c’mon."

One Twitter userwrote, “Thank you for your endorsement of the vaccine, Mr. Freeman.

Your concern for others is deeply appreciated.”

Thank you mr freeman for being a voice of reason.”

However, there were many critics that weren’t easily persuaded.

One user tweeted, “Is Morgan Freeman then liable if I suffer any severe side-effects?”

Anothercommented, “I like him well enough as anactor, as he’s skilled quite within his profession.

I don’t trust him as medical professional or scientist.

He’s not my source for medical guidance regarding experimental treatments.

Sadly, many superficial people believe celebrities re anything.”
