JIMMY KIMMEL (HOST): So, one of the reasons people are so misinformed about the vaccine, and a lot of other things, is Fox News.

According to a new report from Media Matters — they went through and added it up — Fox News has undermined the COVID vaccine nearly every day for the last six months. The two days they didn’t undermine it, were the days they took off to go get the vaccine.

But they scoff at the vaccine, they’re always making fun of people wearing masks. Which is especially nuts because everyone, if you go around the Fox News building, you would see that pretty much everybody is wearing a mask. They — it is a heavily masked staff.
