Amanda Kloots rejoices after the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine … and retaliates with vaccine developers

Her husband, Broadway star Nick Cordero, died of serious complications caused by COVID-19 after a battle of more than three months.

And now, almost eight months after his tragic death, Cordero’s widow, Amanda Kloots, has accessed Instagram and shared the happy news that she received her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

Although most people applauded her for waiting patiently in line to receive a remaining injection from Pfizer at the end of the workday, the single mother would eventually feel the need to fight back with vaccine makers who questioned how she could qualify for a vaccine. in California .

The Talk fitness instructor and co-host began by sharing a photo of her receiving the vaccine on her left arm at a drive-thru in Los Angeles.

‘I just received my COVID 19 vaccine!’ Kloots wrote with obvious joy in her words before explaining how she was able to guarantee her vaccination.

‘I went to a location and waited in my car until all appointments were over, in the hope that they would have some extra vaccine. I was fully prepared to be rejected, but they said they had enough tonight for everyone who waited.

As her husband passed away last July, after spending 95 days in a hospital in Los Angeles, it is easy to see why Kloots was so excited and humiliated to receive the vaccine.

‘I can’t tell you how excited I was and I still am now. I had Elvis by my side and Live Your Life playing in the car, ‘she continued, referring to the 20-month-old son of her marriage to Cordero.

‘THANK YOU to the National Guard who has been here today as a volunteer since 5:30, administering the Pfizer vaccine in voluntary arms. I have been terrified since Nick passed away, as a single mother of catching this virus and now I am one step closer. Thanks to my friends @laurencpresent and @ thompoint0 for driving and being by my side. ‘

About an hour after making her initial post, the 38-year-old woman posted a video explaining how anyone can get vaccinated against the coronavirus if they show some perseverance and patience.

“First of all, the shame of the vaccine should not happen. Everyone should get the vaccine and whoever takes it should celebrate that one more person got the vaccine, ”she began in the clip.

‘Secondly, I drove to a vaccination site in the hope, and I knew it could possibly be rejected, but I drove and waited in line in the hope that at the end of the day, at the end of the appointments, they might have vaccinations extras that would otherwise be discarded. ‘

When her voice started to rise with more emotion, Kloots continued, ‘And instead of being thrown out, they were put on one arm; an arm of a surviving single mother who deserves an extra vaccine that would have been thrown in the trash. ‘

Moments later, Kloots would make another video post explaining her intense emotions and how she would have been “perfectly fine to be rejected” to receive a remaining vaccine.

“Fortunately the photo worked and they were available. They were happy to have people there waiting with willing arms, and I was happy to be one of those willing arms. So please do not embarrass me about the vaccine in my photo after this day, in which I am very grateful to have this first step towards being vaccinated against this virus. ‘

Nick Cordero was only 41 when he passed away last July, after his long battle with complications from COVID-19.

During his fight for life, the Bullets Over Broadway star suffered from pneumonia, blood clotting problems that forced doctors to amputate his right leg and cause severe lung damage, among other extreme health difficulties.
