“Today was one of those days when a name evolved on Twitter and people got frantic,” The daily show host Trevor Noah said Tuesday night. As he explained to his guest, 83-year-old Oscar winner Morgan Freeman, “people think one of two things has happened: the person is dead or the person wants him or her dead.”
Freeman, who experienced the latter a few years ago when he faced his own #MeToo complaints, tended this week for a third reason. He lent face and words to a new PSA urging all Americans to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
“I’m not a doctor, but I trust science. And they tell me that, for some reason, people trust me, ”the actor says in the short video. “Therefore, I am here to say that I trust science and that I have received the vaccine. If you trust me, you will get the vaccine. “
He was further pointed out in his interview with Noah, saying that instead of having a death wish, he would only wish that “those people who refuse to do these changed traits change their minds and realize that this is a of those things we really have to do. “
“I really don’t understand, to be honest, anyone who has any issues with the idea of getting vaccinated against this scourge,” he continued. “The facts lie. We know all these dead people are dead and they weren’t hit by trucks or anything. It was this pandemic.”
So with that in mind, Freeman said he would “strongly recommend, go do scary cheats.” If they decide not to, he added, “I will have to avoid you and I will.”
“I will have to avoid you and …”
Morgan later addressed some of the specific reluctance of the black community due to a story that includes Tuskegee’s experiments. “That’s easel!” he said, crushing Noah. “I do not think so. This is ridiculous. This is a whole new world, a whole new society, a whole new group of people, and that’s real here. It is not something that someone has invented as a test to see how we will react to it.
And to anyone who has criticized him for taking a stand on vaccines, Morgan said, “I’m trying to keep the peace, keep me on the ground. Do what you have to do and I will do what I have to do ”.
“Get the shot,” he repeated. If for no other reason, he added, “Help me protect myself.”
