1. Given that she in fact has a doctorate in neuroscience

(as did her character Amy on TBBT), if she chose to delay some vaccinations for her kids, I'd imagine that her reasoning was well-considered. She's not your average celebrity shooting from the hip with no actual knowledge of something of this nature.

And honestly as long as she's not a rabid anti-vaxxer advising others not to get them, I really don't think it rises to the level of being denied the job. If it does, based on what we know at this point, I'm going to be irritated.

I hadn't had a vaccine in 30 years either before my COVID shot. Probably closer to 40, actually.

The fact that she came out with a video during Covid and said 'Although they're not usually my thing, I'm getting one for this!' is a good thing.
