There is still a large group of people who are anti-vaccinated or who just don't listen to the facts. It's a real shame. I just lost a few people in my weekly routine who have refused or not disclosed whether they had been vaccinated or not, and it has been unfortunate, "said the actress.
Some followers on Instagram questioned her, including Robyn Law, author of the weight loss book The Body Plan, who asked why Aniston was concerned if she was vaccinated, to which the actress replied: “Because if you have the variant, you can still give it to me. I may get a little sick, but I won't be admitted to a hospital or die. BUT I CAN give it to another person who does not have the vaccine and whose health is compromised and, therefore, would put their lives at risk ”.
Counterproductive decision
Some experts have mentioned that Aniston's decision could be counterproductive, because just as it has influenced millions of women to cut their hair and be like Rachel in Friends, it could also influence millions more to eliminate anti-vaccines from their lives .
"I consider that it is their moral and professional obligation to inform, since not all of us are vaccinated and we are tested every day. It is complicated because everyone has the right to have their own opinion, but many opinions are not based on anything other than fear or propaganda, "said the Golden Globe winner. And despite receiving some reactions, the actress said she remains committed to helping stop the spread regardless of the temporary loss of her social circle.
Associate Professor Joy Parkinson, director of social marketing research at Griffith University, said Aniston's announcement could have unintended consequences. "When you start making a statement as big as that, it can have those kinds of counterproductive effects where people could push them out of their lives instead of encouraging them to get vaccinated," said Dr.
