Meghan McCain Mocked For Claiming She Hasnt Seen Anti-Vaxx Stories On Fox

Apparently, Meghan McCain doesn’t watch Fox News that much. The co-host of “The View” claimed Monday that she has never seen the network discourage people from getting a COVID-19 vaccine ― something its hosts and guests do regularly.

McCain offered the dubious viewpoint when a panel on her show was discussing a “Fox & Friends” segment in which Steve Doocy pointed out that COVID-19 is mostly killing unvaccinated people and Brian Kilmeade countered by saying, â€œThat’s their choice.”

“Not everybody on Fox News is, you know, saying don’t get the vaccine,” McCain said. “I actually haven’t heard anyone say that, but maybe I’m just misinformed.”

Sunny Hostin brought up a new Media Matters study suggesting 60% of Fox News segments on the vaccine undermined immunization efforts. 

Twitter users quickly sprang into action.

When you're so misinformed you don't know what's going on but not totally misinformed that you haven't ruled out the possibility that you're misinformed https://t.co/wuFQmm2rmJ

Others brought up some helpful context regarding McCain and her relationship to Fox News.

I suspect john McCain’s daughter may have a horse in this race, after all, her husband works at Fox News. https://t.co/5kKVke5g4S

Fox News contributor Ben Domenech, the husband of Meghan McCain, claims vaccine misinformation on social media isn't “killing a single person in America”:

“Anyone who makes the case that this is actually killing people is lying to you.”https://t.co/uGSdjKrCrE
