Fox News host Tucker Carlson is never afraid to speak his mind or challenge the status quo, two attributes that never failed to make the left angry. Now, liberals are angry at the Fox host for having the audacity to question the recent Coronavirus vaccine. While the host is widely accepting of the vaccine itself Carlson questioned the PR campaign surround the vaccine’s distribution. Carlson compared the rollout of the vaccine to the “kind of corporate image campaign you typically associate with high-end consumer products.”
The Fox host singled out a healthcare worker in Alaska who received the vaccine and suffered from an intense allergic reaction.
Townhall reports:
“She had to spend the night in the emergency room, but according to the doctor who treated her, she was ‘still enthusiastic that she got the vaccine and the benefits it would give her in the future,’” Carlson said.
“How are the rest of us supposed to respond to a marketing campaign like this? Well, nervously,” he continued. “Better to treat Americans like adults, explain the benefits, be honest about the risks, and let the rest of us decide.”
Carlson believes Americans should be given the opportunity to decide for themselves to take the vaccine. However, the Fox host says that Big Tech is already doing its best to stifle any dissent related to the vaccine.

Twitter has announced a new policy to censor any unauthorized inquiry about the vaccine or, as the company put it, “false or misleading narratives about COVID-19 vaccinations.” Among other things, Twitter is censoring any claim that this vaccine might be used to “control populations.”
n addition, Facebook has now decided it must “build demand for vaccination in communities worldwide” by sharing “reassuring information” about getting the vaccine. Mark Zuckerberg was a tech tycoon. Now he’s a professional marketer who gets to control the conversation about the product he’s selling. Facebook has announced it will squelch “any misinformation” it sees about this vaccine.
Carlson said censorship surrounding the vaccine will have the exact opposite effect than intended and actually deter people from taking the drug, instead the focus should be on building “social trust” in the vaccine.
