weird pivot, but ok. you do understand that this is not people making informed and free decisions, but rather blindly following some cultish narrative - so basically exactly the opposite of what you are trying to sell this as...
of course they are making a misinformed decision, lol. but it is nonetheless a free decision. nobody forces them to forgo the vaccine, nobody forces them to listed to these demagogues and idiots.
covid deaths of this type, as tragic as they are, are the result of people making their own, free decision. if people prefer to listen to dunces and false prophets, grifters and religious delusion, then so be it.
also, it's not like Fox is still on board of the hardcore antivaxxer train. since delta has hit, the fox hosts have been telling people to get the vaccines and largely stopped the antivaxx messaging.
if it makes you happy to hear me spell it out loud: yes, Fox and friends of course l bear significant responsibility for having amplified and legitimized antivaxxer sentiment early in spite of knowing better.
