Matthew McConaughey says he opposes vaccine mandates for "younger kids"

Matthew McConaughey, who is contemplating a run for Texas governor, said Tuesday that he opposes COVID-19 vaccine mandates for "younger kids."

The 52-year-old actor, who is the father of three children between the ages of 8 to 13, revealed during the New York Times DealBook summit that he was against vaccine mandates for some kids and he will not vaccinate his own "right now."

"Do I think there's any kind of scam or conspiracy theory? Hell, no, I don't," he said, adding he knows scientists are "trying to do the right thing."
