Is Matthew McConaughey having trouble making himself understood, or has his words been distorted?
One thing is certain, the actor was forced to engage in a
damage control
operation
after his statements on the vaccination of children.
Earlier this week, the
Dallas Buyers Club
star
told the
New York Times
he was waiting for “more information” before deciding on the compulsory vaccination of young people against Covid-19.
The American CDC (Center for Disease Control) had just authorized the Pfizer vaccine for 5-11 year olds.
Faced with the controversy that this statement, deemed "antivax", raised, Matthew McConaughey provided details via Instagram.
“When I was asked my opinion on the issue of children and immunization mandates, I replied, 'I could not yet impose vaccination on children.'
What was not clear was that I was specifically referring to the mandate for 5-11 year olds.
What is NOT true, and has been implied in the press headlines since, is that I am against childhood immunizations.
It's wrong.
In fact, our 13 year old eldest son, Levi, is fully vaccinated against Covid-19, ”he wrote.
Watch the statistics
Himself vaccinated, just like his wife Camila Alves, Matthew McConaughey refuses the antivax label, even if he had admitted having chosen "to go slowly" with the vaccination of his children, even before the health crisis of Covid. According to the
Washington Post
, around 360,000 children between the ages of 5 and 11 have already received their first dose of vaccine since the CDC cleared it, but some cities, such as New York, are already facing shortages of vaccines for children. youth.
If he admitted cautious about the current vaccine, Matthew McConaughey had admitted, in his first statement, that he believed that the vaccination of the youngest was only a matter of time.
“There comes a time when you have to go ahead and ask yourself, 'Are the stats in my favor?'
I am vaccinated.
My wife is vaccinated.
… It's just about trying to live as healthily as possible, ”he said.
The French Ministry of Health considers for its part that vaccination of 5-11 year olds is "necessary to limit the risk of transmission of the virus and essential to achieve collective immunity as quickly as possible".
In France, such a campaign will not be launched before the establishment of a European calendar.
