Et tu, Woody?

@georgetakei Well, crap. Another celeb I had some passing respect for now forever in the shit-bin.

@georgetakei

He could always just say he doesn't want to act in future. No need to torpedo his career first 🫤🤦‍♂️

@georgetakei hasn't Woody Harrelson been a tool since the 1990s?
@georgetakei he’s always been this way
@georgetakei
The list of celebrities with a sane mind and a backbone grows thinner every day.
@georgetakei I stopped watching him since his SNL monologue on basically the same topic. Anti-vaxxers can fuck right off.
@georgetakei
Frankly, myself, I'm a strong believer in the notion that we shouldn't overburden and expect screen actors to make any sense outside of what is their profession.
@georgetakei This has been who Woody is for a long, long time, his boyish southern charm has faded to the point it no longer seems folksy when he says things like this.
@georgetakei Was AZT perfect? No. In the early days of AIDS, there was a huge need for treatment to stop the endless numbers of largely young men dying from this newly discovered illness. Fast-tracking it was not wrong in my view. It was a terrible time, and many forget just how devastating that diagnosis was decades ago.

@Lomaxcat @georgetakei This is exactly correct. My wife worked at NIH at the time (not in this area though) and it was so heartbreaking and devastating. I still remember the first time seeing the quilt. And tbh I didn't know that many from the afflicted community. But knowing a few was enough to understand how desperate we were to find something, anything, to offer hope and maybe buy time until something more useful came along.

It's not unlike where we are now with Alzheimer's, now that I think about it.

@georgetakei I'm appalled. I'm appalled a lot these days.

@Eetschrijver

So am I, the White House floods the world with a tremendous tidal wave of poo 🙁

@georgetakei

Always disappointing when you find out that the person you thought you admired was just a facade and the real person is kind of a nut job.

@georgetakei that’s one proudly stupid motherfucker right there.
@georgetakei that’s sad, but at this point I’m off US content and people anyway
@georgetakei I worked in clinical trials of HIV meds. 1996 was the year they got effective anti-viral meds. Until then, there were many false starts and trials that didn’t work out. Now we should be saving our indignation for a president who signed off on stopping lifesaving HIV meds for poor people around the world.
