On the eve of Thanksgiving, media outlets urged Americans to perform COVID tests and check the vaccination status of Thanksgiving dinner guests before allowing them into their homes.
During a segment on CBS Mornings, psychologist Lisa Damour was asked how nervous Thanksgiving hosts should bring up the subject of vaccination status when welcoming friends and family.
CBS segment on #Thanksgiving suggests families have drinks and "hors d'oeuvres in the garage" while everyone takes a Covid rapid test and wait for the results before going inside: "You can make it playful, make it fun, and then be able to enjoy the holiday.
Let's just take a moment to sympathize with people who are attending Thanksgiving dinner today at a relative's house who is so paranoid about a virus with a 99.9% survival rate, they want to perform medical tests on their own family members before letting them in.
Axios published an article suggesting that hosts should deploy "Thanksgiving bouncers" to deal with people who fail to comply.
"Normalizing rapid tests is a practical way to help extended families feel a little more normal around the holiday dinner table.
The piece went on to encourage hosts to inform guests ahead of time that they will "be testing everyone at the door for their own safety.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
