Tucker Carlson conveyed a bold new stance against COVID-19 safety during his recent “Tucker Carlson Tonight” program stating that coronavirus protection measures and vaccine requirements are “medical Jim Crow.”
When discussing vaccine passports, Tucker declared that “medical Jim Crow has come to America.” The Fox News anchor also added he’s preparing to see unvaccinated people required to use “separate” water fountains.
“Is this logical? Does it make sense? Why would people who’ve had the vaccine fear being near people who haven’t had the vaccine? Aren’t the vaccinated protected? Isn’t that the whole point of getting the shot? Sure. Maybe from a health perspective that’s technically true, if you want to be precise about it,” Carlson said.
“But this clearly isn’t about health or science. It’s bigger than that. It’s about good and evil. It’s about discovering who’s a decent person, and who, by contrast, deserves to be punished for sin. It’s about finding out who has obeyed.”
The Wrap relayed information from a judge’s ruling last year stating that Carlson isn’t a credible source of facts. Adding viewers who tune into the Fox News anchor’s program should approach his show with a healthy degree of suspicion.
