Singaporean actor Wang Lei, who energetically championed COVID-19 vaccines in a 2021 dance musical commercial, has now taken to TikTok to voice a starkly different message. The 60-year-old performer has stirred the social media pot with his candid declaration, "The new vaccines are out, but we are not going to take it!"
Lei's reasoning has a touch of dark humor: "If I'm going to die, then I'll just die, right?" He suggests he could live longer without the vaccine, rather than risk becoming "half-dead" and burdening his family, labeling vaccines as dangerous and openly discouraging their use.
I’m adding this to our U-Turn Tracker™.
