Fox News Keeps Sowing Doubt About Vaccines

Philip Bump noticed that Sean Hannity’s limited vaccine endorsement earlier this week was but “a small drop in Fox News’s ocean of doubt.”

“Despite Hannity’s thumbs up, that remained the default position of the network on Monday night. Those who watched from 8 p.m. until 11 p.m. would have been left with little question about the message they were meant to take away: Maybe the vaccines do some good, but you should question how effective they are and you should think that government experts are lying to you about them. An endorsement drowned under a deluge of howevers is not an endorsement at all.”
