(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.

I've had novocaine, had blood taken, had IV's for 2 surgeries, and had dye-type stuff put into me for MRI's ... but no 'shots of stuff as treatment or prophylactic', including Flu shots.

And I've not spent a day in bed sick in almost 35 years. At least, not from any infectious organism.

Edit: Oh, wait ... I was laid out for the equivalent of a day as I waited in hospital to get my appendix removed, which I suppose is some kind of infection. Might've gotten an antibiotic shot for that.

YMMV

but in all honesty I can say the same for every person I've ever met or read about. Hell, I don't agree with some of things I said in the past. For my money, she's a damned sight preferable to Richards, given that she's demonstrated a continuing ability to learn and adjust with new information, an ability not prompted by public outrage. That said, I've come to value the ability to change channels; used to enjoy Wheel of Fortune until Sajak's rightwing assholery surfaced, haven't watched in years.

If the things she has said or supported bother you, don’t watch the program. If they don’t then…..

Delaying vaccines or changing the kid schedule is not the same as anti-vax. Have not read her piece on Weinstein, will have to.

Jeopardy is a game show. The host is just a game show host. We are not voting for her for a government position. There is way too much angst for a game show host.

that people are agonizing over who will take up the mantle in his place.

But she’s a woman that I do admire and she’s pretty spontaneous.

I’m a bit tired of “comments they’ve made”
stuff. It’s legal to have a differing opinion even if it’s a dumb unsupported opinion.

As said in an earlier post, freedom to watch, freedom to turn off.

than all those who auditioned on air.

In between questions.

I remind them that Alex Trebek hawked Colonial Penn life insurance for decades.

Granted, stuff like prevogen and fish oil are not in the same boat as snake oils like colloidal silver in my mind.

It's not as bad as putting your life savings in PowerBall tickets, but . . .

According to a review by Nerdwallet.com in June 2021, "Bottom line: With more complaints than expected for a company of its size and relatively low coverage limits, Colonial Penn is unlikely to be the best option available to you." https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/insurance/reviews/colonial-penn-life-insurance/

have to be totally without fault or saintly to do the job ? I'm sure Alex farted in public a few times.
