Amanda Kloots responded to social media followers who faced the pro-fitness who was vaccinated after the death of her husband, Nick Cordero, last summer.
The 38-year-old’s talk show personality shared a photo of herself receiving the COVID-19 vaccine on Friday night, angering many fans, as only essential workers and residents over the age of 65 years are allowed to get the vaccine in Los Angeles at this time.
“You can explain why you got the vaccine before the 65-year-olds and those who get the answer here in LA, who still can’t get them,” one follower asked, as another wrote, “questioning minds want to he knows how you got vaccinated while those who work in schools still can’t book an appointment 🧐🤔. ”
Kloots changed his legend to address those who wondered how he received the vaccine, begging fans not to be ashamed because he tried to protect himself after the passing of her husband Cordero, who died in July 2020 due to coronavirus complications.
“I went to a website and waited in my car until all the appointments were over in the hope that they would have additional vaccines,” she explained. “I was fully prepared to be removed, but they said they had enough tonight for everyone waiting. I can’t tell you how emotional I was and still am. ”
She added: “I’ve been horrified since Nick passed away, as a single mother who got this virus and I’m one step closer.”
She also addressed the reaction through her Instagram stories, saying: “First of all, the shame of the vaccine should not happen. Everyone should get this vaccine and whoever gets it, we should celebrate that another person has received the vaccine.
“I knew I could be removed,” she continued, “but I drove [there], and I waited in line in the hope that at the end of the day, at the end of the appointments, they could have additional vaccines that would otherwise be thrown out “, she said, with tears in her eyes. “And instead of being thrown out, they were put in an arm … the arm of a single surviving mother who deserves to have an extra vaccine that would have been thrown in the trash.
“So, I’m sorry to feel a little emotional, but it was a very emotional experience for me. I felt really good to be back tonight if that was the case. I was actually ready to be removed. I gave it a shot and luckily the shot worked and they had availability and were happy to have people there waiting with willing arms. And I was happy to be one of those willing arms. “
