‘But this post was very embarrassing, shame caught up with the press, this press became conversation, that conversation became awareness, and then that awareness became positive. That’s how I roll. And that’s how I live my life! she continued.
‘It just surprised me that someone would rather see a vaccine go to waste than go to a voluntary arm.’
The day after her selfie to get the vaccine on Friday, Amanda returned to Instagram to express her anger at the ‘shame of the vaccine’.
‘This post was very ashamed, shame won the press, this press became conversation, that conversation became awareness, and then that awareness became positive. That’s how I roll. And that’s how I live my life! ‘ she said
‘Waiting at a vaccination site is not a new thing. People have been doing this since the launch. Sometimes you are rejected and sometimes there are extra vaccines that would not otherwise be used if your arm was not there, ready to go, ‘she wrote in the post.
‘Here is what I will not tolerate,’ she continued. ‘To hear that I did something wrong, that I cheated the system, that I used the privilege of celebrity, that I got a vaccine from an elderly person or an essential worker!
How dare you say that to me or someone who’s already waited in standby ?! These extra vaccines are only distributed after the end of all consultations ”, he added.
‘I will not tolerate embarrassed vaccines!’
