Zachary Levi has promoted Jordan Peterson on Joe Rogan’s podcast and now is promoting vaccine conspiracy theories on social media. Not every actor is going to have the same political views, but his tweet and who he’s promoted is very dangerous

I listened to an hour of Zachary Levi on a recent podcast and he was teeth gnashingly thick, spouting the pseudo-wisdom of a suburban teen who watched Bill Hicks specials.
So it's no surprise at all he's tweeting anti vax shit.

Where they have "authentic" conversations that is right wing rhetoric

To everyone pointing out that @ZacharyLevi's tweet might NOT be anti-vax but instead refer to legit criticism of drug companies, I bet this could be cleared up pretty quickly if he just said "everyone should get their vaccine!"
…but he won't.

Listen, I want to believe that Zachary Levi was talking about how Big Pharma is ruining people’s lives with cruel business tactics, I really do.
But y’all really think he Quote Retweeted a militant anti-vax account by accident cause he misunderstood the question? Be for real.

Hours later, he revealed some very sad personal news.
