Candace Cameron Bure says she is “pro-medical freedom”

Candace Cameron Bure says she’s not against vaccines.

The brand actress is in favor of several other things: “pro-medical freedom”, “pro-informed consent”, “pro-immune”, “pro-early intervention” and “pro-sun, exercise, real foods and vitamins”.

On Friday, she shared a meme that said the same with her five million followers. She captioned it, “This. This is not about what I’m against. It’s what I’m for. Read and understand the distinction. This mom is holding the line and defending freedom. It shouldn’t be. separate. We can have different opinions while respecting and loving each other. Be taller than that! “

Bure, the mother of three grown children, has sparked an intense debate with the repost. Some of the more than 356,000 likes she received for the sentiment – Friday afternoon – came from recognizable names, such as her Full house dad Bob Saget and fellow Hallmark stars Lacey Chabert, Danica McKellar, Katharine McPhee and Alexa PenaVega. Fans cheered her on in the comments.

But for all the love she received, many commentators were critical, but not all mean. People have asked Bure, sometimes sarcastically, if she takes the same stance on abortion and gives women the freedom to choose what is best for their bodies. They told stories of their own loved ones who died from COVID-19 and lamented that none of the items listed in Bure’s post were able to save them.

What was happening on Bure’s Instagram account is happening across the country. As of Friday, more than 700,000 Americans had died from the coronavirus and about two-thirds of Americans were fully vaccinated, according to the New York Times. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have determined that the injections are “safe and effective,” but the problem remains controversial and, often, politicized. President Joe Biden again pleaded with citizens on Thursday to roll up their shirt sleeves.

The story continues

“We’re going in the right direction, but we still have a long way to go,” Biden said during a speech in the Chicago suburb of Elk Grove, Illinois. “We have a plan. We have the tools. We just have to finish the job. Finish the job. So for goodness sake, for your own good, for the sake of your families, get vaccinated.

Bure herself declined to share her vaccine status in an expired Instagram Stories post, according to Sixth page. But she has been open in the past about her opposition to vaccination warrants.

In July, another post from Bure drew a lot of attention for a different reason. It was a TikTok, set to “Jealous Girl” by Lana Del Ray, in which she was holding the Bible, captioned “When They Don’t Know the Power of the Holy Spirit”. She then apologized and deleted the video. “I was using a very specific clip from TikTok and applying it to the power of the Holy Spirit, which is amazing,” she said at the time. “And a lot of you thought I was trying to be attractive, which clearly means I’m not a very good actress because I was trying to be strong, not sexy or attractive.”
