Yesterday, news broke that public health experts doubt we will achieve herd immunity from COVID-19 here in the United States.

That means this pandemic may never really end.

And much of the blame for that falls squarely on “conservative” media “personalities” like Tucker Carlson of Fox “News” — whose adherents, by the tens of millions, are hesitating or even refusing to get vaccinated.

But Tucker Carlson and his ilk aren’t just risking the lives of their own followers.

They are putting all of us at risk. And they are holding any hope we have of returning to normal hostage.

Why?

Rich, spiteful ghouls like Tucker Carlson want to turn everything into a battle in the “culture war” they’ve fabricated as a desperate ploy to turn back demographic changes in America that threaten the dominion of wealthy white men like themselves.

Tell Tucker Carlson:

Stop risking people’s lives. Stop holding our hope of ending this pandemic hostage in your “culture war.” Encourage your followers to get vaccinated — for the sake of themselves, for the sake of our nation.

Add your name.

Thanks for taking action.

Stay safe.
