Per Yahoo Entertainment, Cavuto tested positive for coronavirus in October 2021 and discussed how being vaccinated had made battling the disease much more bearable than it could have been, especially because he is considered medically vulnerable to the virus after facing cancer in the 1980s, being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1997, and undergoing open heart surgery in 2016.
“Half the cases on the breakthrough front are among the immunocompromised, people like me who have had and have MS or prior heart situations or cancer,” he said on the show, adding, “In the end, if you can get vaccinated and think of someone else and think of what that could mean to them and their survivability from this, we’d all be better off.”

“I feel very strongly … that people get vaccinated … I’d like to urge people of all sorts to please get vaccinated,” he told Kurtz, adding that people who have received a dose of the vaccine are in a “much better position to survive” a Covid-19 diagnosis. “Take the political speaking points and toss them,” he added. “I beg you, toss them.”
