Evangeline Lilly

Marvel's Ant-Man franchise star Evangeline Lilly took to Instagram, revealing that she was at a Washington DC rally in "support of bodily sovereignty", and protesting Covid-19 vaccine mandates.

"I believe nobody should be forced to inject their body with anything, against their will, under [the] threat of: violent attack, arrest or detention without trial, loss of employment, homelessness, starvation, loss of education, alienation from loved ones, excommunication from society under any threat whatsoever," wrote the actor.

"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," she added.

In fact, nearly every medical body of any merit says there is nothing to fear from the Covid vaccines. Most strongly encourage them including the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centre for Disease Contol. "I was pro choice before Covid and I am still pro choice today," she added.

In 2020, Black Panther star Letitia Wright shared an anti-vax video on social media, then apologised saying she didn't mean to hurt anyone.
