Model Anwar Hadid says he will “absolutely” not get the COVID-19 vaccine – insisting that the human body is capable of “much more than we think.”
The 21-year-old, who is the brother of models Gigi and Bella Hadid, was asked by an Instagram follower if he would take the vaccine to which he replied, “Absolutely not,” said TMZ.
During the same question and answer session, Anwar was then asked by another fan, “Why are you anti-vax?”
“Either I just don’t get it or I get it and God wants to heal from it and get antibodies instead of doing that process unnaturally. Our bodies were created by the maker to do much more than we think,” replied he.
Anwar was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012, which could put him at high risk of a bad outcome if he catches the virus, TMZ reported.
Some fans have criticized the model’s explanation of why he won’t be getting the vaccine.
“Don’t homeboy get flu shots? What if he gets (god forbid) cancer? Are you not going to help yourself? ” one user wrote.
