Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed that the CDC was considering a plan to mandate coronavirus vaccinations for schoolchildren. “This is an all new level of dangerous misinformation,” says former top health official.

But the claim was wrong: The CDC cannot mandate that schoolchildren receive vaccines, a decision left up to states and jurisdictions, the agency and multiple public health officials said. Theby Nicole Saphier, a radiologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, also misconstrued a planned meeting of CDC advisers, who voted Wednesday to add coronavirus vaccines to the federal Vaccines for Children , a safety-net program that offers the shots at no cost.

“This is an all new level of dangerous misinformation,” Jerome M. Adams, who served as U.S. surgeon general during the Trump administration and as Indiana’s top health official, wrote in a text message to The Washington Post. “It could both harm kids and endanger health officials . We need to be able to have honest conversations about pros and cons of vaccinating children, without resorting to blatant misinformation.

The episode also illustrates how health-care misinformation can rapidly take hold, particularly around the coronavirus vaccine and fueled by many Americans’ frustrations and confusion with pandemic policies. But public health experts often feel stymied in their response, uncertain when to engage with false claims spreading virally. And when officials do weigh in, they are often constrained by their more deliberate, sometimes bureaucratic processes.

“Thanks to @GovRonDeSantis, COVID mandates are NOT allowed in FL, NOT pushed into schools, & I continue to recommend against them for healthy kids,” Joseph Ladapo, Florida’s surgeon general,

Let’s start calling things what they really are. TuckerCarlson is intentionally lying, it’s not misinformation.

Far from a lie. Here’s how it works people. CDC makes “recommendations” to add vaccines to the schedule. The states use the CDC schedule as requirement to enter school. Therefore, the CDC KNOWS when they make this recommendation it will turn into law for kids to be Vaccinated.

a rumor?

'You are not the boss of me, but I am the boss of you' GOP/FOX in a nutshell

If the government can force women to be pregnant, why can't it force people to be vaccinated?

FoxNews is not journalism. Its wing of Republican propaganda pushers. How much $$$ GOPconvention send to them? Can we get the facts?

TRUMPLICANS cynically believe ALL THEY have to DO IS stoke the flames of fear&hatred in the hearts&minds of voters & LIE TO them! But don't be fooled by people who couldn't care less about YOU! Because 'The worst thing about being lied to is knowing you're not worth the truth.'

FOX will purposely concoct social hot buttons or false flags to provoke fear&hatred among their viewers. They'll insidiously confound & distort concerns & issues to mislead their viewers. All to ruthlessly twist their viewer's hearts&minds to get what they want, their submission.

How is allowed to keep fanning these flames? It has to be illegal!

AlanTudyk Sigh. More bothsiderism. Tucker is lying. CDC doesn't even have the authority (states do). It isn't Tucker said one thing and someone else said something different. Do journalism and write relevant bylines.

Is this really misleading? The CDC voted unanimously to include the vaccine on recommended vaccine lists for children, so is it really inaccurate

Fox entertainment news, get it right tucks lawyers will tell it entertainment not factual

What? Sucker caught lying again?

Am no fan of Tucker's but he told the truth. The mofos voted 15-0.

This is gov propaganda filled with half truth. Come on WP you should do better.

Ppl actually believe what he says is true, even when he tells them it isn't. Sad state of affairs.

TheJusticeDept I'm having a hard time understanding why public figures face no consequences when they lie and place the health of individuals at risk. Aren't there federal or state laws that protect the public from these lies and bring accountability to those who lie?

So they haven't made the recommendation as yet, they are still having 'a legitimate debate,' on whether to mandate the free vaccine for kids? We can predict the outcome of that debate based on the CDC's trend of decisions.

AMAZING!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Tucker lying again . cdc can't make it mandatory. of course tucker knows he can say anything and his audience will believe it.

Oh for a press regulator.

Tucker Carlson should be ‘tucked’ far, far away, never to appear again on any form of media!

How this provocateur is still allowed on US TV screens is beyond belief!

Look. Just because I had a drool-worthy daydream doesn't make it reality. Otherwise, we would have a social democracy in the States.

How can they STILL spread lies without any consequenses at all?

They're voting on it today and most states follow CDC recommendations as policy. CDC knows this & so does your 'former top health official.' So it's not misinformation at all, more like an inconvenience that people know about it.

Correction: At least 13 states mandate vaccines the CDC/ACIP recommends for children to attend school. 'For children 8 weeks and 19 months of age, a provider shall issue a Certificate showing a child is age-appropriately immunized in accordance with the ACIP schedule' *Tennessee

It’s time for Fox News to be restricted from broadcasting as a news network.

People are saying he licked a raccoon’s vagina as a college dare.

Personally, I think all schoolchildren should be vaccinated for as many illnesses as possible. Vaccinations save lives.

When cdc adds to schedule, many states automatically follow. CDC knows this. WAPO should know this. This “fact check” is false.

And ZERO accountability for Tucker Carlson.

Oh no how horrible.... I thought kids needed other mandatory vaccines to enroll in school?!? COVID vaccine should be mandatory as well

What do you expect from a serial liar like TuckerCarlson?

He should brush his teeth.

Embarrassing that he has a top rated show.

““As we’ll be discussing today and tomorrow, the incorporation of the COVID-19 vaccine in the immunization schedule and the vaccines for children or VFC program is an important step in the inclusion of COVID-19 vaccines in a routine vaccination program,” Dr. Sara Oliver,

From Yahoo: “A CDC panel unanimously voted on Wednesday to add the Covid-19 vaccine to the recommended childhood schedule.”

Tucker is not a source for accurate information. If you are looking for B.S., propaganda, politically motivated lies then Tucker is your boy. Truth? Not so much

Umm...it was reported they voted to highly recommend it for vaccinations list. A couple of things, first, the vaccine doesn't work, 2nd, the unofficial, well documented side effects, 3rd, it's more risk than reward. 4th, it doesn't work, again

It is accurate, and the media knows it. Stop lying! IT'S TRUE!

FOX News doing what FOX News does. Rupert Murdoch and his Family are guilty has charged, and like the Trump mentality they created, killed the Republican Party. Congratulations.

Take him to court then

No states are going to use CDC recommendations to impose child MRNA mandates, no siree.

Liar’s gotta lie.

Wow it’s almost like the cdc wants to control disease. Imagine that!

House Report Exposes Trump's Efforts To Politicize The CDC, COVID-19 GuidanceThe House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis said Donald Trump's administration tried to “compromise the scientific integrity' of the health agency. Trump was right on Covid more often than scientists, incl. the anti-Trump political animal Dr. Fauci who has been discredited. Trump was right to promote ending lockdowns ASAP because they damage the economy and people's psyche and have minimal impact on the pandemic. Was it when he was saying we should somehow insert disinfectant/ actual light into our bodies or was it a different insane thing he said? Trump with Bannons crazed fascist, authoritarian thinking has torn down much of what historically has made America great in an effort to cause division, confusion, imagined threats and a populis ready to be controlled. Keep them scared and dumb has worked before.
