Anti-Vax Celebrities Can’t Stop Telling On Themselves

While Hollywood A-Listers have been some of the first to speak in favor of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine—Dolly Parton even had a hand in funding the production of the Moderna vaccine—there are a growing number of anti-vax celebrities making themselves known. 

Despite having access to the top doctors and experts in the medical field, it seems some celebs just can’t help but turn to Joe Rogan, Facebook, and conspiracy theorists for the latest information on COVID-19. Despite the fact that the most respected scientists in the country agree that the Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J vaccines are safe and effective for preventing hospitalizations and death, these individuals are insistent on “doing their own research” and relying on disproved remedies. Despite the fact that the United States is nearing 50 million coronavirus cases, anti-vax celebrities can’t stop telling on themselves. 

Back in September, nine months after the vaccine roll-out began, Nicki Minaj admitted she was skeptical of receiving the vaccine in order to attend the Met gala. Since then, more and more celebrities like Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and model Doutzen Kroes have revealed their own reasons for opting out of the lifesaving vaccine.

George Clooney, for one, would be so disappointed. The actor recently told The Hollywood Reporter that he finds it “crazy” that some of his colleagues have chosen to forgo the COVID-19 vaccine. “It’s stupid. And it’s stupid because every generation in our country for more than a lifetime has been asked to sacrifice something for the safety of their fellow man—get shot, fight Nazis,” he said. “All that anyone’s being asked here is to get a shot in the arm and put on a mask. Grow up. Get something done.”

Below, the anti-vax celebrities you might want to stay six feet away from.  

Evangeline Lilly

The actor, best known for her role on Lost, posted her vaccine disapproval to Instagram on Thursday, January 27, telling her 2.2 million followers she’d attended a “bodily sovereignty” rally in Washington, D.C. “I believe nobody should ever be forced to inject their body with anything, against their will,” she wrote. “This is not the way. This is not safe. This is not healthy. This is not love. I understand the world is in fear, but I don’t believe that answering fear with force will fix our problems.” Lilly made sure to also say she was “pro choice” before COVID “and I am still pro choice today.”

Nicki Minaj

The rapper’s tweets about skipping the 2021 Met gala due to its vaccination policy may not have been vehemently anti-vax, but they were full of anti-vaccine talking points and misinformation. Ultimately, Nicki Minaj did say she will likely get vaccinated in order to go on tour again.

Aaron Rodgers

Despite previously claiming he was “immunized” in a press conference, the football player engaged to actor Shailene Woodley went on The Pat McAfee Show on November 5 to “set the record straight.” Not only did he not receive the coronavirus vaccine, but he also consulted Joe Rogan personally as part of his attempt to, you guessed it, do his own research.
