Tucker is using dubious data from VAERS, an unverified database for "vaccine incident reports" that anyone can submit to, to claim the COVID-19 vaccine campaign is the deadliest vaccination campaign in US history.
VAERS has this disclaimer on its website, which Tucker pretty much ignored
Multiple reputable outlets have released fact checks explaining the failures of the VAERS database, including the claim Tucker is making

politifact.com/article/2021/m…
A longer cut from the segment, in which Tucker repeats claims that "30 people a day" are dying from the COVID vaccine without specifically clarifying that VAERS statistics rely on self reporting with no verifiaction and are not considered accurate data.

THREAD: Tucker Carlson is once again pushing the debunked conspiracy that COVID-19 was genetically engineered in a lab, and airing claims that the pandemic was intentionally released by China, using a dubiously souced "study" linked to Steve Bannon.
On September 14th, Li-Meng Yan, a researcher who fled Hong Kong, posted a paper claiming that she and other researchers had found a way to recreate SARS-CoV-2 in a lab. The paper drew the interest of conservative media and Tucker Carlson. zenodo.org/record/4028830…
During the segment Yan claimed that the virus was intentinally created in a lab by the Chinese and is not a naturally occuring virus. Despite ever increasing evidence that this claim is false, Tucker did not raise objections or make an attempt to push back on the claim

After giving the McCloskey’s the RNC celebrity treatment they basically have no choice.
Right wing media has been hyping the possibility of “patriots” taking up arms and “defending themselves“ against protestors for weeks now, it was only a matter of time before people died and you can bet your ass they’ll blame everyone but the shooter.
Clockwork. ImageImageImageImage
