"Fox is far more interested in turning coronavirus into a political cudgel than in giving users accurate health information," Gertz observes. When MSNBC and CNN, in 2020, were showing how enormous a threat COVID-19 posed, Fox News joined former President Donald Trump in downplaying the pandemic's severity. Many of her admirers have been shocked by her change of attitude. "I daily get texts from friends and former friends telling me to 'stop'," Wolf wrote on Twitter. "One just messaged 'you're doing incalculable harm.Naomi Wolf, who appeared on Fox News Primetime earlier this month, is citing reports of women who "bleed oddly bein… - Matthew Gertz Gertz)įox News' coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic has been dramatically different from that of MSNBC or CNN. "I'm seeing kids with their lower faces hanging inertly, absolutely unmoving facial muscles, when they take their masks off. "Terrifying children now don't have the human reflex that they when you smile at them they smile back," she wrote in a post in March.

Masks are also the subject of her ire, as she claimed the face coverings were causing children to forget how to smile. She also called Dr Anthony Fauci, chief medical advisor to the US president and director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, "satan". Some of the claims the self-styled "Covid truther" has made include that the vaccines were a "software platform that can receive uploads" and they let you "time travel", that lockdowns were tantamount to "Jim Crow laws" and "the best way to show respect for healthcare workers if you are healthy and under 65 is to socialise sensibly and expose yourself to a low viral load".
On Friday, her Twitter account, which had more than 140,000 followers, was suspended, after months of posts that had "seen her wade deeper into a conspiracist whirlpool", according to former fan and documentary-maker Benjamin Ramm, as reported by Business Insider. Lately, the writer, 58, appears to have taken a U-turn, instead finding allies in political far right figures, such as Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson. She was even a political adviser to former president Bill Clinton. Wolf has long been known for her liberal outlook, having aligned herself with causes such as Occupy Wall Street (she was arrested at a protest in 2011) or having her own #MeToo moment in 2004 when she wrote in New York Magazine that her Yale college professor had made unwanted sexual advances more than two decades earlier.

Last month, she said to a US congressional committee that vaccine passports had the ability to "recreate a situation that is very familiar to me as a student of history. American author and journalist Naomi Wolf, best known for her notable feminist work The Beauty Myth, from 1991, has had her Twitter account suspended for sharing disinformation about the Covid-19 vaccines, the pandemic and global lockdowns.Ī purveyor of the 1990s "third wave" of feminism, who has been praised by Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan in the past, was using the social media platform to spread her staunch anti-vaccine views throughout the pandemic.
