‘Ant-Man’ Star Evangeline Lilly Slams Vaccine Mandate: “Nobody Should Ever Be Forced To Inject Their Body With Anything”

deadline.com:

Ant-Man franchise star Evangeline Lilly took to Instagram, revealing that she was at a Washington D.C. rally in “support of bodily sovereignty,” and protesting Covid vaccine mandates.“I believe nobody should ever be forced to inject their body with anything, against their will, under threat of: violent attack, arrest or detention without trial, loss of employment, homelessness, starvation, loss of education, alienation from loved ones, excommunication from society under any threat whatsoever,” wrote the actress.“This is not the way.

This is not safe. This is not healthy. This is not love. I understand the world is in fear, but I don’t believe that answering fear with force will fix our problems,” she added.“I was pro choice before Covid and I am still pro choice today.”Of course, there are actually relatively few vaccine mandates in place at the moment.

The Biden Administration’s effort to require all federal workers to be vaccinated was stayed by a judge. Members of the military are required to get the Covid shots unless granted an exemption, but then it’s one of at least six standard vaccines required by the service, some of them since the first known cases of the Spanish Flu were discovered at a Kansas Army barracks in 1918.

Lilly is the second Marvel actress to have expressed reservations against vaccines. In 2020, Black Panther star Letitia Wright shared an anti-vax video on social media, then temporarily deactivated her Twitter and Instagram accounts before apologizing and saying she didn’t mean to hurt anyone.
