Emmerdale star James Hooton has caused controversy online after interacting with anti-vaxx statements on Twitter. The soap actor from Carlton, Nottingham, liked three tweets encouraging people not to take the Covid vaccine.
Covid booster jabs ffer the best chance to get through the pandemic and after, health officials have repeatedly said. However, the Sam Dingle actor, 48 - a favourite on the ITV soap - seems to disagree.
The most recent controversial post that he liked on Twitter suggested that only vaccinated people get blood clots, monkey pox and other sudden diseases and viruses. It said: "Excuse my ignorance, but are any unvaccinated people getting Bell's palsy shingles, blood clots, monkey pox, mycarditis, or dying suddenly with SADS? Just curious."
