George Clooney Compares Getting Vaxxed To Fighting Nazis

Ocean’s Eleven star George Clooney wants vaccine hesitant celebrities to “sacrifice something for their fellow man” and get the jab.

Clooney thinks it’s “crazy” that some fellow A-List actors are refusing to get inoculated for COVID-19. “It’s stupid. And it’s stupid because every generation in our country for more than a lifetime has been asked to sacrifice something for the safety of their fellow man — get shot, fight Nazis,” he remarked in an interview.

“All that anyone’s being asked here is to get a shot in the arm and put on a mask,” Clooney shamed Hollywood holdouts. “Grow up. Get something done.”

Better Call Saul star Giancarlo Esposito hopes that unvaccinated celebs will skip the sets and go on vacation during the Delta surge. “If you don’t want to vaccinate, go to a small island and sequester yourself,” he commented. “[Otherwise] you’re saying ‘F**k you’ to all you other human beings. We all have to do it if we want to live. I don’t understand how people don’t vaccinate.”

Esposito explained that he lost “dear friends” located both stateside and in Europe, who were otherwise healthy prior to contracting the virus. “The vaccine is the answer. I’m not downing anyone who doesn’t want to vaccinate. Don’t work. Go ride it out somewhere where you’re not going to compromise anyone else if you get it.”

Black-ish star Anthony Anderson, who was interviewed for the same Hollywood Reporter piece, was more diplomatic about some of his colleagues experiencing vaccine hesitancy.

“Each individual has his or her own rights. We aren’t in control of anyone’s body, only that person is,” he asserted. “I’m vaccinated because I have preexisting conditions as a Type 2 diabetic, so I wanted to make sure that I did whatever I could to stave off this pandemic and COVID.”

But Anderson doesn’t judge anyone on what they should or should not do with their own bodies. “I can only govern what I’m doing with mine. As long as they respect me, I respect them,” he added. “And as long as we keep our 6-foot distance and wear a mask, then we can interact and do what we want to do. But it’s not my place to police anyone.”
