The trip was a catalyst for Robbins\u2019 change, the actor recalled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI noticed a lot of people were not adhering again to these requests made by their government. I thought, well, they\u2019re going to have a hard day coming up, that there will be some serious death here,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uMdOesJo4h8&#038;t=228s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> Brand. \u201cWhen I saw that there wasn\u2019t a huge death rate, after I witnessed personally what was happening, I started to wonder more and more about what we were being told and whether it was true or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robbins later revealed to Brand that he heard an anti-lockdown protest nearby one day and went to see what was going on \u2014 and it wasn\u2019t what he expected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw the way that they were being described in the press, and it wasn\u2019t true,\u201d the actor said. \u201cThese were not, you know, National Front Nazis. These were liberals and lefties and people that believed in personal freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also started questioning some of the \u201cscience\u201d being pushed by the press and even health officials. Robbins noted the revelation that the vaccinated could indeed spread the virus, how natural immunity was suddenly ignored, and how the virus affects the elderly and immunocompromised versus the rest of the population.<\/p>\n<p>The idea that leftists in America were calling for the unvaccinated to be denied care was something Robbins told Brand he found asinine and lacking compassion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe turned into tribal, angry, vengeful people,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cIt turned into, \u2018You should f***ing die because you have not complied.\u2019 That is incredibly dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is such a powerful commentary by actor Tim Robbins (in discussion with Russell Brand) on the horrendous demonisation of those who questioned the response to Covid. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TimRobbins1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TimRobbins1<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rustyrockets?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@rustyrockets<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0eRUOADOOM\">pic.twitter.com\/0eRUOADOOM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 James Melville (@JamesMelville) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JamesMelville\/status\/1604809190937186306?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 19, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/oscar-winner-flames-actors-unions-over-discriminatory-covid-vaccine-policies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported in October of Robbins\u2019 pushback against multiple\u00a0actors unions for their \u00a0\u201cdiscriminatory\u201d COVID vaccine policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey @sagaftra and @actorsequity : Way past time to end your discriminatory politics,\u201d he posted to Twitter. \u201cNY Supreme Court just ruled that all unvaccinated NYC employees are \u2018reinstated to their full employment\u2019 and are \u2018entitled to back pay in salary from the date of termination.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/oscar-winner-flames-actors-unions-over-discriminatory-covid-vaccine-policies\">Oscar Winner Flames Actors Unions Over \u2018Discriminatory\u2019 COVID Vaccine\u00a0Policies<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Left-wing Academy Award-winning actor Tim Robbins defended those who oppose vaccine mandates and lockdown measures after admitting he used to feel anger for such people before opening his mind. \u201cI bought into it,\u201d Robbins told\u00a0actor and podcast host Russell Brand. \u201cI was masking everywhere.
