The action movie star and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said: “Go to death your freedom” while telling people to comply with regulations designed to slow the spread of COVID-19.
“There is a virus here. It kills people, and the only way we can prevent it is to get vaccinated, wear a mask, keep social distance, and wash our hands all the time, instead of just thinking,’Well, my freedom is interrupted by kindness. Here. No, screw your freedom,” Schwarzenegger said in a video released on Wednesday.
He went on to say that when people’s actions can kill others, people have no right to do whatever they want. He compares compliance with COVID-19 regulations to compliance with traffic lights. He said that both are to reduce the death toll, but most people will not ignore traffic lights out of a sense of personal freedom.
“Yes, you have the freedom not to wear a mask, but you know something: You are a bastard if you don’t wear a mask, because you should protect your companions around you,” he added. “It’s that simple.”
