While she encouraged her followers to get vaccinated as well, some voiced their discontent with her decision and a distrust of the vaccine.
“Nope not putting that in my body,” one follower wrote.
“No thanks! With a 99% survival rate, I shall pass,” another said. “With Bill Gates involved I will not get one.”
“Because of the 99.8% survival rate of a virus they’ve never identified? Anthony Fauci and Andrew Cuomo would be proud,” one follower added.
“Ugh. A vaccine for a HOAX?” replied another.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there have been more than 31 million cases of the coronavirus in the United States, resulting in more than 560,000 deaths.
As of publishing, 37.3 percent of the U.S. population had received at least one dose of the vaccine, and 23.1 percent were fully vaccinated.
