The View co-host Meghan McCain has spent the past 24 hours encountering a deluge of mocking tweets after she claimed that she hasn't heard any hosts on Fox News tell people not to get the vaccine.

Let's set the record straight. Fox News hosts have regularly advised viewers against receiving the vaccine.

For some hard numbers on that, according to the Huffington Post, who cited a Media Matters study, "Fox has undermined vaccination efforts in nearly 60% of all vaccination segments in a 2-week period."

Despite those facts, McCain chose to muddy the waters while she and her co-hosts discussed a recent Fox and Friends segment during which Fox News anchor Steve Doocy explained that, these days, the virus is killing unvaccinated people in particular.

For McCain, Doocy's pro-vaccine talk was apparently enough to absolve the many other Fox hosts who have derided the shot.

"Not everybody on Fox News is, you know, saying don't get the vaccine. I actually haven't heard anyone say that, but maybe I'm just misinformed."

The View co-host Sunny Hostin quickly explained, in detail, that McCain was indeed "misinformed."

And the criticism went far beyond the table on The View.

When McCain's comments appeared on Twitter, the internet came out flying with criticisms.







It's a good time to mention the vaccine is free as well as safe and effective, as countless medical professionals and studies have repeatedly avowed.

AOC Has Mic Drop Response To MAGA Republicans Who Try To Mock 'Democratic Priorities'

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a powerful rebuke against President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, pointing out why mocking things like affordable housing and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "Democrat priorities" ultimately hurts Republicans.

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking during a CNN town hall alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, accused Republicans of refusing to work to end the government shutdown, stressing that the country’s health care system could collapse if Republicans refuse to meet Democrats’ demands in negotiations.

GOP Rep. Blames Coordinated 'Ruse' After Swastika Image Is Seen Displayed In His Office

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse."

Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.
