TUCKER NOT MAD AT VACCINATED NEW YORK GOVERNOR, TUCKER LAUGHING AT HER!

Fox News host Tucker Carlson was simply delirious with joy at learning that New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul was diagnosed with COVID-19 on Sunday, because it proves no one needs to be vaccinated or something. Hochul wrote on Twitter, “Thankfully, I’m vaccinated and boosted, and I’m asymptomatic. I’ll be isolating and working remotely this week.”

Tucker found it simply hilarious that, after saying she was vaxxed and boosted, Hochul called on all New Yorkers to get vaccinated and boosted, because what the hell good would that do? Like, apart from the vaccines’ proven effectiveness at preventing serious illness and death.

Also too, Carlson left out the part about her being asymptomatic, which is kind of a big deal, and the point of why the vaccines are extremely effective even against a quickly changing virus.

Here’s the video of Carlson being extremely weird about all of this, via Media Matters:

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has never actually been elected to the office she holds, but she has tested positive for COVID-19! Recently, right now, you know what that means. It means the vaccine works perfectly!

Again, it means the vaccine helped keep Hochul from developing serious illness, being hospitalized, or dying.

Next, Carlson read only part of Hochul’s statement, leaving out the bit about being asymptomatic.

Here’s the statement she released: “Thankfully I am vaccinated and boosted. Reminder to all New Yorkers, get vaccinated and boosted.”

This was followed by a burst of insane Tucker Carlson laughter, which is a deeply disturbing phenomenon. But he had to cackle like that, because Kathy Hochul is completely out of her mind to believe the vaccine had anything to do with her continued good health. Maybe she accidentally brushed against a horse and got protected by dewormer, you ever think of that?

That’s right, maybe she got secondhand horse pasted, and that is why she is fine.

He was disgusted, he said:

She is just reading the catechism! If that sounds like a religious ritual, well, because to Kathy Hochul the vaccine is a religion. Here she was in September.

Carlson cut to a clip of Hochul telling people that vaccines are effective, and suggesting that the Christian thing to do, to show you love others, is to get vaccinated and to urge them to do so as well, for the good of all. As if that had anything to do with the real Gospel of Jesus Christ, who wants you to keep America safe from Mexicans and to fire all the gay teachers.

“Now she’s got the ‘rona!” Carlson scoffed. “Looks like her stupid little cult religion didn’t work. Time to pick a better god!”

Possibly that god should be orange and irrational.

Carlson then went on to point out that the White House is warning of a new COVID surge this fall, which he seems to think is a sneaky election year plot, because who doesn’t love a surge of deadly infections? Kidding! He’s afraid people might vote by mail, which is automatically cheating because it just is.

Then Tucker chatted with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, an “infect everyone” COVID numpty from way back, who said it was very irresponsible of the White House to “warn that this is impending doom again,” which of course the White House never said, and who said that America simply cannot go back to lockdowns, which is also not being considered.

Ultimately, the two agreed that the virus will just be around forever, so why bother even getting vaccinated, everything’s fine, and God will sort through the bodies and send some of them to heaven, the end.
