![]() ![]() Who cares if the vaccine programme only works if everyone who needs it receives it? Who cares if prison workers won’t be safe if the prisoners they guard aren’t vaccinated? Who cares, in fact, that prisons are particularly prone to outbreaks of the virus with deadly results? The Sun wants you to rage that one despicable man was included in a mass vaccination effort. Much better to give McLean’s ranting and bloodlust the headline. If I had, where do we stop? Do we say, ‘Okay, you smoke, I’m not going to treat you for lung cancer because you don’t deserve it, you brought it on yourself’? We can’t be in a world like that.īut Dr Jarvis is too rational for The Sun. A long time ago, but did I dream of not treating them? No. The child was in one emergency room and I was in the other. I’ve treated someone who had just killed a child while drunk without a licence. Of course, McLean’s comments were then fed back into The Sun’s outrage machine and the view of Dr Sarah Jarvis, an actual expert, on the same show was dropped in down page and given far less attention. I think I would like to see him die a slow, painful death. ![]() I just think the crime against kids, I’m sorry, I don’t care if he dies of Covid. I just think it’s absolutely ridiculous we’re giving a paedophile an injection before prison guards and key workers. I’d give a lethal injection before I’d give him a Covid vaccine. On Vine’s programme yesterday, Nicola McLean, the model and TV personality, opined: It’s too slick.” While his ultimate boss was benefiting from the vaccine, Carlson was deliberately causing doubt among other old people who need it just as much.Īnd once The Sun stokes the outrage, it is pushed out to other parts of the tabloid industrial complex - the other papers ( The Daily Mail jumped on the story instantly ), smaller websites, talk radio stations (some of them also owned by Murdoch) and daytime TV like Channel 5’s Jeremy Vine Show. ![]() He warned them, with the doomy dramatic tone that Fox News uses to paper over the gaps where facts would be, that “it feels false because it is. … across the Atlantic, one of his rancid talking heads, Tucker Carlson, was telling Fox News viewers to worry about ‘bad vaccine reactions’ and to respond ‘nervously’ to the vaccine rollout ‘marketing campaign’. I strongly encourage people around the world to get the vaccine as it becomes available. I would like to thank the keyworkers and the staff who have worked so hard throughout the pandemic, and the amazing scientists who have made this vaccine possible. While Murdoch was releasing this face-saving statement… It is gaslighting from a master of gaslighting, a man who bought his gaslights in such bulk that he has built his own gaslight factories. We are meant to imagine that Rupert Murdoch rocking up at a vaccine centre - regardless of his convoy of Range Rovers bringing him from his £12 million pound estate - is treated just the same as any old geezer getting the jab. We’re meant to ignore the way that Murdoch, whose papers, TV networks, and radio stations have banged the drum for tighter borders and less freedom of movement for people he disdains, can slip between Australia, the United States, and the UK with such ease its as if his leathery bulk is fully buttered. In December, Murdoch, born Australian but now an American citizen, got himself the Covid-19 vaccine thanks to one of his many ‘second’ homes in the UK. ![]()
