Chet Hanks, until today,
didn't know he existed, but
he exists.
He's the son of Tom Hanks and
Rita Wilson, two individuals who've
had coronavirus early on in
the pandemic.
And he wanted to share his views on
vaccines and masks, let's watch.
>> Hey guys, so
I'm just checking in.
Look, I've been kind of on defense
about this for a while,
that's why I've never spoke on it.
But with the amount of people that
I know recently that have gotten
COVID and with the numbers rising,
I think it's important for
me to say, I got the vaccine,
I think everybody should,
I think it's really important that
we all do this just as citizens.
As Americans,
we have to look out for
each other and
get the [BLEEP] in control guys.
So I suggest to all my followers,
you guys make set an appointment
and get the vaccine first thing
psych bitch.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I never had COVID, yeah, sticking
me with that [BLEEP] needle.
It's the [BLEEP] flu,
get over it, okay?
If you're sick, stay inside.
I'm tired of having, okay?
Why are we walking around y'all?
If you're in danger,
stay your ass inside.
I'm tired of wearing
a [BLEEP] mask.
>> Don't know why he talks
like that.
>> I doubt he's worn the mask that
much honestly.
I feel like his threshold is
pretty low.
>> What makes you think that?
>> The whole vibe basically,
just his vibe.
Is this a cosmic karma thing where
the universe will give
you Tom Hanks, super nice and
makes everyone happy, and then you
got to balance it out some way?
How is he a Hanks?
>> I don't know, I don't even care.
What I do care about though is what
Chet Hanks represents.
And it's a privileged person who
never has to worry about his next
meal, doesn't have to worry about
paying rent, doesn't have to worry
about his kids.
He doesn't have to worry about
a damn thing.
And he's sitting there with
his entitled privileged ass,
discouraging people from
getting vaccinated,
and needlessly dragging out this
pandemic that is hurting people.
It's killing people.
It's certainly messing with
people's livelihood.
It's making people go crazy,
because they need human interaction
and human contact.
And now we're also starting to see
more and more restrictions due to
spiking COVID numbers.
Hawaii for
instance just implemented some
pretty significant restrictions.
Gatherings should be limited to
ten people or less.
>> [CROSSTALK] It should be
an always rule.
Ten is enough.
>> Okay, Mr. anti-social.
[LAUGH] >> No, but I mean,
we're going back to implementing
the kinds of policies and
guidelines that were implemented
early on in the pandemic because
the numbers are rising.
And why are the numbers rising?
Because idiots like Chet Hanks
exist, he's entitled,
he's privileged, he doesn't have to
worry about a damn thing.
And so he decides to spend his time
discouraging people to do
the bare minimum,
which is just get the damn vaccine.
>> Yeah, maybe so easy.
Like a lot of people, I was really
looking forward to White Boy Summer
and it's taken a dark turn.
It had so much potential.
>> That's sure, John, I feel bad.
>> It is, exactly.
Yeah, you just get the shot,
it's super simple.
So again, this goes back to what I
was saying about the other guy.
Every guy is just desperately
looking for some way to seem tough,
that's why he's screaming at
the camera.
He thinks this is how he's going to
look tough.
He's not scared of this thing
because if it's not broke,
don't fix it.
Aside from the 600,000 people who
died, if that doesn't count as
being broke,
I don't know what would.
And he said it's just the flu, but
people get shots for the flu.
Even under the model you're laying
out, the answer is a shot.
>> He's so into himself too.
Let's put that B roll
back up because I
want to point something out.
I'm always amused by people like
this guy who speaks into his phone
camera, but can't stop himself from
looking at himself instead of
looking at the camera,
>> I'll probably do that.
>> So right now he's looking
around, but keep keep watching,
keep watching.
At one point, he's like, I gotta
look at my own dreamy little eyes.
>> You know what I want
people to do?
>> To stop talking?
God.
>> Look into the camera bro,
look into the camera.
He can't help it, he's like, no,
I want to look at myself,
I got those dreamy blue eyes.
Anyway, I don't know.
[LAUGH] >> What I want Tom Hanks to
do is I want him to take that video
and I want him to cut it
before the turn and upload it.
I'm pretty proud of my son.
[LAUGH] >> I want him to go viral.
I assume for the first time in his
life, because I didn't even know
that he existed until right now.
>> Right.
>> I want him to go viral for
the first half of that video.
I want him to be responsible for
some people to go get vaccinated.
>> That would be pretty wonderful.
>> Let's make it happen.
>> By the way,
just to give you an update
on where we're at with this virus.
As of this week, America's
seven-day average of daily COVID-19
cases was more than 107,100,
the highest average in nearly six
months, according to
Johns Hopkins University data.
The last time average daily cases
topped 100,000 was February 11th.
Average daily cases have been or
have seen a nine-fold increase
since early July.
And of course,
more than 66,000 Americans were
hospitalized with COVID-19 across
the country as of late Saturday.
So let's stop for a second, because
not only am I furious with the fact
that healthcare workers, frontline
hospital workers have not gotten
a break for 18 months straight.
I'm also furious that
people who need to go to
the hospital because they have
other medical concerns,- >> Yep.
>> Get turned away because ICUs and
hospital beds are filled with
unvaccinated coronavirus patients.
It's irresponsible, it's selfish,
it's entitled, it's disgusting.
Do you guys feel judged?
Do people feel judged when
I say that?
>> You're shaming them.
>> Do you feel judged?
I don't care, grow up, grow up.
I'm tired of it, it's disgusting.
>> I agree.
