“People seem worried about their ‘rights being taken away’ by being asked to wear a mask,” she wrote. “This simple and effective recommendation is being politicized at the expense of peoples’ lives. And it really shouldn’t be a debate 🙏🏼.”
“If you care about human life, please ... just #wearadamnmask 😷 and encourage those around you to do the same ❤️,” she added.
Her sentiments were seconded by Julia Roberts and Reese Witherspoon in the comments.
