New controversy of Brigitte Bardot for her rejection of the Covid-19 vaccine
French actress Brigitte Bardot was once again at the center of controversy this Thursday after stating that, contrary to what the French authorities recommend, she is not going to be vaccinated against covid-19 because she is "allergic to all chemical products. ".
In an interview with Gala magazine, Bardot, 87, adds that even when she traveled to Africa she refused to be vaccinated against yellow fever, a compulsory injection to enter some countries on the continent.
"My doctor at the time wrote me a false certificate. I went (to Africa) and came back in top form," she confessed.
The protagonist of films such as "Et Dieu... créa la femme" ("And God created woman"), by Roger Vadim, considered that she is in good health.
"Obviously I'm 87 years old, but I don't look it. I don't have gray hair, I'm very thin. I have double osteoarthritis of the hip, I walk with crutches, but if you give me a rumba, a cha-cha-cha, the Gipsy Kings or something of flamenco, I feel like moving...", he added in statements collected by the LCI chain.
The actress has been involved in other controversies in recent months. Last November, she was sentenced to pay a fine of 20,000 euros (more than 23,000 dollars at current exchange rates) for racist insults by ensuring that the inhabitants of the French island of La Reunion "have preserved their wild genes."
In addition, Bardot stated that there are "reminiscences of cannibalism from past centuries" that "should be prohibited".
In February 2021, in an interview with the Italian magazine Oggi, she considered that the coronavirus was "a good thing" since it is "a kind of self-regulation of an overpopulation that we are not able to control."
In 2018, Bardot also set the networks on fire after stating that most of the recent complaints of harassment in the cinema are "hypocritical cases" and she maintained that many artists "heat producers to have a role."
Bardot is currently focused on a foundation that bears her name and is dedicated to the protection of animal rights in France and abroad, with public statements against hunting or bullfighting.
