Evangeline Lilly- AntiVaxxer?

[Username taken]

She actually tweeted out some nonsense some years back about not isolating during the early days of the pandemic but apologized for it.

Only for this garbage to come out:

I can’t imagine any right-thinking person will attend an anti-vaccination rally that featured RFKjr (this man’s existence lends credence to the Kennedy Curse theory) as a speaker. There’s stupid and then there’s RFKjr, who’s just a worthless person with worthless views and I’m surprised that Evangeline Lilly would partake in that man’s stupidity.

Between the Letitia Wright mess and now this, it’s kind of interesting (and funny) that Marvel has anti-vaxxers in fairly high-profile roles in the universe. Although, I somehow doubt that we’ll see much of Wasp (or Lilly as Wasp) after Ant-man 3.

Well Well Well, cant say I am surprised. hollywood has many extreme right wingers who just like to lay low until the right time they feel it is best to come out.

Ironically I said here about 2 weeks ago that I never found Wasp to be an interesting female character, so if Disney were to axe her of the films. Nothing much will be lost.

Also she attended the rally where RFK Jnr compared the vaccine to Anne Frank and the Holocaust.

Like.... what is wrong with this people. why do they keeping trying to create a disgusting false metaphor with the vaccine and its mandate by comparing it to the holocaust or slavery. the ignorance is just pathetic.

Evangeline Lilly is now walking on a thin line, any other ooc behaviour from her where she spreads misinformation that put people at risk and disrespects a group of people like the Jewish people, I will find little faults if Disney fires her from the Wasp role.

Sad to see. but it wont stop me from seeing any of the Ant Man or Marvel Movies she is in. I like her in the films and think she did a decent job.

It will always amaze me how much the average person will let celebrity culture impact their personal lives.

[j9ac9k]

I couldn't care less. It doesn't affect their acting.

[GOLGO 13]

She is free to take whatever brave action she wishes. She will deal with those consequences just as bravely.

I'm sure...

It is because we as a culture put Celebs above us. We have those entertainment shows that go over what the stars are doing, who they are dating etc.. And not just actors and such but these Youtube people and Tiktok influencers. There is that magazine that has that dumb section "Stars are just like us." Where they have pictures of celebs pumping gas, or walking their dog, or buying groceries at a store as if they are so far above doing such things it has to be pointed out when they do them like us common folk.

Celebs have this much power because we give them this much power. And sadly there are people who will change what they do and how they believe because of it.

Celebs have this much power because we give them this much power.

100% this.

Were RFK Jr.'s views on the environment also worthless? He may be an enemy of the vaccines but he is a true friend of the environment. He did admirable work on the environment. While I respect his work on protecting the environment, I do not agree with his views on vaccines.

some members of the Kennedy family, including his wife have spoken out against his views on the vaccines. The Kennedy Family has taken pride in their history as advocates of public health and promoters of immunization campaigns to bring life-saving vaccines to the poorest and most remote corners of America and the world, where children are the least likely to receive their full course of vaccinations.

Here is an excellent article written by two of RFK Jr.'s siblings and his niece on the fallacy of his anti-vaccine crusade, calling him "Tragically Wrong About Vaccines".

https://www.politico.com/magazine/st...ccines-226798/

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy urged the 80 million Americans, including almost 5 million children, who had not been vaccinated for polio to receive the Salk vaccine, which he called “this miraculous drug.” In the same year, he signed an executive order creating the U.S. Agency for International Development, which has spent billions of dollars over the past decades in support of vaccine campaigns in developing countries.

President Kennedy signed the Vaccination Assistance Act in 1962 to, in the words of a CDC report, “achieve as quickly as possible the protection of the population, especially of all preschool children ... through intensive immunization activity.” In a message to Congress that year, Kennedy said: “There is no longer any reason why American children should suffer from polio, diphtheria, whooping cough, or tetanus … I am asking the American people to join in a nationwide vaccination program to stamp out these four diseases.”

While serving as attorney general, Robert F. Kennedy promoted community empowerment models to address urgent social needs like better health care, leading to the development of community health centers, which our uncle Ted Kennedy championed throughout his long career in the Senate. Community health centers have been on the front lines of vaccination campaigns for more than 50 years in rural America, in inner-city neighborhoods and on Native American reservations to immunize our most vulnerable populations.

He believed that some of the vaccines were connected with mercury that caused harmful effects on the planet's ecosystem.

Barbara A. Perry, director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center and a Kennedy family scholar, said she suspected Robert Kennedy Jr.’s opposition to vaccine mandates came from his work as an environmentalist.

He has campaigned against pollutants, such as mercury, that contaminate food sources, Perry said in an interview. “Clearly he doesn’t want people poisoned in the environment by pollutants,” she said. “In his mind, I guess, it’s a pretty easy step to [think] not poisoning the body through vaccination.”
