Rachel Maddow makes an impassioned plea for people afraid of shots to take the vaccine

Mediaite

Maddow, who recently got the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, said that vaccine hesitancy doesn’t automatically mean “you’ve been treated into some conspiratorial, anti-vaccine movement, although there is one in this country." She also revealed that she's scared of needles after having a bad allergic reaction to a few shot years ago. “I feel like there is a sort of discourse in the American media — in the normal media, not the conservative media, which really is still mired in all sorts of disinformation and nonsense about covid, including about covid vaccines — but in the rest of the media, in left and center and everything but hard-right crazy media, I feel like there has been a lot of sort of patronizing, snobby discussion about people who don’t really want to get the vaccine," she said.
