Chris Rock says he has contracted COVID-19, urges people to get vaccinated
Sept 20, 2021: Chris Rock has contracted breakthrough COVID19. The 56-year-old comedian took to Twitter on Sunday to share the news.
Renowned Comedian and actor Chris Rock revealed Sunday that he has tested positive for Covid-19, and he is using the opportunity to urge others to get vaccinated against the virus.
Rock’s tweet came at the end of a week in which another huge star, the rapper Nicki Minaj, caused controversy with a tweet casting doubt on the safety of vaccines for Covid-19.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration has sought out new ways to refute disinformation and reach young vaccine skeptics, earlier this year inviting the teen pop star Olivia Rodrigo to the White House to show her support for the shot.
