Black Panther‘s Letitia Wright and the actress behind King T’Challa’s sister, Shuri, recently came under fire for sharing an anti-vaccination video on Twitter.
The clip in question also apparently included transphobic comments, which further enraged folks on social media. We don’t know if Wright watched the entire video before posting it on her personal feed, but by the time she or her publicists could do anything about it, people had taken it upon themselves to blast the actress for promoting fraudulent and unfounded facts about the Covid-19 vaccine.
While the global community has tolerated the outbreak of the deadly infectious disease for more than a year now, we knew that a lot of pharmaceutical companies and research groups have been developing their own version of a vaccine that would provide immunity against the Sars-CoV-2 virus. And after completing human trials, some of these products are now being prepared for mass distribution.
