New York (CNN Business) Some of Tucker Carlson's colleagues at Fox News are objecting to his reckless anti-vaccination rhetoric. On Wednesday night at least three Fox commentators, both conservatives and liberals, posted messages that rebutted Carlson's fear-mongering about the vaccinesCarlson claimed to be asking a simple question: "How many Americans have died after taking the COVID vaccines?" Numerous doctors spoke out on social media and said his comments were dangerous. The 15-minute monologue began with an on-screen banner that said "EVERYONE IN AUTHORITY WANTS YOU TO GET YOUR VACCINE," and it went downhill from there. Carlson cited data from a federal database called VAERS, short for Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, to insinuate that the Covid-19 vaccines are problematic.
