The Fox News host on his show Tuesday slammed left-wing media's uncritical coverage of wuhanvirus restrictions regardless of how irrational they may be.
"All precautions against COVID are considered legitimate by the American news media no matter how self-evidentially lunatic they may be," Carlson said. "Cover your face during a Zoom call! Drive to work alone with a mask on! It’s all normal, says the New York Times."
The Fox News host noted how ridiculous it was in a recent summit of world leaders over zoom, "of the 16 heads of state who were present, only Joe Biden wore a face mask – sat there silently, nose and mouth covered in black cloth like a rustler from an old western, as mask-less Vladimir Putin held forth on international affairs."
Carlson also said in part:
According to the CDC, Americans must remain under COVID restrictions indefinitely, even those who have been fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated Americans must continue to wear masks at all times while indoors, whether they’re in church, getting a haircut, or walking into a restaurant. So, get a vaccine. Cover your face. Period.
No one is saying so, but consider the logic here, it doesn’t make any sense. We know the vaccine works. We know that anyone who wants a vaccine in this country can get one. They’ve told us those two things again and again, and most of us are willing to believe that they’re true. But if they are true, why wear masks? Anyone who’d afraid of getting COVID can get a vaccine. And then everyone else can return to normal life, including those who don’t want to get the vaccine. The people who want it can get it and they’ll be protected. And that should be the end. So why the mask fetish? What’s the answer?
No one will say. Instead, the CDC has produced a new round of guidelines that are as indecipherable as a Turkish train schedule. Next stop, Istanbul. Or is it Ankara? We still don’t know.
