The network's most popular host, Tucker Carlson, called asking about vaccination statuses a 'super vulgar personal question' akin to asking about a person's favorite sexual positions.
Fox News has required its employees to upload their vaccination statuses into a company database. While the network's hosts and guests have promoted vaccines in the past, they have also pushed doubts about the vaccines' safety.
The media outlet required all in-person and work-from-home employees to upload their vaccination status to a system called"Workday" by August 17, according to an internal memo recently published byFox News doesn't require its employees to be vaccinated. However, it still required them to provide vaccination information for contact tracing and space planning purposes to follow guidelines from the U.S.
Fox News is requiring its employees to upload their COVID-19 employee vaccination statuses even though its hosts have casted doubts on vaccines' efficacy.

Though the outlet has promoted vaccines, its employee vaccination disclosure policy and Clearpass both contrast with its broadcasts that have sowed doubts about vaccines' safety and railed against"vaccine passports." Over the past few months, Fox News hosts have repeatedly opposed"vaccine passports"—special privileges given to vaccinated individuals—as an anti-American threat to personal freedoms. Its hosts have also opposed mask mandates as unnecessary and even a form of"child abuse."
