“It breaks my heart that so many people in this country are willing to snub the very vaccine my family would have taken in an instant.”
“Jungle Cruise” star Édgar Ramírez revealed on Wednesday the devastating toll COVID-19 has taken on his family in Venezuela and begged people in the U.S. to get the vaccines that are readily available to them.
In an emotional Instagram post, the Venezuelan actor said his aunt died on Saturday followed by his uncle on Sunday and a dear friend on Monday, all from COVID-19. “At times I feel like it is a nightmare from which I am going to wake up, but I know it is not,” he wrote. The deaths came just over a month after his grandmother succumbed to the disease. Four months earlier, his close friend and agent also died from COVID-19, Ramírez said.
“None of them had access to a vaccine in Venezuela,” Ramírez said. “Meanwhile, tens of thousands of vaccines are being thrown away in the United States because a large number of people don’t want them. It breaks my heart that so many people in this country are willing to snub the very vaccine my family would have taken in an instant.”
