This is an exciting day with Leftist Heroes being called out for their clay feet.
I previously wrote about the meltdown of the left over Dr. Anthony Fauci’s comments. Fauci said that the CDC altered the guidelines in order to decrease the amount of time needed to isolate patients after they have tested positive for COVID. It did this to make it easier to bring more people back into work.
This caused him to be criticized by many leftists for his economic decisions rather than public health ones. He and his administration, they claimed, were giving in to the CEOs of companies and putting workers at risk. But it made them question what he’s been saying. Even Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), questioned him.
.@CDCgovIt is being said that “we need to get people back into work faster even if it means they remain sick.” This is based on science and public health. Oder is it a response to Delta, whose request for shorter time frames was granted?
This is because Omicron cases are increasing. https://t.co/inCPt7MbNk https://t.co/UKtsr46gh8

But Fauci wasn’t the only one facing criticism today. Rachel Maddow is the other one being criticized. However, it wasn’t for anything that she said recently; it was for comments that she made back in March that people were now calling into question.
Maddow and MSNBC were asked to apologize for the March 29 video in which Maddow claimed that vaccination would prevent infection and stop transmission.
Let’s go back in time to 3/29/21
“No we know that the vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every vaccinated person… The virus does not infect them…It cannot use a vaccinated person as a host to get more people.” pic.twitter.com/kwsDIPYl2E

Maddow said, “Now we know that the vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every vaccinated person.”
“A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus, the virus does not infect them, the virus cannot then use that person to go anywhere else,” she continued. “It cannot use a vaccinated person as a host to go get more people.” Maddow stated that vaccines “would get us to the end of this,” meaning the end of the pandemic.
This statement is false. Although transmission of the virus is less likely than it used to be, people who have been vaccinated can still contract the disease and spread the virus.
Many people wondered why Maddow’s video wasn’t taken down and why Twitter hadn’t charged her with misinformation spreading. People pointed out while many other people in media without Maddow’s profile are put under a censorship gun, particularly if they are on the right, Maddow seemed to be able to skate with such outrageously wrong information, long after it was clear that this information was untrue.
Fox News
“It’s wild how there are no consequences for all these vaccine lies,” sports journalist Clay Travis tweeted. “If you wonder why many are skeptical of the covid ‘vaccine’ it’s because they remember what they were told about how effective the vaccine was. All that Rachel Maddow says here is untrue.” “Will she retract her statement and apologize?” Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy asked.
While Maddow has never been punished for it being misinformation, as far as we can tell, the man who shared it — Lincoln Network co-founder and president Aaron Ginn — got suspended for 12 hours after he posted about the tweet. Although Maddow’s fake news may be suspension-worthy for her actions, the fake news she has spread is not.
Of course, Maddow and MSNBC are havens of misinformation — it’s not as though this is the only piece. It does however show that there is a difference in standards between the left-leaning and right when it comes down to such issues and that liberal media rarely calls out theirs.
