Black Panther star Letitia Wright faced controversy on December 3 after tweeting a video questioning the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine and what’s “really” in it, labeling it with the prayer hands emoji.
The actress defended herself from the subsequent backlash from fans in a series of tweets, lamenting that, “if you don’t conform to popular opinions.
but ask questions and think for yourself…. you get cancelled.” The video in question, from YouTube discussion channel On The Table, has since been taken down. “I don’t understand vaccines medically, but I’ve always been a little bit of a skeptic of them,” presenter Tomi Arayomi said at the beginning of the video, which contains zero medical facts and is largely based on his own opinions.
