Shang-Chi' star Simu Liu voices support for vaccines after revealing he lost grandparents to Covid
Simu Liu, the star of Marvel’s “Shang-Chi,” is voicing his support for Covid-19 vaccines after revealing he lost his grandparents to the virus.
Liu took to Twitter, writing, “I lost my grandparents to COVID last year. They were still waiting for their vaccines. I’m fortunate to have been double-vaccinated and boosted when I got COVID 2 weeks ago. Felt like a cold. The media needs to stop spotlighting opinions that are not rooted in facts or science.”
yeah, I will take my martial arts master over a wasp any day.
#you dropped this king 👑#simu liu#i just love him okay#i knew that his grandparents passed away last year but i had no idea that it was due to covid#my heart seriously breaks for him because he was so close with his grandparents#they basically raised him until he was five#i can’t even imagine how incredibly painful that loss must’ve been for him#to lose some of the most important people in your family all while you’re finally achieving the success you’ve worked so hard for#💔💔💔#but i am so proud of him for speaking out about this#so many people would still be alive today if they would have been able to get the vaccine sooner#that’s why it’s so infuriating to me that there are actually people who don’t want to get vaccinated#the fact that some celebrities are actually using their platform to purposely spread false information#and are discouraging others from getting vaccinated themselves is truly infuriating#don’t even try to argue with me#don’t give me that ‘my body my choice’ bullshit because i am NOT HERE FOR IT#it’s amazing how the same people who believe abortion should be banned are also often the same people who are against vaccines#it is truly fucking insane#as simu said — PLEASE appreciate the fact that you’re still alive#so if you can get the vaccine then PLEASE DO IT#we are in the middle of a fucking pandemic where more and more people are dying every day#and a lot of that is because people don’t want to do the most bare minimum#which is basically just three things: 1) get vaccinated. 2) wear a mask when around other people. 3) avoid crowds as much as possible#sigh 😔#but anyway#everyone should go listen to simu’s song ‘hot soup’ with 88rising — it’s a beautiful tribute to their grandparents 🥺#this is now officially a simu liu stan blog#important#twitter#covid19
