OF COURSE Fox News Has a Mandatory Vaccine Policy

Screenshot: Fox News

Last month on Fox News, obviously vaccinated country club rich kid Tucker Carlson went off on vaccine mandates. “American citizens should never be forced to take medicine they don’t want, period,” he ranted and raved. “Governments should never require people to submit to any medical procedure, whether that procedure is sterilization, or frontal lobotomies or COVID vaccine.” 

Well guessssss what. Tucker Carlson’s workplace now has a mandatory vaccination policy, and it went into effect Tuesday at 5 p.m. Eastern time.

The above memo to Fox employees has been confirmed as legitimate by CNN. The memo is written by Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott, and all of the bold fonts below were in the memo.

“We have asked all employees — whether on site as part of our essential workforce or working remotely — to upload their vaccination status into Workday. This is being done for space planning and contact tracing purposes in conjunction with CDC/state/city health and safety guidelines. All employees must enter their status no later than today, August 17th, by close of business.”

The reporting of vaccination status is mandatory, not the injection of the vaccine itself. But that is still a vaccine-related mandate, and it’s the exact same policy the San Francisco has required of all city employees.
