Schwarzenegger attacked opponents of wearing masks: 'Screw your freedom! Get vaccinated, wear masks and respect social distance '
Former Republican Governor of California, actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, addressed people through a video message on social media on Wednesday to remind them of the existence of a virus that kills people, and in his efforts to explain to them how to fight the virus, he didn't choose his words.
‘The only way to prevent this is to get vaccinated, wear masks, socially distance ourselves and wash our hands regularly, and not think about how our freedom here has been somehow violated. No, screw your freedom, 'said Schwarzenegger, 74.
The Terminator star says that people wanting freedom is no excuse for not following the rules and draws a parallel with respecting traffic lights on the roads to keep other people safe.
‘We set up traffic lights at intersections so that someone wouldn’t accidentally kill someone else. You can’t say ‘no one is going to tell me to stop at this traffic light’ and go straight through it, because if you kill someone it will be your doing, ’says Schwarzenegger.
When it comes to pandemics, says Schwarzenegger, it is important to follow the rules of experts, but that due to the existence of misinformation, people neglect the basics such as washing hands and cleaning surfaces.
People like dr. Anthony Fauci, Schwarzenegger points out to Americans, has been studying these things all his life and should be respected and listened to.
‘Yes, you have the freedom not to wear a mask, but you know what? You are a shmuck if you don't wear it because you need to protect everything around you, 'said Arnie.
‘I don’t want to make a villain out of anyone here, but I just want to tell everyone that we need to stop fighting each other and start working together because the virus exists and it’s better to get vaccinated and wear a mask,’ says Schwarzenegger.
Schwarzenegger's reaction came after the events in Tennessee when a furious crowd objected after a school board meeting Tuesday night and threatened officials who, after a rise in Covid infections, decided to return masks to elementary school students because Covid vaccines were not yet available to young people.
