Fox Sports forced hosts Shannon Sharp and Skip Bayless to take flu shots last year.

And then two Fox sports hosts go, yeah, we both took the flu shot last year when they pushed it on us and almost killed us. They talked about it on the radio. They go on TV and say, I'm not taking a flu shot with you. No, everybody I know that takes it gets it. I'm never taking it again. Ooh, they need to be fired. Those dirty Americans open their fat mouths about, yeah, we both took it last year when they pushed it on us. We got sick.

Alex Jones misrepresents the conversation between Shannon Sharp and Skip Bayless regarding flu shots.

Oh, this is nonsense. Yeah. It's just a dumb conversation that Shannon Sharp and Skip Bayless had that Alex is misrepresenting to make a different point. Look, I don't refuse to engage with somebody who is quoting two Titans of Takes in Skip fucking Bayliss and Shannon Sharp. Sure. Great. I don't give a fuck what they have to say about literally anything. And that includes sports. That includes sports. Those two idiots are stupid. I think it's interesting because what you have is the kernel of something real in terms of like this was a conversation where they were critical of vaccines. Yeah, no, no. But that's not good enough for Alex. He has to turn it into a thing where Fox forced them both to get a shot last year. They both got sick and now they're never going to take it again. When in reality, only one of them referenced getting the flu after getting the shot. Right. Which there's a better explanation for than whatever Skip Bayless is coming up with. And then Shannon Sharp was just saying, I didn't get one.
