17 Celebrities Who Proudly Got A COVID-19 Vaccine, And 8 Who Are Completely Against It

From Britney Spears to Samuel L. Jackson.

A few days ago, I took a look at celebrities who have made anti-vax statements in the past. And that got me wondering, “How do celebs currently stand on the COVID vaccine?”

So I thought it’d be interesting to find out which celebs are for the vaccine and which ones are against it:

In March, the Deadpool actor shared a picture of himself getting the vaccine on Twitter. “Finally got 5G,” he joked.

He also called the vaccine an “experimental gene therapy” and used the hashtag “2ndAmendmentIsForThis.”

And these assholes are going
“To keep track of who doesn’t want the experimental gene therapy…”
Remember, a government that fears it’s citizens is a better government.

The former The O.C. star frequently posts anti-vax statements on Twitter. Last month, she called the COVID vaccine an “untested shot made by criminals.”

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again;

I will never understand a healthy person with zero likelihood of severe illness from a flu variant that has a 99.9% survival rate, inject themself with an untested shot made by criminals, because a stranger is urging them to.

A few weeks ago, the infamous son of beloved actor Tom Hanks shared a video on Instagram. He pretended to encourage fans to get the vaccine and then yelled, “Psych!”

“Bitch!” he continued. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! I never had COVID. Y’ain’t sticking me with that motherfucking needle!”

Despite what some of these celebrities have said, the COVID vaccine is proven to be safe. In fact, Pfizer’s vaccine recently got the FDA’s full approval. To learn more about the safety of COVID vaccines, you can check out the CDC’s website.
