Brian Kilmeade may be the dumbest man on television, but he’s also the most pandering. The two characteristics have come together recently in Kilmeade’s “vaccine hesitancy” (to put it with far too much charity). Let’s let Mediaite set up the dynamic because we don’t watch Fox:

For weeks, Kilmeade has been fueling vaccine hesitancy on Fox & Friends while skirmishing with Doocy over the positives of promoting vaccines to the public. As the show spoke on Wednesday about Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s (R) Covid diagnosis, Kilmeade digressed in order to talk about New York City’s upcoming vaccine mandate policy.

On Wednesday, Kilmeade started complaining about New York’s new public health policy: “Guess what they’re doing in this terribly run city? They are deciding you can’t go to plays, movies, bars, restaurants, gyms. You can’t go to anything unless you have your vaccination card, which takes a dollar to make a knockoff.”

Doocy said DeBlasio could be right if it made more people go out and get vaccinated, or – we might add, kept people who are out dining and going to movies from spreading the disease – unknowingly – to others.

Kilmeade was not happy: “So what? People are making decisions. You shouldn’t have the mayor making your medical decisions.”

The mayor is not making medical decisions, the Mayor is not making people get the shots. The mayor is making public policy and public health decisions.

Doocy answered similarly: “If you talk to him, he would say it’s a public health crisis.”

Kilmeade answered like the baby we expect: “Who wants to talk to him?”

What a little baby. Watch:
