Isabel Lucas has revealed that she is not ‘anti-vax’ – just against the Covid-19 vaccine.
In a comment shared on her Instagram this week, the former Home and Away star, 36, said she is ‘pro-choice’.
‘To be transparent, I have actually been vaccinated my whole life, I’m pro-choice’ she wrote.
It comes after the actor joined hundreds of anti-vaxxers at a rally on the New South Wales-Queensland border last week to protest Australia’s Covid-19 vaccine regulations.
She wore white in solidarity as directed by the event’s letter, and uploaded photographs of her fellow anti-vaxxers on her Instagram Stories.
The demonstration was part of a nationwide campaign opposing obligatory Covid-19 vaccinations for certain sectors and occupations.
Isabel made news last year after she posted hazardous anti-vaccination beliefs on Instagram in response to conspiracy theorist Pete Evans’ post.
‘Freedom of choice is every human’s right,’ she wrote in defense of the former MKR judge. ‘Vaccination is a road I don’t trust.’
Isabel has been involved in activism since 2007 when she and fellow actress Hayden Panettiere joined campaigners on surfboards to try to stop a pod of dolphins from being slaughtered in Japan.
Isabel also marched from the Jing Organics health food store in Byron Bay to the projected location of a 5G tower in a ‘peaceful’ anti-5G demonstration in 2020.
Strange conspiracy theories have been circulating on social media recently, alleging that 5G ’causes Coronavirus’ by’ sucking oxygen out of your lungs.’
Medical and technological specialists have both dismissed these claims.
Anti-vaxxers frequently disseminate conspiracy theories, saying that by ‘raising’ the immune system with diet, vitamins, and sunlight, people might become immune to certain diseases.
Isabel then corrected her comments on Instagram, stating that she is concerned about “forced” vaccination rather than immunization itself.
Vaccinations are critical for preventing the spread of avoidable diseases, and any claim to the contrary defies science and medical authorities all around the world.
The Coronavirus vaccination is a simple and effective way to safeguard the community from the virus’s spread.
In NSW, 94.1 percent of eligible people have received all of their vaccines, with 90.8 percent having received at least one dose.
