Gov. Spencer Cox said the anti-vaccination “propaganda” coming from right-wing media is likely harming efforts to get more Utahns vaccinated against COVID-19.

“I think it’s harmful. It’s certainly not helpful,” Cox said Thursday, during his monthly KUED news conference.

“We have these talking heads who have gotten the vaccine and are telling other people not to get it. That kind of stuff is dangerous, it’s damaging, and it’s killing people,” Cox said.

Cox heaped praise on former President Donald Trump for Operation Warp Speed, which he called “one of the greatest advancements in medicine in human history.”

“Republicans and President Trump should be taking credit for that. But, I don’t think we can take credit for getting the vaccine and then tell people that there’s something wrong with it. That just doesn’t make sense to me,” Cox said.
