Republicans In Disarray As Doocy And Kilmeade Fight Over Vaccines

By Frances Langum — August 5, 2021

Everyone at Fox HQ is vaccinated. Remember that.

On Thursday's Fox and Friends, Steve Doocy took the side of "hey, vaccinated people are not being hospitalized, so maybe we should encourage the vaccine because WE HAVE GOTTEN IT" and Brian "Waiting for Mensa's Phonecall, Any Day Now" Kilmeade literally said, "I don't think anchors should be recommending medical advice."

Brian honey? You should RUN, not walk, down the hall to the Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson shows.

Twitter had opinions:

Brian @kilmeade: (Interrupts co-host saying people should get vaccinated) I don't think anchors should be giving medical advice.

ALSO Brian Kilmeade: I’m not really sure why Dr. Fauci is skeptical of hydroxychloroquine’s efficacy.

“Aw shucks, it turns out we may have been wrong the whole time.”

“Oh well.”

I can’t describe what I want to do to people like that on Twitter without risking my account being suspended.

Weird, doctors HAVE BEEN recommending the vaccine. The media reports what doctors say.

Kilmeade is living up to the "Kil" portion of his name.

How is there NOT a CLASS action lawsuit of fox viewers who had a family member get very sick or die?

So, @kilmeade can openly push bullshit panaceas like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, but he immediately interrupts Doocy for suggesting people get vaccinated because that’s “not the place of a news anchor” to suggest?

Shameful — but, pretty on brand for Fox. https://t.co/WO3heaCs6D
