The British actor Tilda Swinton has stated that she will not wear a Covid face mask on the set of her new film.
Working on a new movie in Ireland, Swinton said of her experience at SXSW Film and TV Festival: “I’m about to shoot a picture in Ireland, and I was told to wear a mask at all times, and I’m not”. Having contracted the virus several times, Swinton continued, stating: “I’m sure this is being recorded. I’ve had Covid-19 multiple times, so I’m full of antibodies and very healthy”.
Most recently lending her voice to the recent ‘Best Animated Feature Film’ Oscar-winner Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, Swinton has been enjoying great success of late. Later in 2023, she will star in a trio of highly-anticipated movies, appearing in Wes Anderson’s forthcoming Asteroid City, David Fincher’s new crime drama The Killer and Joshua Oppenheimer’s musical The End.
Swinton has publicised her struggles with Covid-19 on several occasions, telling The Guardian in 2022: “I was coughing like an old gentleman who smoked a pipe for 70 years, and had nasty vertigo. I got off relatively lightly, but the worst thing is how it affected my brain…I did two films that I had to learn a lot of text for. I’m normally quite quick at studying, and picking stuff up, but this was like chewing a really big piece of gum”.
The actor is best known for her Oscar-winning turn in 2007s Michael Clayton, as well as her bit-part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where she plays The Ancient One, appearing in Avengers: Endgame and Doctor Strange. Elsewhere, Swinton should’ve received an Academy Award in the Lynne Ramsay masterpiece We Need to Talk About Kevin, where she starred alongside Ezra Miller.
Take a look at the trailer for Joanna Hogg’s The Eternal Daughter below, Swinton’s most recent performance.
The continued requirement to wear masks in doctor’s offices, hospitals, and medical buildings is all very calculated.
It lends legitimacy to the mask cult, and plays into the whole “don’t you want to protect grandma?” narrative, which they want to keep going indefinitely.....since grandma goes to lots of doctors appointments.
It’s all part of the “new normal” “safetyism”. The target audience is geezers and the woke youth.
This is why at the age of 61, I have vowed to never get another check up for the rest of my life. I will steer clear of doctors and hospitals as best as I can. No more screenings. No more checking my numbers. I eat healthy and exercise, and when my time comes, so be it.
After COVID, I hate doctors even more than I hate the media and Hollywood.

I am a biomedical-pharmaceutical complex conscientious non-cooperator.
Yeah, she was BAAAAD. Don’t hurt me.
All hail us BPCCNC’s!
“She doesn’t say if she is vaccinated?”
She doesn’t have to, since no one is vaccinated (other than Omicron survivors).
You know what I mean.
What you say about masking in doctors’ offices is true. One of my wife’s doctors has said as much, in practically those words.
I’m 67 and in reasonably good health, though I don’t eat all that healthy. I avoid doctors as much as possible, but once in a while you just have to go, e.g. to get a hernia repaired or some such. Anyway, I’d hate to die years sooner than I might otherwise do, simply because I didn’t get something checked out. I’d feel like such an idiot.
No, I agree. If you have a specific problem, then have it checked out.
I’ve been on low dosage of blood pressure medicine for a long time. So far, I’ve been able to continue getting it through foreign company without having to get a check up.
I was on statin drug for cholesterol for years with no side effects. Then I started getting tendonitis in one shoulder and then the other. I looked up the side effects, and the number one symptom is tendinitis in the shoulders. So I stopped taking it close to a year ago.
My shoulders have gradually gotten better. I’ve changed my diet, which was already pretty healthy, to compensate for no longer taking the pills.
That’s it, I’m done. Not looking for more trouble. Never gotten a colonoscopy or endoscopy. I never want to have one of those pill counting boxes!
Our attitudes are similar. I go to an eye doctor at least twice a year and use eyedrops daily for glaucoma; it’s better than going blind. I don’t get regular physicals, because the doctors never say, “Everything’s fine, just keep doing what you’re doing.” No, it’s all quit doing this and start taking that, and for heaven’s sake don’t have any fun, whatever you do.
If you live long enough, you’re bound to die of something.
