Mayim Bialik: It "hurts" when I'm referred to as an anti-vaxxer

"After the New York Times did a piece on me which I found really kind of like, neutral," the Call Me Kat star and Jeopardy! host told former NBA star Jalen Rose for his Renaissance Man podcast, according to Yahoo Entertainment. "I can't tell you the number of people who were like, 'she's an anti-vaxxer.'" She told Rose that the reaction was frustrating. "And it's like, 'Did you not read the article?' That upsets me just as a human," she said. "It doesn't upset me as a celebrity so much because, like, I'm grateful to my publicist for reminding me not to read comments. I had a little slip … But the fact is, like, when people say things about you that aren't true, that hurts. And that hurts, whether it's between you and your girlfriend or, you and your lover or, you know, on the New York Times comments section … I really just wanted to be like, 'I'm not an anti-vaxxer.' Like, my kids were vaccinated late. That's true. And we were vaccinated."
