Tarek El Moussa and wife Heather El Moussa celebrated their son Tristan s first birthday at the Happiest Place on Earth: Disneyland in Anaheim, California.
and i mean she s all smiles in the picture. i get the feeling that eleanor is all smiles most of the time. but taylor, what was going through your mind at that moment? and have there been any issues so far? no. she has done fantastic. we still don t know whether she got the placebo or the actual vaccine. but fingers crossed. i mostly took the photo because i wanted to people to see that it is just a vaccine. it is not scary. it is not painful. it is quick and easy. and you could do it. go ahead, go ahead. if you look at it, it will hurt, if you don t, it won t. so i look at it that i didn t want to get it so i was really and once i did look at it, i just got it. you re so awesome. and eleanor, i told my almost
joining me now a mom and daughter who have answered the call. taylor heather and her daughter eleanor. thank you for being here. it is so good to meet you guys. as i said in the commercial break. taylor, i have so many questions but you lay it out so well in your commentary that you wrote. but tell us, why did you want her to take part in the trial. how did you get comfortable with it? i got comfortable with it for a few reasons. number one, i had covid back in december. and i suffered with long haul symptoms. disneyness, vertigo, fatigue, weird things going on with my breath. shortness of breath. and it is miserable. and i knew that kids could also experience long haul systems and that is something that i wanted to protect her from even though she s young, even though she s healthy, that doesn t preclude you from getting long haul covid
which i think there isn t enough talking about everybody is worried about ventilators and dying from covid. normal immune people need to be concerned about the long haul issues. you could get on any facebook group that is long haul support group, and they will you could read people s experiences. it is awful. another reason is because my dad is immunocompromised. and i know he has a rare form of cancer. and he has an excellent prognosis because of science and medical research. and, you know, we benefit from that because he s still alive and i want to make sure that kids have access to the vaccine as soon as possible and participating in trials will do that. taylor, i want to show our viewers a picture that you took of eleanor shortly after her first shot. it is part of the pfizer trial.
so, you know, do the bare minimum, get the vaccine. wear a mask for a little while. i know it is uncomfortable and it is not fun and it is not cute. but it is the only way things will get back to normal. this is a global pandemic. we re not the only ones dealing with this. that is exactly right. this is not unique to the united states. it is not unique to the u.s. government. this is something that every country in the world is struggling to eradicate and mitigate and and everyone needs to do their part. if that is taking the vaccine or if it is being an awesome, brave 7-year-old who is leading the way. and smiling along the journey. eleanor, i am so happy to meet you. and i could see on your momma s face that she s super proud of it and we re really thankful for you. taylor, thank you so much for coming on. thank you for having me. you deserve another doll. i m going to say it on national television, eleanor. i m going to say it. thank you, guys. thank you.
