Jennifer Aniston Parted Ways With People Who Refused To Get Vaccinated

With nearly 30 percent of U.S. adults remaining unvaccinated — and a new Kaiser Family Foundation survey finding that 46 percent of unvaccinated adults have no intention of changing their mind — some of those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 are drawing a line in the sand. Among them is actress Jennifer Aniston, who revealed in a new interview with InStyle that she's cut ties with people in her life because they won't get vaccinated.

"There's still a large group of people who are anti-vaxxers or just don't listen to the facts," Aniston says in the magazine's September issue. "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."

to reconsider?

It seems you are bothered by it, why? A lot of people follow "celebrities", it is good for everyone to have them voice their opinions, most when their opinions may do some good.

She has millions of fans, including apparently a whole new generation of Friends lovers.

...she was under the influence, or something to that effect. So maybe her standards are down too.

I haven’t had to cut off anybody close, but I stopped patronizing a couple of local businesses where employees aren’t vaccinated. Out of principal, more than fear.

She mentions her weekly routine - sounds like she did the same.
