Did Hell Freeze Over? Hannity Tells Viewers He Believes In Vaccines

By Susie Madrak — July 20, 2021

Maybe Rupert Murdoch finally did the math. It might have occurred to him that killing off Fox's key demographic wasn't a sound business strategy.

Here was Sean Hannity last night, pleading with viewers.

"Please take Covid seriously. I can't say it enough," he said.

"Enough people have died. We don't need any more death. Research like crazy. Talk to your doctor. It absolutely makes sense for many Americans to get vaccinated. I believe in science, I believe in the science of vaccinations."

Considering that the segment before this criticized a university for mandating vaccines, and the one after this one was about a woman who lost feeling in her legs after getting a different vaccine in 2019, hard to say whether this was just a fig leaf. By all means, continue to blame Fox for the unvaccinated hordes dying in this latest delta variant wave.

Before this clip, Hannity criticized a university for mandating vaccines.

After this clip, Hannity interviewed a young woman who lost feeling in her legs for a month in 2019 after getting a different type of vaccine. https://t.co/cczyquYJm8

If this is a real policy change at Fox, we'll start to see even Tucker Carlson back off, albeit very slowly. But I wouldn't hold my breath.

On his radio show, Hannity said almost same thing except he added 2 things: 1) He urged listeners to do their own research about vaccines risks; 2) he said vaccines weren’t as essential because hydroxychloroquine is effective.

His radio audience is 4x size of his fox audience. https://t.co/4siZbnZIUu

This is unbelievable

Fox News has a strict vaccine passport rule to enter the building. So Tucker, Hannity, Ingraham have all been fully vaccinated while telling their viewers not to get the shot. Hypocrisy at it's worsthttps://t.co/nlt4ShPWoc
