Ice Cube Walks Away from $9M Paycheck Because He Won't Get Vaccinated
Ice Cube has departed Sony’s upcoming comedy, Oh Hell No, in which he would’ve co-starred with Jack Black, after declining a request from producers to get vaccinated, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
The film is pushing back its production start. Black injured himself in June while filming a gag for the last episode of Conan but is still attached to the project. Sources tell THR the studio is looking to find a replacement for Ice Cube, who walked from a $9 million payday.

R18, a vaccinated person can also spread COVID, or suffer a contagion. What the vaccine does is increase the possibility that the illness will be asymptomatic, and decrease the likelihood of death (even though it is not known up to what percentage any of the vaccines increase the likelihood of a positive outcome after infection).
The main problem is that the effects of most COVID vaccines are not known, as vaccines are normally tested for several years before they are released to the public. This hasn't happened with the ones released in 2020, as you know. However, there is ample proof that COVID only affects children who have co-morbidities, and the Pfizer vaccine in particular does have extremely negative effects on the health of young people (myocarditis being the most frequent) - that is why many people are pushing back against it.
Also, vaccines are not needed for people who have already suffered from COVID, as they have more antibodies than those who are vaccinated. Many people are rejecting vaccines because they simply do not need them. What should alarm us is the fact that so many medical and nursing professionals are openly rejecting being vaccinated, and Fauci has constantly lied and contradicted himself about the pandemic.

Much less effectively.
"A recent preprint study from the Netherlands, which looked at spread in households, found vaccinated people who were infected (mostly with delta) were 63 percent less likely to spread the virus than people who were unvaccinated and infected. And that’s probably an underestimate, because the vaccinated are less likely to be infected by the virus to begin with — another layer of protection against spread of the disease."

R52, Bill Gates has committed to spending billions in order to curing the largest cause of blindness, but also other diseases in Africa. You know Africa? It's that continent that black American celebrities, like Ice Cube don't give 2 fucks about? You know, it's where many of it's countries still have legalized slavery? That country. But you won't hear a word about that type of slavery from black celebs. You won't see them spending a penny of their money helping anyone in Africa. Bill and his ex-wife Melinda are the ones who have been saying for more than 2 decades that the world would have a crippling worldwide pandemic. They actually know so much about public health they could pass qualifying exams for degrees in public health, tomorrow
Bill & Melinda Gates have made it their life's mission to curing diseases like elephantiasis, river blindness, and blinding trachoma, which disable tens of millions of people in poor countries, such as Africa. Their main goal (aside from curing people) is to make the world a more equitable place for more than one billion people. Living in poverty is the main reason Africans are at risk of these diseases, which when not treated cause poverty.
Trachoma is the number one cause of preventable blindness in the world
Ironically, the treatment for River Blindness is Ivermectin. But that's because River Blindness (and elephantiasis) are caused by worms. Not only is Ivermectin a horse dewormer, it's also a people dewormer. In fact, Ivermectin has only been approved for one use in humans, to rid them of worms
You know Ivermectin? It's what Joe Rogan took when he got Covid. You know Joe Rogan? he that's so called comedian that's full of shit. But at least all that shit he's so full of, doesn't have worms. I wonder if his girlfriend, Suzanne Santo got Covid?

Antivaxers never met a cherry they wouldn't pick. Pregnant women are dying in droves because some they give everyone the idea that the vax causes miscarriages. They don't consider that 10-25% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. They just tout story after story to scare women at one of the most vulnerable part of their lives. Instead these unvaxed women are kept alive in comas so that they can deliver premature babies and leave behind motherless kids and widowers left to raise them by themselves. Fuck it, I feel bad about uneducated black people who will see this and die, but let the rest of the antivaxers die quickly at home before they whip up a new variant in their lungs.
