Actor Woody Harrelson has come under fire for making a joke about coronavirus vaccine mandates during his monologue as host of Saturday Night Live, in which he compared pharmaceutical companies to drug cartels.
Harrelson, taking on SNL duties this week for the fifth time in his career, told a parable about the “craziest script” he has ever read.
Watch Below:
“So the movie goes like this,” Harrelson said. “The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world to stay locked in their homes.”
“And people can only come out if they take the cartel’s drugs and keep taking them over and over,” the True Detective star added. “I threw they script away. I mean, who was going to believe that crazy idea? Being forced to do drugs? I do that voluntarily all day long!”
Harrelson was quickly attacked on social media and by various entertainment news outlets.
“Thank you, @nbcsnl, for Woody Harrelson’s insipid anti-vax monologue,” one Twitter user reacted.
