On CNN’s show Inside Politics, John King shared a secret that he had been hiding.

"I'm going to share a secret I've never shared before," King said to the show’s panel. "I have multiple sclerosis. So I'm grateful you're all vaccinated."

King’s disclosure came during a discussion about how General Colin Powell, who died of coronavirus complications, was more vulnerable to the virus because he also had multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells that suppresses the body's immune response.

King said that he is grateful CNN has mandated employees be vaccinated and said he worries about contracting the coronavirus and "bringing it home to my 10-year-old son who can't get a vaccine."

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