"anti-establishment" So much you go to fake news to get your scoops.

Anyway, that was a good response you gave. I'll pat myself on the back.
In March of 2021 Rachel Maddow said "A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus, the virus does not infect them, the virus cannot use that person to go anywhere else. It cannot use a vaccinated person as a host to go get more people."

Was the above statement fake news?

It was dead wrong. Ignorant is a better word. Or propaganda. I try to save the phrase "fake news" for things like interviews where responses are for the most part known in advance -- Fox, MSNBC, and CNN do a lot of those. In my opinion, Fox and CNN are actually worse than MSBC for "scripted interviews."

Do you have a specific source for the attribution to Maddow? If I haven't personally heard the quote, I try to attribute the source whenever possible.

If Maddow said that, she was clueless from the beginning. With the original variant, viral loads were higher for unvaccinated infected than vaccinated, but that's no longer really the case, which is why you don't hear about viral loads any more.
