CNN's John King reveals he has multiple sclerosis and says he's grateful for his colleagues who got vaccinated


CNN anchor John King shared that he has multiple sclerosis.

He also said he is immunocompromised, which raises his risk of severe illness due to the coronavirus.
The national correspondent said he's grateful to work for a company where everyone is vaccinated.
CNN anchor and chief national correspondent John King revealed on Tuesday that he has multiple sclerosis.

King made the announcement on his program, "Inside Politics," and said he was immunocompromised. Having MS isn't a risk factor for developing COVID-19 in itself, but some disease therapies suppress the immune system, increasing the risk of a severe infection.

"So I am grateful you are all vaccinated. I am grateful my employer says all of these amazing people who work on the floor, who came in here in the last 18 months when we are doing this, are vaccinated now that we have vaccines," King said on the program.

"I don't like the government telling me what to do. I don't like my boss telling me what to do," he continued. "In this case, it's important."

1. Damn . ..

Hopeful that at least 99.9% have been fully vaxxed.

3. I wondered how he always looks so sad

That's a horrible disease. I have a friend suffering from that same medical problem.

4. Yeah

I remember him at the time of Gore/Bush, and I really thought he was more pro-Gore (can't remember if he seemed disappointed by the SC FL decision or what is was - but I remember him seeming to be more of a Democrat). Over the years he seemed much more pro-Republican. I don't know if he changed (became more conservative) or if I was wrong in 2000.

5. I'm going to share a secret I've never shared before: I am immunocompromised

6. I remember when he married Dana Bash

They were both so young and John was comparatively thin back in 2008.
