If Celebrities Want to Keep Fans, Polling Shows They Should Mask Up and Get Vaccinated

Social media users have been highlighting celebrity failings related to pandemic protocol. Actor Bruce Willis was recently spotted being asked to leave a Rite Aid because he wasn’t wearing a mask, something he reportedly said was “an error in judgment,” and Grammy-nominated singer Dua Lipa has been called out for her global travels while health officials implored the public to stay at home. 

The phrase “Harry Wear A Mask” started trending on Twitter when Harry Styles was spotted socializing in California -- wearing just a bandana over his mouth and nose -- as COVID-19 infections and deaths were skyrocketing in the Golden State. 

And while some social media users voiced their displeasure online with stars’ lack of regard for public health measures, respondents were divided over whether calling out celebrities helped the situation. 

Thirty-four percent of adults said criticizing stars for ignoring health recommendations improves the behavior of all people, while 40 percent said the public call outs didn’t help to improve behavior.
