Big Bang Theory actress Mayim Bialik is clearing up a few hours about her stance on vaccinations. The 44-year-old Hollywood star says that while there were some reports indicating that she was against vaccinations, she says that’s not entirely true. However, she does say that she hasn’t gotten a vaccine in over 30 years. Here’s what you need to know.
In a nine-minute video on her YouTube channel called Anti-Vaxxers and Covid, Mayim sets the record straight about all of the claims that have been made about her and her opinions about the anti-vaxx movement.
Mayim Bialik Surprises Fans With Her Latest Remarks About The Coronavirus
“This year I’m going to do something I literally haven’t done in 30 years. I’m going to get a vaccine. And guess what? I’m actually going to get two,” Bialik began.
While she hasn’t gotten a flu vaccine in over 30 years, Mayim says that this year is going to be different and that her entire family will be getting one. She noted that her 12-year-old and 15-year-old sons have never received the flu vaccine either.
“You might be saying, ‘Hey, wait a second, you don’t believe in vaccines! You’re one of those anti-vaxxers,” Bialik said. “Let’s finally talk about it. I wrote a book about 10 years ago about my experience parenting and at the time my children had not received the typical schedule of vaccines. But I have never, not once, said that vaccines are not valuable, not useful, or not necessary because they are.”
Mayim also told her fans that there were other reasons why she decided to never get the flu vaccine for her children.
“The truth is, I delayed vaccinations for reasons that you don’t necessarily get to know about simply because you follow me on social media,” she continued. “Some children have allergies which are exacerbated by ingredients in vaccines…some children are highly susceptible to seizures from fevers which vaccines can cause. Some children have compromised immune systems. As of today, my children may not have had every one of the vaccinations that your children have but my children are vaccinated. I repeat, my children are vaccinated.”
