Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu took to social media to reveal that he contracted COVID-19 earlier this year but thanks to being vaccinated and having gotten a booster shot his symptoms were “like a cold.” The Marvel hero shared his experience with losing family members to the virus and his own time with COVID-19 in stark contrast to another fellow Marvel star, Evangeline Lilly, whose social media posts earlier this week derided vaccine mandates and confirmed her participation in a protest in Washington D.C. over the weekend. Liu didn’t call out the Ant-Man and The Wasp star by name but his message arrived after Lilly’s own went viral, calling out how “opinions that are not rooted in facts or science” continue to get the spotlight.
As a @UNICEFCanada ambassador I have seen the organization’s efforts to deliver vaccines to underprivileged families around the world. It’s a reminder of how lucky we are to be living in places where vaccine delivery and storage are not an issue. Please, PLEASE appreciate that.
