(Jack Davis, The Western Journal) Amid an onslaught of Biden administration voices calling for children to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, actor Matthew McConaughey says he is not sold on the idea.

The Oscar winner has three children, ages 13, 11 and 8.
“They just said we can vaccinate kids,” McConaughey said in an interview Tuesday during The New York Times DealBook/Online Summit, referring to the recent approval of a vaccine for children ages 5 to 11.
“Do we need to trust? I want to trust in the science,” he said.
McConaughey said the experts mean well, even if they might be wrong.
But the bottom line, he said, was that he is not going to act yet.
“It’s scary. Right now I’m not vaccinating mine, I’ll tell you that. I’m not vaccinating mine,” McConaughey said.
Concerns over the possible risks of heart inflammation have accompanied the vaccines, with the Food and Drug Administration so far reluctant to approve the Moderna vaccine for adolescents due to the myocarditis cases associated with it.
Although the Pfizer vaccine carries a risk as well, it received an FDA emergency use authorization for children 5-11 late last month.

The actor noted he is not opposed to vaccinations against the coronavirus.
“I’ve been vaccinated. My wife’s been vaccinated. We have a high-risk person in our household, my mother, who’s 90, and she’s immunocompromised,” he said.
He said he went slowly on vaccinations even prior to COVID-19.
“I couldn’t mandate having to vaccinate the younger kids. I still want to find out, still want to find out more information,” McConaughey said.
“I’m vaccinated. Wife’s vaccinated. Didn’t do it because somebody told me I had to, chose to do it,” he said. “Mom is vaccinated three times, still, it’s not created any antibodies for it. She’s the one we’re really trying to protect. And we’re over here just trying to live as healthy of a lifestyle as possible. But I couldn’t mandate it for kids just yet, no.”
The actor received pushback for his comments on social media.

Some voices have been cautious about a blanket immunization campaign targeting children 5 to 11.
“Vaccinating children to protect adults via herd immunity is ethically dubious and is scientifically weak,” David Livermore, a medical microbiologist at the University of East Anglia in England, told the Daily Mail last month.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
