A good example of how Fox misinforms their viewers.
The headline on the front page. 2022.01.05 7:35 ET
Here's the article headline which isn't as damning as the front page headline.
Here are "the numbers" they give.
"There is no excuse — no excuse for anyone being unvaccinated," Biden said during remarks from the White House following a briefing from his COVID-19 response team. "This continues to be a pandemic of the unvaccinated. So we got to make more progress."
But those who have been vaccinated are still getting sick.
The U.S. recorded its record number of COVID-19 cases for a single day on Monday, almost doubling the previous record of about 590,000 set just four days earlier. This, despite 73% of the U.S. population being at least partially vaccinated and 62% fully vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
Whats missing? Death and hospitalization rates which are much higher for unvaccinated.
They could have included something like....
"Omicron appears to be less deadly but we don't know for sure and with past variants, hospitalization and death rates for unvaccinated have been several times higher than for the vaccinated."
from a study found here link below:
Fox takes an article that could have been on any other major media outlet, leaves the death and hospitalization data out, put a scary headline and boom,... a piece that will leave their viewers thinking there is not reason to get vaccinated and that Biden in lying.
How can they call themselves news.
