Actor Matthew McConaughey said Tuesday that he does not support mandating coronavirus vaccinations for his children despite the Food and Drug Administration last week authorizing the Pfizer-BioNTech’s shot for emergency use in kids ages 5 to 11.
He said at The New York Times’s DealBook summit that he “couldn’t mandate having to vaccinate the younger kids” and that he still wants to “find out more information.”
The 52-year-old noted that, “as of right now,” he would not have his children get the vaccine. He and his wife have three children, ages 13, 11 and 8.
McConaughey also pointed out that while he is not against vaccinations and that he himself has received the shot, he does not support a mandate.
“I’m vaccinated. My wife’s vaccinated. I didn’t do it because someone told me I had to — [I] chose to do it,” he told a reporter for The Times.
He went on to emphasize that he does not believe in “any kind of scam or conspiracy theory” surrounding the vaccine, adding that everyone needs to “get off that narrative.”

McConaughey, who said he received the vaccine because his 90-year-old mother is immunocompromised, said he has “quarantined harder” than his friends and that his family used a “heavy amount” of coronavirus testing during the pandemic.
“I’m in a position though where I can do that, and I understand that not everyone can do that,” he said.The Academy Award-winner also spoke on the new abortion ban in Texas, where he hinted at a possible run to be the state’s next governor.McConaughey called the legislation, which is facing a Supreme Court challenge, “overly aggressive.””It doesn’t doesn’t seem to open up the room for a sensible choice to be made at the right time,” he said. “I believe in this: more responsibility, more personal responsibility to make the right choices. And we got to pick context with each situation, and each person’s situation, each woman’s situation.”The Lone Star State’s ban prohibits abortions once a heartbeat is detected and allows private citizens to sue anyone who assisted a woman in getting the procedure.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
