Tonya Pinkins anti-vaxxer?????

Since you didn't include a link, I went to her Twitter to scout this out. I don't quite know what to make of her responses, but I'm not so sure that it implies she's an anti-vaxer. It is....something though. I can't quite get a clear idea of what her central viewpoint is. It seems like she takes issue with people getting pressured into getting the vaccine, and she specifically argued that Javi was presenting a "logical fallacy" in that he himself will never be in danger from Osnes because he personally isn't around her? I don't think that was what Javi was saying, but hmm. 

She says things like this: "The strength of the USA is in people’s right to choose."

But then she also says things like: "Because IF @LauraOsnes succumbed  & died, she would simply be forgotten" As well as - "Agnotology and Fanaticism are present in both the #Ant-Vax and #Vaxxed community. No good come from either" 

Really don't know what to make of this regarding her actual position on the COVID vaccine, but it's clear she doesn't like the culture around it on either side.

She made a terrible movie called Red Pill about woke liberials getting killed by white nationalists...so..that should be a big hint

Tonya Pinkins needs to seriously check herself. Javier's open letter to Laura was about having a conversation and not about shaming. So homegirl decides to go on twitter and try to shame Javier? 

She needs to step away from the keyboard, power off all her devices and chill. 

For real.

I guess I’ve been blind to her ignorance. I remember the Tonya who rallied for Off bway wages to be increased so actors and actresses to make a living wage. 
 

it’s sad.

Did you fall off the Turnip Truck yesterday? Ms Pinkins won a Tony for Jelly's Last Jam.

 

Javier is the only one who come out looking good here and he is genuinely interested in a dialogue. Although he is open about it, the man is HIV+ and has survived cancer twice (the latter while still part of the OBC of Hamilton), so he has the best leg to stand on when it comes to speaking truth to power about people refusing vaccines and the risk it poses to people like him who are immunocompromised

^This. Javier knows of what he speaks. As a woman named Kate replied to him on Twitter,he is a class act. One reason among many why I appreciate his recent posts is that my mother is immunocompromised due to an illness called C.diff. She is fully vaccinated,but I still try to protect her as best I can. It's nice to know that someone who is well-known and has a large public presence is using it for good.
