Jamie Foxx’s rep discusses Covid vaccination conspiracy 2023
Jamie Foxx’s counsel denied that the Covid-19 vaccination “partially paralyzed and blind” him.
Foxx’s team told NBC News the charges were “completely inaccurate.”
Hollywood gossip journalist AJ Benza made the unverified accusation on Ask Dr Drew, presented by Dr. Drew Pinsky, on 30 May. In the podcast, Benza claimed that Foxx was compelled to acquire the COVID-19 vaccine during filming.
Foxx was largely paralyzed and blind after taking the vaccination
Despite Foxx’s officials denying Benza’s accusations, far-right critics have promoted the anti-vaccination conspiracy myth online.
On 6 June, Candace Owens, a political analyst with 1.67m YouTube subscribers, promoted the hypothesis. Owens indicated in “What’s Going On With Jamie Foxx?” that Benza’s story may have “some veracity” because Foxx’s family has not rejected it.
On June 1, Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk tweeted, “Infuriated a decent person like Jamie Foxx fell victim to Big Pharma because a movie set is still dumb enough to mandate their cash cow clot shot.”
After a “medical complication” hospitalized 55-year-old Jamie Foxx in April, his health has been questioned. On April 12, his daughter Corinne Foxx posted on social media that the Django Unchained actor “experienced a medical complication yesterday.”
He is recovering thanks to timely action and excellent care. She responded, “We appreciate your prayers.” The family requests privacy.
Foxx was hospitalized while filming Back in Action in Georgia for Netflix. Foxx’s health was rumored. According to Radar, his friends and family were “hoping for the best – but preparing for the worst” despite most reports indicating the actor was recuperating.
