Last Thursday, the actress posted a video on her social media account from the YouTube channel “On The Table” which raised “concerns” about the COVID-19 vaccine, according to NBC News.
She then tweeted, “if you don’t conform to popular opinions. but ask questions and think for yourself….you get cancelled [laugh emoji].”
On Friday, she responded to the backlash that ensued by tweeting, “my intention was not to hurt anyone, my ONLY intention of posting the video was it raised my concerns with what the vaccine contains and what we are putting in our bodies. Nothing else.” (RELATED: Everyone Who Gets Coronavirus Vaccine Will Receive Vaccination Card, US Health Officials Say)
