I pity the fool who disagrees with Mr. T’s vaccine tweet.
Mr. T., a well-known actor, football player, wrestler, soldier, bouncer and bodyguard, tweeted about his experience getting the second Moderna booster shot. The tweet read, “I just received my 2nd Moderna booster vaccine, and I feel good! I am still going to wear my mask and keep my distance because the virus ain’t over, Fool! Grrr.”

Ever since this ask optional thing started I notice I find men who wear masks sexy.
I think it’s because it shows me that they’re respectful, smart, and confident because they DGAF what other people think.— Camilla Bijoux 🫔🥖🍔🥑🌶🍷🍣🌮🍧🍾 (@camila_bijoux) April 6, 2022
I nominate @MrT as the next @CDCgov communications director.

This tweet proves that Mr. T isn’t only about muscle. There is some serious brain power at work here.
Well done, Sir. Well done.

You have been providing a good example to the kids since I was one. Must be some dust in here.

Regardless of how people feel about getting vaxxed, Mr. T’s vaccine tweet opened up a conversation about safety during these times.
According to Prowrestling Fandom, “Mr. T was born Laurence Tureaud. [He’s] known for his roles as B. A. Baracus in the 1980s television series The A-Team, boxer Clubber Lang in the 1982 film Rocky III, and for his appearances as a professional wrestler, most notably at the first two WrestleManias. Mr. T is known for his trademark African Mandinka warrior hairstyle, his gold jewelry, and his tough-guy image. In 2006 he starred in the reality show I Pity the Fool, shown on TV Land, the title of which comes from the catchphrase of his Lang character.”
