Far-right Fox News host Laura Ingraham has been a top promoter of disinformation regarding the pandemic that's killed over 600 thousand Americans and railed against any and all efforts to slow its spread.
Ingraham has falsely claimed that restaurants don't contribute to the spread of the virus and that there's "no real scientific basis" social distancing works. She was one of the first people in conservative media to recommend ivermectin, often used as dewormer for horses and sheep, as a treatment, despite CDC warnings against this.
The Fox News host is also one of the most vocal critics of lifesaving vaccines, which are proven to be safe and effective. Ingraham calls them "experimental" and has painted any federal vaccination efforts to totalitarian takeover.
And on Saturday, Ingraham shared an outdated study suggesting that mask mandates in schools are ineffective at slowing the spread.
CDC study: School mask mandates don't workhttps://www.wnd.com/2021/08/cdc-study-school-mask-mandates-dont-work/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=PostTopSharingButtons&utm_campaign=websitesharingbuttons\u00a0\u2026— Laura Ingraham (@Laura Ingraham) 1630208043
The study was conducted before the emergence of the Delta Variant, which has led to unprecedented pediatric cases of the virus and untold numbers of outbreaks in schools.
Ingraham's own brother—Curtis Ingraham, a frequent critic of hers—called the disinformation peddler out for her constant condemnation of masks and other effective safety measures.
Laura, stop spreading bogus information only to rile your followers and bolster your ratings. Your actions are dangerous, disturbing and despicable! @IngrahamAnglehttps://twitter.com/ingrahamangle/status/1431822429823791108\u00a0\u2026— Curtis Ingraham (@Curtis Ingraham) 1630332062
People praised him for calling his sister out.
Thank you for your tweets, we appreciate them.— Victoria (@Victoria) 1630333665
Amen!— Peter Olson (@Peter Olson) 1630333230
Thank you for speaking up, Curtis.— Mike Murphy (@Mike Murphy) 1630332298
Sad for you. Be proud you have more intelligence and integrity than your sister. Thank you for speaking the TRUTH.— Joyce Brugnols (@Joyce Brugnols) 1630332908
I love when Laura Ingraham\u2019s brother speaks the truth about her. Imagine having her as your sister.https://twitter.com/curtisingraham1/status/1432342601051508738\u00a0\u2026— Samsara hates the GQP (@Samsara hates the GQP) 1630338548
Listen to your brother, Laura.\nHis @IngrahamAngle is way better than yours. #FauxNewshttps://twitter.com/CurtisIngraham1/status/1432342601051508738\u00a0\u2026— Gerald Hampton (@Gerald Hampton) 1630332875
Others raised questions about the study.
So wait they studied 90,000 kids in 3 weeks and one of those weeks was thanksgiving week\u2026..hum\u2026\u2026— Michael Mummery (@Michael Mummery) 1630333105
This study doesn't take into account the Delta strain, which has been proven to affect children more than previous strains.— Bryce Daniels (@Bryce Daniels) 1630332876
Study was this past November, data showed the original strain wasnt as easily passed to children. So of course it wouldn't show much difference. Delta is very transmissable to children.— Shane in NW Arkansas (@Shane in NW Arkansas) 1630209955
The study was 3 weeks long and showed a 21% drop in schools wearing masks. It may not be \u201cstatistically significant\u201d, but I\u2019d say it\u2019s pretty significant for such a short study.— BringOn2021 (@BringOn2021) 1630209825
Ingraham has yet to respond.
