Megyn Kelly Expresses ‘Regret’ Over Receiving COVID Shot
Amid a seasonal uptick in the number of reported COVID-19 cases, the Biden administration is once again urging Americans to receive a vaccine — despite limited evidence of its efficacy and mounting concerns about its safety.
Meanwhile, former Fox News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly is speaking out about her own experience after receiving an earlier version of the vaccine and subsequent booster shot.
She noted that, although her children did not receive shots, she opted to take them due to her career and age. Looking back, however, she said that was the wrong decision.
“I regret getting the vaccine even though I am a 52-year-old woman because I don’t think I needed it,” Kelly said during a recent interview. “I think I would have been fine. I’ve gotten COVID many times and it was well past when the vaccine was doing what it was supposed to be doing.”
Furthermore, she was recently diagnosed with “an autoimmune issue” that she believes could have been triggered by the shot
“I went to the best rheumatologist in New York, and I asked her, do you think this could have to do with the fact that I got the damn booster and then got COVID within three weeks?” Kelly recalled. “And she said yes. ‘Yes.’ I wasn’t the only one she’d seen that with.”
Her current take on the matter is much different than the pro-vaccine stance she took in April 2021 before receiving the Johnson & Johnson shot.
In a social media post at the time, she confirmed that she had “zero qualms” about receiving the jab because she had “spent a life immersed in a media obsessed with fear-mongering that is often irresponsible and untrue.”
Kelly concluded that post by advising: “Do what your doctor tells you to do and ignore everyone else.”
Despite concerns among Americans and undeniable evidence that vaccines do not prevent the contraction or spread of the virus, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre nevertheless touted the supposed benefits of the shots this week.
“We know that these vaccines work, right?” she claimed. “We know when people stay up to date with their vaccine, that works.”
