Isabel Lucas has revealed that she is not ‘anti-vax’ – just against the Covid-19 vaccine. In a comment shared on her Instagram this week, the former Home and Away star, 36, said she is ‘pro-choice’.
‘To be transparent, I have actually been vaccinated my whole life, I’m pro-choice‘ she wrote.
It comes after the star joined hundreds of anti-vaxxers at a rally to protest Australia’s Covid-19 vaccine mandates at the New South Wales-Queensland border last week.
She followed the event’s memo to ‘wear white in solidarity’, and shared photos of her fellow anti-vaxxers to her Instagram Stories.
The protest was part of a series of rallies across the country against mandatory Covid-19 vaccinations for certain industries and occupations.
Last year, Isabel hit headlines when she shared dangerous anti-vaccination views on Instagram while commenting on a post by conspiracy theorist Pete Evans.
Throwing her support behind the former MKR judge, she wrote: ‘Freedom of choice is every human’s right. I don’t trust the path of vaccination.‘ Isabel later clarified her remarks on Instagram, saying she has ‘concerns around “mandatory” vaccination, not vaccination itself’.
Isabel has a long history of activism dating back to 2007, when she and fellow actress Hayden Panettiere joined activists on surfboards to try and stop a pod of dolphins being slaughtered in Japan.
In 2020, Isabel also attended a ‘peaceful’ anti-5G protest in Byron Bay, marching from the Jing Organics health food store to the proposed location of a 5G tower.
