Model Anwar Hadid says he will “absolutely” not receive the COVID-19 vaccine – insisting that the human body is capable of “far exceeding what we believe.”
The 21-year-old, who is the brother of models Gigi and Bella Hadid, was asked by an Instagram follower if he will get the vaccine to which he replied: “Absolutely not”, according to 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 if God wants to heal from it and receive antibodies, rather than do this unnatural process, our body is created by the creator to do so much more than we think.” he replied.
Anwar was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012, which could put him at high risk for poor results if he contracted the virus, TMZ reported.
Some fans criticized the model’s explanation for not receiving the vaccine.
“Doesn’t Homeboy get flu shots?” What happens if he (God forbid) gets cancer? Won’t you help yourself with that anyway? ” wrote a user.
