Morgan Freeman says ‘if you trust me, you’ll get the vaccine’ in Covid PSA

Morgan Freeman has starred in a public service announcement video urging people to get the coronavirus vaccine.

The 83-year-old actor teamed up with The Creative Coalition and the National Blue Ribbon Task Force in a video intended to help “stem vaccine hesitancy”.

“I’m Morgan Freeman,” the actor says while sitting at home against a backdrop of bookshelves. "I’m not a doctor, but I trust science. And I’m told that, for some reason, people trust me.”

He continues: “So here I am to say I trust science and I got the vaccine. If you trust me, you’ll get the vaccine. In math, it’s called the distributive property. In people, it’s called taking care of one another.
