Alex Berenson for “serving up Covid-19 hot takes for the past year” even recruiting several medical experts to debunk his many unfounded claims.
Thompson faulted Berenson for pushing baseless theories regarding the coronavirus vaccine on both
Laura Ingraham and
Tucker Carlson’s Fox News primetime shows. He specifically downplayed vaccines and predicted that they would actually cause a surge in Covid-19 related deaths in the United States.

UPDATE 3-Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 shot 91% effective in updated data, protective against South African variant Reuters 1 hr ago
By Carl O Donnell
April 1 (Reuters) - Pfizer Inc and BioNTech said on Thursday their vaccine is around 91% effective at preventing COVID-19, citing updated trial data that included participants inoculated for up to six months.
The shot also showed early signs of preventing disease in a small subset of study volunteers in South Africa, where a concerning new variant called B.1.351 is circulating.
Although lower than the stunning 95% efficacy result reported from its 44,000-person clinical trial in November, overall efficacy of 91.3% shows the vaccine to be a powerful tool against an evolving virus. The virus now has more transmissible forms and those that have been shown to evade antibody protection in lab studies and real-world clinical trials.
