Among the millions who watch the network each day, 27 per cent told pollsters from Morning Consult they “probably or definitely won’t get vaccinated,” down from a high of 37 per cent in Match. Though many of its most high-profile hosts like Tucker Carlson and Jeanine Pirro continue to promote scepticism or outright lies about the vaccine, the network has tried to convince people to get vaccinated, a difficult task when the pandemic has been politicised and many right-wing leaders have railed against life-saving public health measures as violations of freedom. Bret Baier, the chief political anchor of Fox News, has posted about how he was “grateful” for the vaccine on social media, while the network even hosted a special primetime event aimed at debunking conspiracies about the jab. Tucker Carlson, the highest rated Fox News host, who has not publicly disclosed whether he has been vaccinated, said the Biden administration wants to "force people to take medicine they don’t want or need,” and called a door-to-door vaccination drive “the greatest scandal in my lifetime, by far.” Jeanine Pirro, meanwhile, said the effort was secretly “about confiscating your gun.” A Media Matters analysis of the network’s coverage regarding the vaccine found that between 28 June and 11 July, the network aired 129 segments about the shot.
