The actor …
Who has been mentioned as a possible Texas Governor candidate IS vaccinated ….
Matthew McConaughey says that while he’s received his COVID-19 shot, he’s against mandating that his children get vaccinated.
“I couldn’t mandate having to vaccinate the younger kids. I still want to find out more information,” the “Interstellar” actor said Tuesday, when asked at The New York Times’s DealBook summit about his stance on childhood vaccinations and whether to mandate them.
The Food and Drug Administration authorized Pfizer-BioNTech’s coronavirus vaccine for emergency use in children ages 5 to 11 last week.
McConaughey, who’s repeatedly floated a possible campaign against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), indicated that he’s not opposed to vaccinations, but would be against requiring them.
“I’m vaccinated. My wife’s vaccinated. I didn’t do it because someone told me I had to — [I] chose to do it,” he told the Times’s Andrew Ross Sorkin.
“Do I think that there’s any kind of scam or conspiracy theory?” the Academy Award-winner asked. “Hell no.”
“We all got to get off that narrative. There’s not a conspiracy theory on the vaccines,” he said.
But McConaughey, 52, added of his children: “Right now I’m not vaccinating mine, I’ll tell you that.”…..
He has always been way more Conservative than people really know. Various statements made over the years indicate a consistent sympathy with Trump. That he ever was talked up as a Democratic prospect is laughable and says volumes about the relative dearth of available good candidates in Texas.
The decision on whether children should get vaccines should be based on conclusions of the work of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the CDC and the FDA. The non-medical American population should not try to interpret the research from articles written in the Journal of the American Medical association or other medical journals. There are far more qualified people to do that than novices like us.
Trust what health officials tell us and make decisions on health based on what the experts say. If I want insights on acting, I might talk to an actor, but an actor will probably not be a person to consult with on recent developments of healthcare issues for children.
An actor or a football player, no matter how talented.
Until everyone is vaccinated this pandemic will be with us.
Ah?
Wasn’t Reagan and Trump ‘actors’?
How does that relate exactly?
Furthermore, while I can’t speak for whatever your sentiments on Reagan are, I’m pretty sure the vast majority of commentors and readers here would not highly regard either man’s White House tenure.
Me neither SE….
But people DO listen an follow these guys….
Millions…
And BOTH Got the White House job, eh?
Thank you to the Federal judge for protecting Texas at-risk students against the culture of death.
