Prof. Timothy Caulfield, late of the Trudeau Foundation, claims to fact-check Tucker, but the facts support Tucker, leaving Caulfield with only his anger. (1,500 words, 8 minutes)
Vaccines DO work, vaccines ARE as effective as advertised, and vaccines DO stop transmission. Tucker Carlson has knowingly lied outright about that fact for years, in order to prey on gullible conspiracy theorists. A million people died as a consequence of lies from people like Tucker.
Like so many academics, I'm guessing he lives in an environment without serious dissent, so anyone outside that world must be irrational/hateful, whatever.
Yes, that is a decent proposition. You pull apart his claims with ease, so he clearly doesn't do a good job of formulating his arguments. As a graduate of McGill I never expected to become so disappointed in academia, my opinion of the sector is in steady decline.
Tucker Carlson is very obviously telling the truth about Woke. But he is also very obviously a lying grifter who spreads deranged tinfoil conspiracy theories in order to prey on his audience.
I'm not sure how you came to conclusion that I am a bad faith actor, when I never mentioned Tucker Carlson once, and did not defend Carlson or his commentary. But thanks for playing.
Tim Caulfield is right about points 2 and 3.
Vaccines DO work, vaccines ARE as effective as advertised, and vaccines DO stop transmission. Tucker Carlson has knowingly lied outright about that fact for years, in order to prey on gullible conspiracy theorists. A million people died as a consequence of lies from people like Tucker.
Excellent analysis. I can't tell if Caulfield is just obtuse, or a bad faith actor.

Caulfield is a bad faith actor, and so are you.

Not sure that anybody in these debates is a bad faith actor. Most believe quite sincerely, even fervently, what they say.
