'The Five' host Jessica Tarlov slams Jeanine Pirro for being an anti-vaxxer despite getting Covid vaccine

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The usually lively 'The Five' studio became completely silent on the episode on Tuesday, September 12, when the conservative hosts were confronted by sole Democrat Jessica Tarlov.

The panel discussed the issues with social media platforms placing restrictions on information related to the Covid-19 and vaccines as concerns surrounding false information were on the rise.

The conservative hosts on the Fox show, Jeanine Pirro, Greg Gutfeld, Jesse Watters and Dana Perino, have all spoken up against the vaccines and boosters.

In a surprising move by Tarlov, she questioned Pirro on being an anti-vaxxer side despite being vaccinated.

Jessica Tarlov shares worry over information restrictions

Tarlov, while all for eradicating false narratives from media, was not on board with the move made by Meta, the social media giant, for moderating content on Threads about Covid and vaccines

Tarlov said, "We're too far into this for this kind of behavior.

Sheo further said, "A conversation you could have had in the initial go-round about vaccines or Covid and disinformation or misinformation, whatever you are calling it. We obviously know a lot more now."

She then shared her worries over the inaccessibility of information about these things to young people.

"I think it’s really distressing, especially considering the fact that a majority of Gen-Zs go to social media for their information," Tarlov said.

She continued, "They also need to figure out a system to stop people from spreading rumors."

Tarlov spoke about Bronny James who collapsed during a basketball game.

James' collapse was falsely attributed to taking the Covid vaccine on social media when it was later proved that it was a cardiac arrest.

"Immediately, it was ‘It was because of the vaccine.’ It was not because of the vaccine, but that became the leading story," Tarlov said.

While she was speaking, Tarlov was interrupted by Pirro for backing the efficacy of the vaccines.

"You need to find some safe middle ground where people know that the vaccine is safe for you," Tarlov had started to say when Pirro's sarcastic "Oh" could be heard in the background.

“"Oh." What do you mean?” Tarlov immediately fired back, adding, “You’re fine. You’re vaccinated. What are you ‘Oh’ing?'”

Gutfeld started laughing as the studio fell silent and Pirro refused to answer when Tarlov asked, "It's your turn."

Pirro tried to divert the question from herself as she told Gutfeld sheepishly, "It's your segment."

Gutfeld continued laughing as he said, "I don't care. I'm just here for the fun!"
