I have decided that the media is more devious sometimes with “out of context and omissions,” than it is with writing actual facts, because ideology and agenda trumps the truth.

From The Washington Post guest editorial published Feb. 25 in The Maui News: “What kind of message is sent when Fox News host Tucker Carlson compares coronavirus vaccine mandates to medical experiments conducted by Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, as he did Jan. 21?”

What Carlson said: “I thought that we had a kind of a consensus on that. I mean, after watching what the Imperial Japanese Army and the Nazis did in their medical experiments, I thought that American physicians agreed that compulsory medical care was unethical, it was immoral and it could never be imposed on anyone. When did we forget that?”

To put this in context, Tucker was reporting about the courts blocking the Biden administration’s mandate that would have required a hundred million people, without their consent, to get vaccinated.

If you want to dig a little deeper, investigate the ideas that came out of the Nuremberg trials. Carlson was not comparing “experiments to mandates,” but “mandating medical experiments to mandating vaccines.”

Total U.S. COVID deaths year to date 972,008, deaths ages 0-17 (822), ages 18-29 (5,681). In the name of God, why would you force, or otherwise inject, a healthy young person? A thought, “Luke 23:34.”
