With the COVID-19 virus killing more than 2000 Americans daily, the country’s Surgeon General recently noted that a vaccine is of “no use if you are dead and no use to you if you don’t get vaccinated”.

The latter point matters — some 42% of Americans are reluctant to be vaccinated despite estimates that a 70% uptake is necessary to produce herd immunity.

Irresponsibility, and outrageous even for Fox News, presenter Laura Ingraham recently interviewed a ‘retired microbiologist’, who took  to the airwaves to share his view that COVID-19 vaccines are dangerous.

“Why is that?” she asked.
