There's an analogy to the COVID 19 vaccine. Like Tucker Carlson, I think**, you can focus on the small number of people harmed by the vaccine instead of the huge number of people who avoided hospitalization or death and the huge benefit to the economy.
Tucker reported on a government report. Apparently, you think a journalist shouldn't report on such things because it might confuse people. Well, it did and that's what the one episode you watched was all about, pointing out what a horrible job and a disservice the government was doing with that report. Tucker didn't make up the numbers, he questioned them. He didn't write the report and was merely asking his expert guest to explain it which he did actually contradicting Tucker to a small degree because he could see that the way Tucker presented it, could also be a bit confusing, hence the expert but maybe you missed that part.
That was the gist of the one episode you saw. If you had seen the many other episodes on Covid and vaccines as I did, you would know that he did talk about the huge number of people benefiting from the vaccine. Imagine that, a journalist telling the good and the bad and some people only hear the bad because, well, for what ever reason, that's what they want to hear. A lot of that going around these days
Or like ex-President Trump, you can do the opposite. Did Trump push the FDA to go full speed ahead on emergency approvals of vaccines, instead of dilly dallying around like they usually do to make sure they're super safe? Hell yeah he did.
Or you can do the opposite? So you are now saying that Tucker advised not to go full steam ahead and push the FDA to give emergency approval? That he didn't want the vaccine to be super safe? Maybe you could find that clip for us because I don't remember that.
Did he believe they should have stopped giving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine when one person died from a blood clot after the first 7 million doses had been given? Hell no he didn't.
It was 6 women I believe but that isn't the point. You are implying that Tucker called for J & J to stop using the vaccine? I didn't hear that either. It would be great if you could find him saying that or shall I just take your word for it after I pointed out that you had already lied about one thing Tucker did not say.
** This is my interpretation of what Carlson is doing after watching just one of his episodes on vaccines. Hedonist tells me I'm wrong.

on a government report, period. A report you seem to think should never have been reported because it was confusing. Imagine that, a government report that was confusing. That report as he admitted in another episode that you may have missed, was confusing. His whole segment was not about him telling the world not to get vaccinated because you will die, nothing could be further from the truth but for what ever the reason, that doesn't seem to be your goal, telling the truth about what he said. But for what ever reason you are going to stick to it and I can't dissuade you so there we are.
To reiterate, what I heard Tucker do was tell the most vulnerable to get vaccinated. Tell the rest of us to question what the government was telling us and make the best decision for yourself. I can't tell you how many times Carlson said "don't believe me, do the research" which separates him from virtually every single reporter on CNN and MSNBC who are only there to push what ever Biden wants pushed.
If anybody is responsible for deaths for not taking the vaccine, that would be VP Harris and every member of the Democrat party who were virtually all on record for not taking the vaccine as long as Trump, the man you just praised, had anything to do with the vaccine which was what, a year before this episode of Tucker which you seem to suggest cost people lives. There will never be an accounting of how many people died because they listened to VP Harris and the other Democrats hell bent on discouraging people to not take the vaccine because it was developed under the leadership of Trump.
You know that's true. Now all you have to do is acknowledge what you know to be true.
And on using the disinfectant, the word "bleach" was never used in the clip you provided but it was used by dozens of reporters. Reporters should never add words to a story that the person did not say. It will make any reasonable person ask if there is a bias, an agenda at play when that happens. Happened to me with you. But it did add a nice touch to the story. He did not "recommend" injecting a disinfectant. He asked if the doctors to his right if they would "look into it". A small but I believe important distinction. Again not using the exact words leads to questioning the reporter. That too I'll admit was a dumb thing to say in hindsight and if I heard the clip right, he was asking if they could find a way to get a "disinfectant" into the body. Sounds to me like a very poor choice of words from someone who is not a doctor.
And the ultra violet light, being used all over the world to disinfect spaces on airplanes and rooms of all sizes. No word yet on using it inside the body like chemo or radiation.
