A former news correspondent for NBC and ABC News believes It is time for a class action suit charging Fox News with killing its own viewers. It convinced too many of them vaccines are deadly, COVID-19 is not, and masks are for sheep.
Retired Jim Avila writing an opinion piece for Barrett News Media, cites a new study published in the Journal of American Medical Association by Yale researchers found that after vaccines became available the COVID death rate was 43% higher among Republicans in the 2 states they examined, Florida and Ohio.
According to Avila, NBC News went on to report that in 2021, Trump counties nationwide reported 38% of the COVID deaths, while Biden voting counties reported 24% of the total deaths.
According to Avila disinformation kills.
He writes that ironically, the people dying are Fox News' own viewers. This wasn’t “owning the libs”, this was killing conservatives. He alleges another study by Political Communication showed a direct link between Fox News and vaccine misinformation.
These findings were framed politically by Chuck Todd on Sunday’s Meet the Press.

According to Avila while the program deserves credit for highlighting the latest Yale study, Todd reported that perhaps Republicans had done themselves a disservice by spreading COVID among their voters which could lead to defeat in the close presidential races to come in Georgia and Arizona.
