Actor-turned-politician Laurence Fox claimed last week that he didn’t need a vaccine because he had an immune system
Laurence Fox, a former actor who enjoyed a brief flirtation with music, has announced that he has contracted Covid-19, but said he’s “so happy” to be joining the “natural immunity club.”
“In other news, felt shivery and crap yesterday. Turns out I have been visited by Lord Covid at last and have the Omnicold,” Fox wrote on Twitter on Sunday, sharing a photo of a positive lateral flow test.
Last week, Fox, a prominent anti-vaxxer, posted a photo of himself wearing a T-shirt that read: “No vaccine needed, I have an immune system.”
The actor, who is particularly vocal on Twitter, followed up by saying that he was treating himself with ivermectin – which is not an approved treatment for the virus. The drug is often used on livestock as a deworming agent, but has been used in humans in small doses for some other illnesses.
“Not only do you only have to sign a form saying you feel well to get into Mexico, but you can also buy drugs like #Ivermectin over the counter that the vaccinaholics don’t want you to get hold of here,” he wrote, adding “I’m so happy to be joining the natural immunity club. Going to have a nap.”
