69+1 actress Rose Van Ginkel surprised her co-stars when she said she’d never take a COVID-19 vaccine.
In a media conference, Van Ginkel revealed that she avoids taking medication as much as possible, even when sick.
“Hindi po ako nagpapa-vaccine kasi hindi po ako mahilig sa gamot. Ang pagkakakilala ko sa gamot, para sa mga may sakit, so magte-take lang ako ng gamot kapag may sakit ako.
“Kahit may sakit din ako, parang hindi ako agad-agad nagte-take ng gamot. So, hangga’t kaya kong maggamot, hindi po talaga.
She sees no reason to get inoculated against the deadly virus because she has yet to be infected.
“Since may vaccine po, iniisip ko na wala naman akong sakit, bakit ako magpapa-vaccine?” she stressed.
Janno Gibbs then commented that Van Ginkel could be an “anti-vaxxer.”
Meanwhile, other Viva artists such as Ella Cruz and Baron Geisler have already been vaccinated.
Despite her stance on vaccines, Van Ginkel considers the pandemic a “big thing” because her recent projects, Gusto Kong Maging Pornstar, Gluta, Revirginized, and 69+1, were done during the health crisis.
“Ito nga, nang mangyari ang pandemic na ‘to, parang naging big thing siya sa akin kasi dito ulit ako nag-start na lumabas.
“Itong pandemic thing, isa po ito sa blessing na dumating sa akin dahil ang daming nangyari.” she added.
69+1 is a sexy-comedy movie starring Janno Gibbs and Maui Taylor.
