Tucker Carlson lies about “significant risks” associated with the COVID vaccine and encourages lawsuits and criminal charges Written by Media Matters Staff Published 04/11/22 8:30 PM EDT Video file Citation From the April 11, 2022, edition of Fox News's Tucker Carlson Tonight TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Looking back it all seems like a bad dream. COVID panic has now ended. The virus no longer counts as a public health crisis in this or any other country. It's clear in retrospect that government lock downs, whatever their motives, in the end hurt far more people than COVID itself did. The much touted vaccines meanwhile provided nowhere near the production the drug companies promised and at the same time came with significant risks that even now have not been openly discussed. At this point, knowing all this as everybody does, countries are lifting their coronavirus restrictions. Next will come the apologies and in free countries at least lawsuits and criminal charges against people who did this.
