The "Friends" and "The Morning Show" star said
in an InStyle magazine interview published this week that there
was still a "large group of people who are anti-vaxxers or just
don't listen to the facts."
She added that she had unfortunately "lost a few people" from
her weekly routine who would not disclose if they have been
vaccinated.
She was challenged by some followers on Instagram, including
Robyn Law, author of weight-loss book "The Body Plan," who asked
why Aniston was worried about being around unvaccinated people
when she has been vaccinated.
Aniston responded on her account.
"Because if you have the variant, you are still able to give it
to me. I may get slightly sick but I will not be admitted to a
hospital and or die. BUT I CAN give it to someone else who does
not have the vaccine and whose health is compromised (or has a
previous existing condition) - and therefore I would put their
lives at risk," wrote Aniston.
"THAT is why I worry. We have to care about more than just
ourselves here," she added.
Aniston, who has 37.7 million followers on Instagram, rose to
fame as Rachel Green in U.S. television sitcom "Friends" from
1994 to 2004. It followed a group of six New Yorkers in their
20s and 30s.
