'Complete lie': Fox News anchor allegedly fabricated story during primetime guest hosting gig - Raw Story - Celebrating 19 Years of Independent Journalism

Faulker told Fox News viewers, "You know, we didn't actually close schools in 1918, during the Spanish flu pandemic." 

That's false. Provably false. 

"And sometimes we make dangerously bad decisions, like pandemic lockdowns and keeping our own children home from schools when a virus was hurting them far less often than adults," she said, ignoring the fact that family transmission often started with children (see below.) 

"You know, we didn't actually close schools in 1918 during the Spanish flu pandemic. We didn't even have penicillin back then. We did sacrifice. We suffered but then we pressed on. Our enemies hate us for surviving, but they would love to be like us." 

 "This is blatantly untrue and takes about 3 seconds to fact check," observed Media Matters for America's Kat Abu.
