Does this qualify as hypocrisy? If you don't think so, and you're going to make a logical argument, I'd love to hear it...
The guy "reporting" works for a media network that has a vaccine mandate, and as far as I can tell no "religious"
exemption that makes you exempt from the alternative testing program. Unvaccinated workers at Fox. who basically pose a threat to their co-workers are required to be tested daily. So this reporter is either vaccinated or tested DAILY...
Now he is reporting on the (implied) unjustified NYC vaccine mandate for health care workers. He is talking to an unvaccinated x-ray technician who has applied for a "religious" exemption. Does that mean the guy never was vaccinated for smallpox? Hmm...
The NYC mandate allows for WEEKLY testing, and the requirement as of today (Sept 27 deadline) is that you have had the FIRST dose. Again this is not for a media company, where the basic risk is to your co-workers, but rather a medical services provider who is a threat to both co-workers and patients.
The anchor never reveals he is vaccinated or that his company requires it, and most Fox viewers likely are unaware. But they are definitely being shown the plight of the poor discriminated against healthcare worker, who presumable works in a medical facility but can't be bothered to undergo either a simple shot or even WEEKLY testing, to insure he isn't a danger to innocent patients?
Most of the Fox hosts/reporters are as phony as a $3 bill. They take the side of the anti-vaxers, but the vast majority are vaccinated themselves, & have been from their first opportunity. They aren't as insane as they pretend to be, not on this issue anyway.
On Trump, same deal. Most of the Fox hosts & reporters can't stand the blowhard, but if they want to continue to keep their jobs & pull in big $$$, they pretend otherwise.
*********** Btw, when I was younger & healthier (& greener) than now, I too was one of these people who rarely got or ever worried about getting vaccinated for anything, EXCEPT when my doctor said I needed to. When he said you need to get a vaccination, I did as he recommended & got vaccinated.
I was young & stupid, but not stupid enough to go against my doctor or any reputable medical professional advising me.
For those claiming to be 'fiscally responsible', American tax payers could end up saving billions of tax dollars, on fewer Covid tests, Covid medical treatment, supplies, lost sick/hospital days, & related Covid expenses, if all those who've been recommended to get vaccinated, get vaccinated,
'If you won't do it for your friends, coworkers or neighbors, do it for your wallet'
The people who refuse to get vaccinated, are driving up the Covid costs for everyone, not just themselves.
Btw, continued Covid testing is basically useless, unless we're going to hold to account, those unvaccinated/spreaders, who refuse to get vaccinated.
More $$$ for penalizing the unvaccinated, & less $$ for testing.
To assume an American hasn't been exposed to Covid by now, is insane. Some handle Covid better than others, but ALL should be vaccinated. My Covid test came up negative, though weeks earlier it nearly killed me twice in four days. I SHOULD have been given the Covid antibody test instead.
