Marvel Had Evangeline Lilly’s Back Over Vaccine Critiques

We were told for nearly three years to accept a dominant narrative about the pandemic.

Masks work. Mask mandates matter. Or else, get vaxxed. Stay home … Except if you are protesting systemic racism.

These stars were not afraid to take risks. Jimmy Kimmel Howard Stern Unvaccinated persons should not be admitted to hospitals. Stephen Colbert & Pink denounce lockdown protestersBusinesses on the verge of bankruptcy and lifelong dreams being shattered are not our concern.

Let’s not forget:

It’s also why actress Evangeline Lilly could have seen her career go down for suggesting another thing.

The “Lost” At a public rally last year, the alum voiced her opposition to vaccine mandates. She also used social media to share her concerns.

“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. I was pro choice before COVID and I am still pro choice today.”

It’s a good thing that the Marvel Cinematic Universe overlords were more sympathetic than Hollywood dwellers.

She did not wait to learn her fate. She took matters into her own hands.

I’ve had direct conversations with them that I have instigated and they’ve always said, ‘That’s not our business. We are not here to tell you how to live life or what opinions you should have. Peyton Reed actually called me at one time and said that he was supportive. He also mentioned that there were rumors about Marvel cancelling you or abandoning you. That didn’t come directly from Marvel, and it didn’t even come from us. So just ignore it.

It is obvious.

Actors who post the most offensive things on social media are rarely, if ever faced with professional consequences. Think Alec Baldwin, Ellen Barkin, Bette Midler You can find out more.

Lilly’s “crime” argued that the pandemic narrative was not bulletproof. Her prediction has been proven correct over time, and Disney brass should be commended for grasping that possibility.
