Tom Hanks Son, Chet, Goes Off Daddy's Script, Flames COVID Vaccination

Oh boy, is Thanksgiving dinner going to be interesting at the Hanks home this week.

Chad Hanks, the younger son of Tom Hanks, who had COVID and got over it as if it were the flu, had a few words yesterday for those pushing vaccine mandates for everyone.

“Look, I’ve been kind of on the fence about this for a while," says the 31-year-old son of actors Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. "That’s why I never spoke on it, but with the amount of people that I know recently who have gotten COVID and with, like, the numbers rising, I think it’s important for me to say I got the vaccine.

“I think everyone should. I think it’s really important that we all do this just as citizens — as Americans — we have to look after each other and get this s— under control, guys," he continues.

Then Hanks blurts out a loud "PSYCH!"

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” he shouts. “I’ve never had COVID. They ain’t sticking me with that m— needle. It’s the m— flu. Get over it.”

And he adds a blast for folks who are concerned about the spread.

“Why are we working around y’all? If you’re in danger, stay your ass inside! I’m tired of wearing the m— mask!,” he concludes.

Hanks echoed the sentiment in his Instagram story, where he posted, "The vaccine should be a choice not a requirement to perform our basic rights yeah I said it !!!!! Be as mad as you want IDGAF !!!!"
