Woody Harrelson Gives Anti-Vaccine Speech During Opening Of Saturday Night Live And Is Criticized

Woody Harrelson an American actor known in Brazil especially for his role in the “Hunger Games” franchise, was the celebrity guest on the last program “Saturday Night Live “, from NBC, on Saturday (25).

At the opening of the program, one of the most popular in the USA, the actor presented a monologue with references and ironies to the pharmaceutical industry and the prevention of coronavirus .

“The last time I did the SNL It was around Thanksgiving 2019, three years ago, and you won’t believe what happened after the show.” “I went for a walk in most of the city, in Central Park, leaned against a tree and started reading the craziest script.

It went like this: The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy all the media and all the politicians and force the world’s population to be locked in their homes and people can only leave if they take the cartel’s drugs and keep taking them every time more and more,” he said.

Soon after, the actor mocked his own drug addiction that he had for 30 years. “I threw the script away. I mean, who would believe that crazy idea? Being forced to use drugs? I voluntarily do it all day, ”he finished.

Netizens and viewers have been divided over the actor’s stance. If, on the one hand, many believe that Harrelson has mocked those who believe in the anti-vaccine movement’s conspiracy ideas, others argue that the actor is part of this group.

In 2022, when promoting the film “Triangle of Sadness” for Vanity Fair magazine, Woody Harrelson revealed that the Covid-19 prevention protocols during filming were “absurd” and that they made it difficult for him to work as a person “who does not believes in the germ theory.”

In addition, the actor’s name was among the Hollywood celebrities who defended the idea that 5G and the virus were somehow correlated.

Also during this Saturday’s SNL, Woody won an “honorary” jacket from Scarlett Johansson, placing him on the “select” list of those who have presented and participated in the program five times.
