Twitter Outraged Over Marvel Actress Evangeline Lilly Publicizing Stance Against Vaccine Mandates

Marvel star Evangeline Lilly started a social media firestorm this week when she publicly denounced COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Lilly had previously expressed unpopular opinions about social distancing in 2020, but now has reignited the controversy by attending a “Defeat the Mandates” rally in Washington, D.C., over the weekend. The “Lost” alum shared photos from the event with her 2 million followers on Instagram.

The caption read in part, “I believe nobody should ever be forced to inject their body with anything, against their will… under any threat whatsoever. This is not the way.”

The Canadian actress wrote, “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.”
