Candace Cameron Bure tried to clear up her stance on Covid-19 vaccines in an Instagram post shared on Thursday.
The 45-year-old Fuller House star claimed in images reposted from the account @thegirlnamedblake that she wasn't 'anti-vax,' but was 'pro-medical freedom.'
The Hallmark Channel actress wrote that she was 'holding the line and standing up for freedom' after previously blasting vaccine mandates and refusing to share if she was vaccinated against the novel coronavirus, even as more than 708K Americans have died from Covid-19, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Stating her case: Candace Cameron Bure, 45, who has spoken out against vaccine mandates in the past, said she was not anti-vaccine but 'pro-medical freedom' and 'pro-immune system' on Instagram on Thursday; seen in 2019 in NYC
Bure's repurposed Instagram posts were modeled on Apple push notifications, with each reading, 'I'm not anti-v.'
In addition to being for 'medical freedom,' she said she was also 'pro-informed consent,' 'pro-immune system,' 'pro-early intervention,' and 'pro-sunlight, exercise, real food, & vitamins.'
'This is not about what I am against. This is what I am FOR,' Bure claimed in her caption. 'Read and understand the distinction [prayer hands emoji]. This mama is holding the line and standing up for freedom.
'This should not separate us,' she continued. 'We can have different opinions and still respect and love one another. Be bigger than that!'
Simple: Bure's repurposed Instagram posts were modeled on Apple push notifications, with each reading, 'I'm not anti-v'
What she's for: In addition to being for 'medical freedom,' she said she was also 'pro-informed consent,' 'pro-immune system,' 'pro-early intervention,' and 'pro-sunlight, exercise, real food, & vitamins'
Confusing: Some of the statements were unclear, as people who get the Covid-19 vaccines fill out informed consent forms.
Not enough: Early interventions can be beneficial for people who contract the disease, but vaccination is still the safest and most effective way to prevent hospitalization and death from the coronavirus
Puzzling: The American Academy of Dermatology states 'there’s no compelling evidence that the sun or tanning beds can kill the coronavirus in people,' though they can lead to 'age spots, precancerous skin growths, and skin cancer'
The term 'medical freedom' has most recently been adopted by anti-vaccine activists to protest vaccine mandates intended to help slow the spread of the devastating novel coronavirus.
Bure's support for 'informed consent' was more puzzling, as most people who get one of the Covid-19 vaccines fill out informed consent forms
