Medical experts have stressed that the news media should not overplay isolated incidents of allergic reactions, given that they are expected to happen as hundreds of thousands of front line workers receive the vaccine. Hyping such incidents, medical experts have said, could give the public the wrong impression about the health risks of getting vaccinated. But Carlson did just the opposite, opening his show with the story of the Alaska worker as an on-screen graphic read, "BAD VACCINE REACTIONS." The text in Carlson's banner that appeared in the lower-half of the screen snarked, "THERE WILL BE NO QUESTIONING THE CORONA VACCINE." Carlson warned his viewers that they should be skeptical of what he described as a "glitzy" effort to get people vaccinated.
