Jennifer Aniston has explained why she's taken the decision to cut people who don't believe in getting a Covid-19 vaccine out of her life.
The Friends star recently revealed that she's decided not to continue pursuing a friendship with her former pals who are set against getting the Covid-19 vaccines, and - naturally - she's taken a bit of stick for that.
Explaining her decision on her Instagram story, the 52-year-old actor simply expressed her disappointment and said that she's thinking more about the health of other people than anything else.
She shared a disappointed face emoji and wrote 'these comments'.
One of 'those' aforementioned comments said: "But if she's vaccinated she's protected correct? Why be worried about unvaxxed around her? [shrugging emoji]"
That's when Jen decided to jump in and explain her thoughts.
She wrote: "Because if you have the variant, you are still able to give it to me.
"I may get slightly sick but I will not be admitted to a hospital and or die.
"BUT I CAN give it to someone else who does not have the vaccine and whose health is compromised (or has a previous existing condition) - and therefore I would put their lives at risk.
"THAT is why I worry. We have to care about more than just ourselves here."
Yeah, that's fair.
Then, in an interview, Aniston spoke about the 'unfortunate' loss of friends who had been given over to 'fear and propaganda' about the vaccines.
She added: "There's a large group of people who are anti-vaxxers or just don't listen to the facts.
"It's a real shame. I've just lost a few people in my weekly routine who have refused or did not disclose [whether or not they had been vaccinated] ... A lot of people just don't listen to the facts."
Aniston then later shared a slightly more light-hearted - well, only slightly - take on the whole thing, posting a cross-stitch pattern that reads 'what doesn't kill you mutates and tries again'.
Sad, but true.
In that earlier interview, Aniston had said that she believes it is 'your moral and personal obligation' to let other people know if you've had a vaccine or not.
Either way, she definitely has a point. The vaccines are there to keep people from serious symptoms and out of hospital.
Cases continue to rise across the UK and USA, so there's still plenty to be concerned about, and the pandemic definitely isn't over just yet.
