Though his COVID-19 case at the time was mild, the virus still poses a greater risk to Cavuto, who has previously battled cancer and has been open about his decades-long struggle with multiple sclerosis (via CNN). On Monday, February 21, Cavuto revealed that, though he is vaccinated, he was diagnosed with COVID-19 again, and had been hospitalized for weeks.

According to Cavuto, his compromised immune system made him more susceptible to the complications that he faced, though the vaccine did provide a bit of help in curbing further symptoms. “Because I’ve had cancer and right now I have multiple sclerosis, I’m among the vulnerable 3 percenters or so of the population that cannot sustain the full benefits of a vaccine,” he explained. “It provided some defense, but that is still better than no defense. Maybe not great comfort for some of you. And frankly, not great comfort for me either! No matter, I’m not here to debate vaccinations for you. Just offer an explanation for me. I owed you that,” Cavuto concluded (via The Hill).
