In a recent TikTok video, Fran Drescher praised Disney for dropping the Covid vaccine mandates on many shows. In the video titled “Way to go, Mickey,” the actress celebrated the company’s decision to no longer require the cast and crew to be vaccinated.
While the actress herself is vaccinated, in the video, she is heard saying:
'To think that every human on the planet can take one vaccine is ludicrous. And to make that one vaccine the criteria for who is allowed to work, travel, dine, go to the theatre is an infringement on the Disabilities Act, the Freedom of Religion Act, and body sovereignty.”
She also shared her thoughts about how she felt that the fear shouldn't turn into "fascism." The actress, who is also the president of SAG-AFTRA, has received nearly 70,000 views on her video in just a few days. SAG-AFTRA is an organization that represents film and TV artists, singers, artists, models, and influencers.
However, as fans and netizens heard Fran Drescher making her point on social media, she received quite some backlash. Several people noted that they were disappointed in the actress' take.
Several others spoke about her earlier work and added that after her video, they could no longer support the 65-year-old actress.
