Amanda Kloots is responding to the backlash she received for getting her first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The 38-year-old fitness instructor and The Talk co-host is the widow of Broadway actor Nick Cordero, who died in July 2020 after contracting the virus and spending more than three months in the hospital. Amanda received her first dose of the vaccine on Friday night (February 19) and she was accused of jumping the line.
In Los Angeles, where she lives, only essential workers and people over 65 are eligible to book appointments for the vaccine right now.
Now, Amanda is explaining how she received the vaccine and why “vaccine shaming” should not be happening. “I think it’s crazy that people are trying to make this a scandalous thing,”
