Fox Anchor Says Vaccine Saved His Life After Battle With COVID

Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto recently came back on the air after spending quite some time in the hospital battling COVID. Cavuto talked about the death threats that he has received from viewers over his pro-vaccine stance, but he made it clear that his doctors were emphatic about the fact that if he had not been vaccinated, he would probably be dead. This message may or may not resonate with the Fox News audience, but we can hope that maybe a few holdouts will take the message to heart. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Fox news host Neil Cavuto recently returned after being hospitalized for several weeks with COVID 19. This was Cavuto's second bout with COVID and as he told it on the air this week, had he not been vaccinated, his doctor said that he likely would be dead right now. Now Cavuto of course, has underlying conditions. He is a cancer survivor. He has multiple, multiple sclerosis, excuse me, things that he made abundantly clear, including when talking about his risk factors with COVID. He said he is in that, you know, 3% of Americans that are exceptionally high risk because of his preexisting conditions. But he got vaccinated, still ended up hospitalized, but survived, recovered, is back on the air because he got vaccinated. Now, let me read you some of what Cavuto said, because I think this is just so exceptionally powerful here, here it is.

It was really touch and go. Some of you who've wanted to put me out of my misery, darn near got what you wished for. So sorry to disappoint you. Now, before I continue, he's not talking about, you know, the opposite side of the political aisle. He has talked about the fact that he has received many death threats from his own viewers for telling people to get vaccinated. Those are the people he's going after, his own audience, basically saying, haha, you wanted me dead, but I'm not. Let me be clear, doctors say, had I not been vaccinated at all, I wouldn't be here. This was scary. Because I've had cancer and right now I have multiple sclerosis, I am among the vulnerable 3% or so of the population that cannot sustain the full benefits of a vaccine. Take the political speaking points and toss them for now. I'm begging you, toss them and think of what's good not only for yourself, but for those around you. I dare say people who experience this and see loved ones who have been affected by this or have died from this are not judging the wisdom of mandates. They're wishing they got vaccinated and they didn't.

Fox news has made it clear that they hate the mandates, right? Even though they have their own vaccination mandates at their office and they had testing mandates. Their mandates, by the way, were actually far more strict than anything coming outta the federal government or even the state government. So Fox news has been very strict about what people can and cannot deal at their offices. They've been taking care of people, which everybody should. That's like the only good thing Fox news has ever done. And they still get death threats for it. Even though they attack the mandates, even though some hosts still attack the vaccines and they push these all alternative unproven treatments for COVID that now according to studies are definitely not effective. And Cavuto was one of the few people who was telling people get vaccinated because he understands not only had he already had COVID he's got these underlying symptoms.

He is high risk even while vaccinated and people wanted him to die because of that. They were sending him messages. Some that he has, by the way, read on the air in the past. They wanted him dead all because he said please get vaccinated and protect, protect yourself. Now I do not agree with Neil Cavuto obviously on most of his political viewpoints.
