Dude, Read it again. Yeah, you can say that. He did say no one knows. But he's being disingenuous:

That's not only disingenuous, it's a lie and surely you know that! But, but, but, isn't going to cut it. You misquoted and misinformed and I'm left wondering why?
He correctly quoted a government statistic and asked a question. Then he presented an expert in the field that set the record straight if one had misinterpreted what Tucker said, as you obviously did.
And you completely over look the FACT, that Tucker on several occasions, I dare say every time he has ever broached this subject, said that vaccines have proven effective in the past and that he is not, I say again, is not recommending that you not get vaccinated. I've heard him say it a hundred times but as I stated, the "problem" with Tucker, is that you have to watch him for awhile to understand his "delivery" with sarcasm.
(Tiny's editorial comment: the actual number IS much higher. Carlson doesn't need to speculate. Hundreds of thousands of people have already died after getting the vaccine. Eventually all of them will die.)
Talk about being disingenuous. What you did was put your editorial words in Tuckers mouth. He didn't say that, you did. So in the end, you are accusing Tucker of what you just did.
Like I said, that's exactly what I expect from MSNBC. I didn't expect it of you.
In the end, as usual, Tucker is merely asking intelligent people to ask questions. We do not know how many people if any, have died as a direct result of Covid but we have a government agency putting out numbers that can be misinterpreted and Tucker put on a qualified guest to dispute that argument.
He's an acquired taste to be sure and I wish he would play it straight but that isn't his "schtick" but saying he said something that he didn't say, is a lie, plain and simple.
Who are you going to trust? The CDC or Tucker Carlson? On matters of health, I'll favor the CDC.
I don't "trust" anybody and there is certainly a case to be made for not trusting the CDC after all the misinformation they have put out. About 3 million people watch Tucker, give or take. How many people would you guess are questioning whether to get the vaccine or not? A helluva lot more than 3 million. Why? What are they basing their decision on to wait or not get vaccinated at all? They aren't all misinterpreting Tucker. I watch the guy and I got my vaccine because I weighed the pro's and con's. Trust the CDC? You mean the people that put us behind the 8 ball by fucking up the initial test kits that possible cost more lives than anything Tucker Carlson has ever said? The people who told us in the early days not to wear a mask? He has never, not once told his viewers not to take the vaccine or not to wear a mask. If you can prove other wise, please do.
Anybody with a brain that watches Tucker and apparently there are plenty of those that don't possess a brain, can see what he is trying to do. He is trying to get you to question everything! And that is what sensible, intelligent people do. If you want to follow the CDC like sheep, not questioning what they are telling you, that too is your right. I wouldn't have thought before this I'd hear you say "I'll follow the CDC".
