Rupert Murdoch got the vaccine.
Media baron Rupert Murdoch received a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine this week, a day before prominent opinion host Fox News’s Tucker Carlson raised suspicion over the marketing strategy for the vaccine.
The 89-year-old executive chairman of Wall Street Journal owner News Corp and chairman of Fox News’s Fox Corp received the vaccine at his local doctor’s office in Britain on Wednesday after being told he was eligible, a spokeswoman confirmed on Friday.
There are frontline workers and healthcare workers who haven’t had it yet, but he was eligible.
On Thursday evening, Carlson, host of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” one of the highest rated shows on U.S. cable news, opened his show highlighting the case of a health worker in Alaska who suffered an adverse reaction to the vaccine and warned viewers to be skeptical of the “glitzy” public campaign.
In other words Murdoch’s poisonous network is making ever effort to make the pandemic worse, while Murdoch gets one of the first scarce jabs.

The first hing that came to mind when I read this? Brando/Kurtz’s line from Apocalypse Now about the “pile of little arms…”
Make of that what you will.
From denialsm to opportunism in the usual less-than-merry Murdochian dance. Call it perhaps the Murdoch two-step.
Isn’t Murdoch one of the undead? He should only fear crosses and holy water.
Fucking Tucker Carlson. There have been SIX adverse reactions with 250,000 injections.
And apparently they go away when diphenhydramine is given.
