“Shazam!: Fury of the Gods” Star Zachary Levi “Hardcore” Agrees Pharmaceutical Corporation Pfizer Is a “Danger”
Celebrities bask in using their platforms granted by fame to promote causes and advocate for or against things good and bad — notwithstanding their knowledge or experience. The latest celebrity to stand up is Shazam! actor Zachary Levi but there’s an intriguing twist. He’s voicing his doubts and caution regarding the large pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

Lyndon Wood, self-described investment guru, tweeted Sunday that he was responding to the question. “Do you agree or not, that Pfizer is a real danger to the world?” — Levi responded with “Hardcore agree” Included with a neutral face emoticon. His post has received over 11 million views so far and was supported by Ethan Van Sciver. He also tweeted back. “Yeah brother!”

Levi posted a follow up with the caption later. “Just one example of what I’m referring to…” The second tweet included a link to An article from the Justice Department Concerning a $2.3B settlement Pfizer received for illegal marketing and promotion of certain products. However, the rub is that Levi’s link covers a pre-pandemic case from 2009.

Although it doesn’t redound well to the company’s reputation and proves a case history of fraud, some are pointing out that the link is old — so old it corresponds to the point in Levi’s career where he was well-known for the NBC series Chuck Other TV roles. He would not make the brief jump to the MCU for another five years.
It’s also clear Levi is walking a fine line here. While he is expressing apprehension about one of the major drug companies, a leading manufacturer of mRNA vaccines, and their honesty, the actor hasn’t explicitly come out against COVID shots — mandated or otherwise. If he is anti-vaccine, it’s a perspective he has been quiet about until now, and can only be a suspicion.

That isn’t stopping Twitter from being suspicious and reappraising past comments Levi made on Joe Rogan’s podcast that were positive toward Jordan Peterson. He is likewise an avowed man of faith which is enough of a stumbling block for a certain segment of the moviegoing population that is leery of people — entertainers and civilians alike — strictly on that basis.
Even religious people can be conscientious objectors to vaccines, even when they are in the medical field. Some brands are said to have been created with parts and cells from aborted baby embryos. Levi could be one of those people or has at least this in mind as he forms his opinion about Pfizer products.

What ramifications these tweets and the Joe Rogan clip might have on Levi’s job as the big screen’s OG Captain Marvel with his next movie on the horizon isn’t clear yet, but there is a case study in how Warner Bros. handled former Mary Marvel actress Michelle Borth’s transient Instagram comment about the January 6th Capitol incident involving shooting victim Ashli Babbit.
