Fox News contributor Jonah Goldberg called out the network’s prime-time personality Laura Ingraham for “fearmongering” over COVID-19 vaccines.
Goldberg, in a column for the Los Angeles Times this week, said vaccine skepticism and hysteria from conservatives over President Joe Biden’s door-to-door vaccination drive was “bewildering.”
“When Donald Trump was president, Operation Warp Speed was an own-the-libs triumph,” he wrote, referencing the Trump White House program to accelerate the development and production of shots to mitigate the coronavirus pandemic.
Goldberg, editor-in-chief for The Dispatch, recalled Ingraham on her show in November saying “the stunning success of President Trump’s Operation Warp Speed caught team apocalypse totally off guard. Don’t you love it?”
But “now she and many other right-wing media figures are engaged in fearmongering over the alleged dangers of vaccines we wouldn’t have, were it not for Trump,” Goldberg added.
