Matthew McConaughey Says He Wants To ‘Find Out More Information’ Prior To Mandating Vaccines For His Children
Matthew McConaughey is opening up about mandating vaccines for his children.
The topic has become a major subject since vaccinations against the coronavirus were made widely available early this year for adults.
In recent weeks, creators have been functioning toward making the vaccine available to children, provoking questions about whether such a vaccine should be mandated for kids.
“I couldn’t mandate having to vaccinate the younger kids,” he said. “I still want to find out more information. … There will come a time where you’re going to have to roll the dice one way or the other and go: ‘Where are the numbers in my favor?'”
He also stated that as of “right now,” he’s not vaccinating his own children.
“Do I think that there’s any kind of scam or conspiracy theory?” he asked. “Hell no, I don’t.”
He suggested the public “get off” such a “narrative,” insisting that “there’s not a conspiracy theory on the vaccines.”

McConaughey, who has floated the idea of running for the office of governor of Texas, said that he’s not against vaccines, just wants “more information” about them.
