The Iran-born Armenian star moved to the U.S. at age 23 and landed his first Hollywood role in 1978.

In the months before his death, Mangassarian had frequently expressed his opposition to COVID-19 vaccines and veered into truther territory, posting memes to Facebook that suggested the pandemic was part of a grand conspiracy.
In one post from September 2021, the actor posted a photo of a parody news report saying that millions test positive for Sheeple 19.

(14,959 posts)As of last month, the Covid-19 weekly death rate for people in the US 65+ was 0.5 per 100,000 for vaxxed&boosted versus 44 per 100,000 for the unvaccinated. You're literally 90 times more likely to die from it at his age if you don't get vaxxed.
Another online mortality calculator I found, using data from the UK, put someone his age/gender/ethnicity/height/weight (latter two just guestimated by me) and unvaxxed having a 1 in 8 chance of dying once they return a positive Covid test. And that is without any other medical conditions.

What a giant waste of life. I don't understand these conservatives anymore.
