American popular actress, Jennifer Aniston has expanded on why she has cut off some of her friends who have refused to be vaccinated.
Earlier this week, the ‘Friends’ actress, Jennifer Aniston in an interview disclosed that she “lost a few people from [her] weekly routine” who has decided against having a Covid jab.
Some of her Instagram followers have since heavily criticized her and asked why she was so worried, given that she had been vaccinated.
However, Jennifer has taken to her Instagram Story to explain why she made such a decision.
“if you have the variant, you are still able to give it to me. I may get slightly sick but I will not be admitted to a hospital and or die. But I can give it to someone else who does not have the vaccine and whose health is compromised (or has a previously existing condition) – and therefore I would put their lives at risk”.

It can be recalled that in her interview with InStyle, Aniston said: “There’s still a large group of people who are anti-vaxxers or just don’t listen to the facts. It’s a real shame.
“I’ve just lost a few people in my weekly routine who have refused or did not disclose [whether or not they had been vaccinated], and it was unfortunate. I feel it’s your moral and professional obligation to inform since we’re not all podded up and being tested every single day.
“It’s tricky because everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but a lot of opinions don’t feel based in anything except fear or propaganda”.

In the UK on Thursday, 6th August 2021, the new NHS Chief Executive, Amanda Pritchard urged unvaccinated young adults to get jabbed, saying it is “so important”.
According to the government, more than 46 million people in the UK have received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine, part of the biggest inoculation program the country has ever launched.
“These high vaccination levels have created a ‘protective wall’ sufficient to end legal restrictions on social contact”.

That notwithstanding, vaccines are now being offered to everyone aged 16 and above as well as children over the age of 12 who are at higher risk of Covid.
The NHS website states that vaccines are “the best way to protect yourself and others” against Covid, noting how they reduce the risk of people getting seriously ill or dying from the virus, while also lessening the chances of them catching or spreading it.
However, it also notes that vaccinated people can still catch and spread coronavirus. While mild side effects are common, it says, more serious ones such as allergic reactions or blood clotting are rare.
Well, Jennifer Aniston may have publicly championed vaccines, but other entertainment stars including Stone Roses, singer Ian Brown, Van Morrison, and Eric Clapton have expressed concerns.
Clapton described his experience of taking the vaccine as “disastrous” and blamed “propaganda” for overstating its safety.
It is worth noting that Clapton, Brown, and Richard Ashcroft have all pulled out of a festival appearance over their refusal to play events that require vaccination proof as a condition of entry.
Meanwhile, from the end of September, the government hopes to introduce a law requiring two jabs to go to nightclubs and some other venues in England.
