No vaccine can cure getting ratio’d on Twitter.
On the morning of former Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell’s death from complications of COVID-19, Fox News anchor John Roberts boosted vaccine skepticism in a now-deleted tweet. Roberts failed to acknowledge Powell’s battle with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that impairs the body’s ability to fight infections.
Shortly after deleting his tweet, Roberts denied that he was pushing anti-vaccine rhetoric and that he was “stunned” to hear about Powell’s death from COVID-19.
Last month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that unvaccinated people are 11 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than those who are fully vaccinated.
Twitter users swiftly called out the Fox News anchor for questioning the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines as the unvaccinated make up the majority of recent deaths from the virus in the U.S.:
Delete Fox News!
Thoroughly ghastly in intent and purpose.
Fox News is entertainment for the raging red base. Anything to “own the libs” up to and including the lives of themselves and their loved ones.
John Roberts knew exactly what he was doing with that post. He deleted it due to blow back.

Again, Fox News isn’t journalism objective style unbiased news. it is entertainment seeking clicks because those equate to cash. And it is slanted exclusively for brainwashing a mass of low information idiots.
As a Canadian, my apologies for that asshole Roberts. He’s always been a performative fool. He fits right in with post Rump Faux news coverage; hard right and beyond asinine.
Getting the base killed to pwn the libs.
Seriously, if Joe Biden wins, like, Pennsylvania by a few thousand votes in 2024, I’m gonna laugh my vaccinated ass off.
