Actor-director Sean Penn, who has spent years hobnobbing with dictators from Venezuela to Russia, said COVID-19 vaccinations should be compulsory, adding that he is “frustrated” by people who continue to resist the vaccine.
“This is one of those things that should be mandatory,” Penn told Yahoo Entertainment during an interview about his latest movie, Flag Day, which he directed and stars in. The two-time Oscar-winning actor compared vaccine mandates to driver’s licenses, saying they are “no different than having everybody being able to drive 100 miles an hour in a car.”
Penn said he is “frustrated” with the resistance he has seen among unvaccinated Americans who are able to receive the vaccine but have been hesitant to schedule their first dose, though he said there should allowances for people who can’t take the vaccine due to underlying health conditions.
“There’s different kinds of hesitancies, and so I don’t think that there’s much excuse to not know the information available anymore,” he told the outlet.
“That’s part of why I think it should be mandatory,” he added. “A resistance that’s just based on a certain kind of… lack of imagination and understanding of anything that’s helpful to the human race.”
Penn didn’t mention specifically that the people who continue to be the most hesitant to get the COVID-19 vaccine, according to an August 4 report from the Kaiser Family Foundation, are Black and Hispanic people.
At the recent Cannes Film Festival where Flag Day was shown in competition, Penn used the virus to make a political statement, declaring that the Trump administration’s coronavirus policies were no better than “gunning down” vulnerable communities “from a turret at the White House.”

I’m going with what the Mayo Clinic says
Yeah, while the CDC considers 12/13 most heavily vaccinated countries to be a travel risk.
Jeff Spicoli’s opinion on anything or types like him never meant a thing to me.
Why do we care what a drunk think?
No thanks, Sean. All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I’m fine.
I don’t.
Drain plug Penn!

I think intelligence should be required for Hollyweirdos that run their big mouths but that isn’t going to happen either.
