Is Jennifer Aniston vaccinated? 'Friends' star bullied and branded 'liberal Vax-hole'
Everyone is wondering if Jennifer Aniston is vaccinated after she revealed in a recent interview that she was bullied and called a "liberal Vax-hole” for advocating that people take the Covid-19 shots.
The actress, who graced The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment issue this month, said she had only been to about five different restaurants since the start of the pandemic. This was because she only visited establishments that required proof of vaccination to enter. "You know, someone literally called me a 'liberal Vax-hole' the other day. I don’t understand the disconnect right now, being bullied for wanting people not to be sick? I mean, that’s what we’re talking about," she said.

The 'We're The Millers' actress also added that the pandemic had made it easier for her to disengage. "I used to be like, 'Let’s go to dinner,' and now I’m like, 'No, let’s not. Come over, come over, come over,'" she said.
Is Jennifer Aniston Vaccinated?
As of May 7 this year, Aniston is 'fully vaccinated'. The 'Friends' actor took to her Instagram handle to share a picture of herself and revealed that she has received the second jab of the Covid-19 vaccine.
"Fully vaccinated and it feels soooo good. We are extremely lucky and privileged to have access to Covid-19 vaccines in the U.S. right now. Unfortunately, that’s not the case everywhere... and as we know, the health of one of us affects all of us. Thinking about those who do not or will not have the opportunity to get vaccinated and hug their friends and family. See more in my bio for ways to help those who need it during this crisis," Aniston wrote.
In an August interview with Instyle magazine, Aniston had also elaborated on how she cut off her friends who had not gotten vaccinated. "There's still 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], and it was unfortunate. I feel it's your moral and professional obligation to inform, since we're not all podded up and being tested every single day. It's tricky because everyone is entitled to their own opinion - but a lot of opinions don't feel based in anything except fear or propaganda," she said.
Aniston bullied for getting vaccinated
The IG post where she celebrated her second shot was flooded with a number of negative comments from anti-vaxxers. "Nice one eye symbolism for your masters," one of them wrote, while another said, "You are an Elitist snob!!! My natural immunity is 27 times better than your jab Jen! BTW the vaccinated can still get covid so the next time you look down your nose at the unvaxxed remember you can get covid too! Have fun with your experimental poison and keep discriminating because the unvaxxed are better off without your supercillious attitude!"
A third stated: "Who cares.... btw some say you're now a super spreader. In any event, I hope you stay healthy and well. To me, your medical stuff should be private. Also everyone has the right to chose...PRIVATELY. Sadly, your making it Vax against the unvax. Pretty much liberal and our country now are suffering from it all. 3 years and counting...hopefully we will survive the demons."
Aniston had shut down her trolls on her Instagram Stories by giving a practical answer to why she was worried about the anti-vaxxed, given that she had been vaccinated. "Because if you have the variant, you are still able to give it to me," she said. "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."
