Friday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” host Tucker Carlson explained how despite Big Tech efforts to censor claims related to the COVID-19 pandemic, some of those claims have turned out to be true. Carlson singled out Google and Facebook and how those companies treated reports about the origins of COVID-19 and China. Transcript as follows: CARLSON: Dr. Hooman Noorchashm is one of the country’s leading immunologists. He’s also a surgeon. Noorchashm has held appointments at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, and then at the VA in Philadelphia. He has written dozens of peer reviewed articles and publications like “The New England Journal of Medicine” and “The Journal of Immunology.” He has every possible credential in his field. So, in other words, by any measure, including the measures now being used to justify censorship in Silicon Valley, Dr. Hooman Noorchashm is unquestionably an expert. Last night, we invited him on this show to discuss reports, specifically from Israel, but also from other countries that may have profound implications for young people in the United States. Researchers around the world have noted that coronavirus vaccines appear to cause a stunningly large number of young people to develop a potentially fatal heart condition called myocarditis. Here is what we said about it last night — (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) CARLSON: Israeli health officials released a report showing that vaccinated young people, particularly young men, were developing a potentially fatal complication, a heart inflammation called myocarditis, and they were developing it at extremely high rates. Researchers determined that the incidence of myocarditis in vaccinated young men was fully 25 times the usual rate, some of them died. (END VIDEO CLIP) CARLSON: Twenty five times the rate of potentially fatal heart inflammation. That is a huge jump. If those numbers hold, if they are right, we have no reason to think ...

Birx: ‘At This Moment,’ We Believe China’s Claim That There Are No New Cases in Wuhan
On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx stated that, at the moment, she believes China’s claim that there haven’t been any new cases in Wuhan. Birx said, “[W]e’re beginning to see real hope from South Korea and China, where it looks like they’ve moved through the worst of their epidemics.” Host Bret Baier then asked, “Do you believe the Chinese report that there are no new transmissions in the Wuhan province, no local transmissions today?” Birx answered, “You know, if you watch the trend lines over time, and if you watch them, as you line them up with South Korea, they’re very similar. So, at this point, at this moment, we would believe those data. I think everyone’s still concerned about why we weren’t alerted earlier.” Follow Ian Hanchett on Twitter @IanHanchett ...
GOP Rep. Mace: Trump DOJ Surveilling House Dems ‘Wrong’ – Dems Lack Credibility on the Issue Since Obama Went After Fox, AP
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Evening Edit,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) said that it was wrong for the Trump Justice Department to seize records for the metadata of House Democrats, just as it was wrong for the Obama DOJ to go after journalists at the Associated Press and Fox News and that the Obama administration’s surveillance conduct undercuts Democrats’ credibility on the subject. Mace said, [relevant remarks begin around 3:30] “Well, this is wrong. They’re both wrong, right? And Democrats would have more credibility on this issue — they’re raging on Twitter right now, but they’d have more credibility on this issue if they didn’t abuse their own surveillance powers to go after Fox News and the Associated Press. And you’re right, it was Obama’s Department of Justice that went after journalists, right? I mean, that was wrong. This is wrong now. That was wrong then.” Follow Ian Hanchett on Twitter @IanHanchett ...
CNN’s Cuomo: GOP ‘Too Concerned with the Wuhan Lab Story’ to Care About Trump DOJ Surveilling Dems
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Cuomo Primetime,” host Chris Cuomo stated that Republicans aren’t condemning the Trump Justice Department seizing records for the metadata of House Democrats because “they’re too concerned with the Wuhan lab story right now,” which goes back to the beginning of a pandemic that Republicans thought was a hoax. “Don Lemon Tonight” guest host Laura Coates said she’s surprised that Republicans haven’t said much on the story since the same thing could happen to Republican members of Congress in the future. Cuomo responded, “Well, they’re too concerned with the Wuhan lab story right now, which takes us back to the beginning of a pandemic that they agreed was a hoax with their silence about when the president was calling it a hoax then.” Follow Ian Hanchett on Twitter @IanHanchett ...
Josh Rogin: Fauci, Collins ‘Have Been Thwarting Congressional Investigations’
During an interview released on Friday’s edition of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” author, Washington Post columnist, and CNN Political Analyst Josh Rogin said White House Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci and NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins “have been thwarting Congressional investigations” and refusing to answer questions “about the work that they were doing that was connected to these Wuhan labs, primarily the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” Rogin said, [relevant remarks begin around 50:15] “Fauci and Collins, Fauci the head of the part of the government that funds all virus research — basically all virus research…and Collins the head of the NIH, they have been thwarting Congressional investigations. They’ve been refusing to answer basic questions from Congress members of both sides of the aisle in both chambers about the work that they were doing that was connected to these Wuhan labs, primarily the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” Follow Ian Hanchett on Twitter @IanHanchett ...
