Study Suggests Sean Hannity Helped Spread Coronavirus

Watching Fox News may kill you https://politicalwire.com/2020/04/22/study-suggests-sean-hannity-helped-spread-coronavirus/

“Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, media critics have warned that the decision from leading Fox News hosts to downplay the outbreak could cost lives. A new study provides statistical evidence that, in the case of Sean Hannity, that’s exactly what happened,” Vox reports.

“At the time, Hannity’s show was downplaying or ignoring the virus, while fellow Fox host Tucker Carlson was warning viewers about the disease’s risks.”

“Using both a poll of Fox News viewers over age 55 and publicly available data on television-watching patterns, they calculate that Fox viewers who watched Hannity rather than Carlson were less likely to adhere to social distancing rules, and that areas where more people watched Hannity relative to Carlson had higher local rates of infection and death.”

I would not look at them, just knowing they're there is enough.
