“If you can, get the vaccine,” Ms. Faulkner says in the ad. Bret Baier, the chief political anchor of Fox News, said in an Instagram post that he was “grateful” for the shot. In May, the hosts of “Fox & Friends” spoke on-air of their “relief” at getting vaccinated. And Ms. Faulkner hosted a prime-time special in February that sought in part to “debunk common myths” about the vaccine. The prime-time Fox News host Sean Hannity, who fell behind Mr. Carlson in the ratings race during the Trump years, said on a May episode of “Hannity” that he planned to get a Covid-19 shot.
