Legendary comedian Chris Rock has now announced that he has tested positive for the coronavirus.
As The Daily Wire reports:
LOS ANGELES — Actor-comedian Chris Rock tweeted Sunday that he has Covid-19. “Trust me, you don’t want this. Get vaccinated,” he urged.
Rock told Jimmy Fallon in May that he had gotten the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine, meaning his current case would be a breakthrough instance of the coronavirus.
He joked to Fallon: “You know, I skipped the line. I didn’t care. I used my celebrity, Jimmy. I was like: ‘Step aside, Betty White. Step aside, old people. Kiss my ass! I did ‘Pootie Tang.’ Let me on the front of the line.'”
Hey guys I just found out I have COVID, trust me you don’t want this. Get vaccinated.

“That’s the food stamps of vaccines,” he joked about the Johnson & Johnson shot. Comparing it to the movie “Titanic,” he said: “I was like Billy Zane on the Titanic. Leo died! Billy Zane lived to see another day. I don’t want to be Leo at the bottom of the ocean. Billy Zane got another woman after that! You don’t want to be Leo. Well, in real life you want to be Leo.”
Was Rock right to back the vaccines, or should celebrities not be involved in such controversial activism? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
