‘Finally got 5G’: Ryan Reynolds trolls conspiracy theorists as he receives Covid vaccine

Actor received his first dose of the vaccine on Wednesday

Ryan Reynolds took a jab at Covid-19 conspiracy theorists as he received his coronavirus vaccine.

The Deadpool actor, wearing a pink woolly hat, white t-shirt and black mask, posted a Twitter photo on Wednesday (31 March) after being administered the vaccine.

“Finally got 5G,” he captioned the photo, in reference to conspiracy theorists who believe – among other unfounded claims – that the rollout of 5G caused the pandemic.

Resharing the picture on his Instagram Story, Reynolds joked “Science is sexy. The hat? Perhaps not.”

Meanwhile, his wife Blake Lively also received her vaccine and similarly documented the process online.

“Find you someone who looks at you like I look at the heroic nurse vaccinating me,” she wrote.

On her Instagram Story, Lively thanked coronavirus scientist Jessica Malaty Rivera for “a year of scientific information and the confidence to make the decision to be vaccinated as soon as it was available to me”.

She also praised CBS News’s chief medical correspondent Jon LaPook, writing: “And thank you @lapookj. The many years of thoughtful and empathetic medical reporting that you do has led me here. I couldn’t be more grateful.”
