Carlson opposes [[File:AntiAntiAbortion.png]] abortion, stating that it is the only political issue that he considers non-negotiable. He also opposes [[File:Fem.png]] [[Feminism|feminism]] and associated [[File:Gay.png]] [[:Category:LGBT|LGBT+ people]] with the [[File:Prog-u.png]] [[Progressivism|political left]], where he would later face allegations of [[File:Mansphere.png]] [[Manosphere|sexism]] and [[File:Anti-LGBT.png]] homophobia, especially after using [[File:Sexism icon.png]] sexist and [[File:Homophobia.png]] homophobic slurs.

 

 

Carlson initially aired segments that warned viewers about COVID-19 and allegedly influenced then-president [[File:Blump.png]] [[Right-Wing Populism#Trumpism|Donald Trump]] to take the virus more seriously. However, by May 2020, he began to question the severity of the virus and started to oppose COVID-19 restrictions and protocols such as lockdowns, social distancing, and mask mandates. In 2021 and 2022, he cast doubt on the effectiveness of masks and vaccines and blamed [[File:Scientocracy Small.png]] [[Scientocracy|Anthony Fauci]] for contributing to the creation of the virus. Carlson has touted the anti-parasite medication ivermectin as a possible COVID-19 treatment, though the FDA has warned against its use. He has ridiculed people who wore masks outdoors, calling them "zealots and neurotics", and believed that children wearing masks were child abuse.
