in Coverage
    https://www.mediaite.com/tv/vaccine...-low-in-new-poll-following-shift-in-coverage/

    Fox News has changed their tune on vaccination coverage in recent days and according to new polling done by the Morning Consult, it has already made a direct impact on their viewers.

    If you have noticed a shift in Fox News’ coverage of vaccination recommendations, you are not alone.

    Host Sean Hannity recently voiced his opinion on air saying, he believes “in the science of vaccination.” Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy advised his audience that the vaccine, “will save your life.” And on Friday, Fox even went as far to show a graphic that “vaccines work” alongside data in order to encourage viewers to get the jab.

    According to the Morning Consult polling numbers, it seems as though these shifts in coverage have already made a dent in the loyal Fox audience.

    Vaccine “reluctance fell to an all-time low this week among adults who watch Fox News,” wrote the polling company. The reported findings are as follows, “27 percent of viewers now say they probably or definitely won’t get vaccinated, down from 30 percent the week before and a high of 37 percent in mid-March.

    To break down those numbers further, “19% of adults said they won’t get a COVID-19 shot, while 11% said they aren’t sure if they’ll get vaccinated in the future.”

    These findings are remarkable with relation to the incredibly recent shift in coverage by the network and it is becoming more clear that effective media strategies in vaccine recommendation may have a legitimate impact on American hesitancy.

    Still, while a series of Fox News hosts have spoken out in support of Covid vaccination in recent weeks, several of its most prominent voices — including Tucker Carlson, the most-watched host on the network — have waged a campaign to undermine the vaccines that has frequently included false information.

  2. Well, Fox News can't win either way among the lefties can they? I am shocked.

    There are many factors at play. One of them is that people started to let up on getting vaccinations because Joe Biden the Cardboard Cut-Out was crowing day and night that he and he alone had stopped virus and that we were returning to normal because he is not Trump and that virus shiite just goes with Trump. So lots of people who did not want to get vaccinated or were at least hesitant thought that they could just follow the trend and probably would not need a vaccine or have to deal with that decision.

    Then it turned out that Joe had lost control of the virus and that he might need to do something more than just being Santa Claus with Trump vaccines. Refer to recent and upcoming polls of Joe Biden for more on this.

    what's different about delta according to right wing narrative? A different flavor of a democrat 'hoax'?

    had there been no serious variants... the fearful would get their shots... we would reach combo herd immunity and perhaps covid and the gwb like morons would go quiescent by the end of the next election cycle.

    Our kids would be back in school without masks... and within a year two we would be traveling all over world and no one would care about vaccine passports... unless passports are really for totalitarian reasons.

    Answer the question, what makes Delta more dangerous than good old COVID besides spreading faster? Aren't you Mr. Herd Immunity? You should be celebrating a faster spread to reach your goal.

    The average audience size of fox is about 2 million viewers a day
    New York City alone has 3 million people not vaccinated , half minority.....
    Time to climb out of your narrative

    Deep down in them...they do not want the Delta Variant to just rip (no vaccination, no face mask wear, no social distancing, no border closure) because they'll be fuck too and leading millions of Americans to their deaths.

    Regardless, the Natural Herd Immunity Covidiots lost their credibility when Anders Tegnell and the Health Public Agency of Sweden became fully vaccinated and begin advocating for the Swedish people to get vaccinated. :D
