I’ve seen it claimed that Fox is actually vaccinated (he’s certainly travelled internationally several times during the pandemic) and that the whole thing is bullshit and there’s no chance he’s popping those Mexican pills he’s waving around. He’s a petty, whining, lying little shit and lying about both being vaccinated and having COVID is entirely in his character. But who knows. ---

And a late add … for those who don’t enjoy watching these videos. Basic points: - Congress Critter Massie (R-KY) posted online a supposed quote from Voltaire: “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” - Voltaire didn’t say this (a Neo-Nazi did) - The quote was about Fauci, at whom a – literally – incessant torrent of criticism has been aimed since the start of the pandemic (making the quote irrelevant on its face) - If you want to know who **is** trying to control you, pay attention to who wants you to be afraid, of what, and who is ostensibly to blame for that situation (the one of which you’re ‘supposed to’ be afraid) ---
