Isabelle Daza draws flak from netizens for ‘vaccinated by Pfizer’ cap

Netizens called out Isabelle Daza over her now-deleted post that showed her and husband Adrien Semblat wearing caps with the words, “vaccinated by Pfizer.”  

Isabelle and Adrien received their COVID-19 vaccines in Hong Kong, where they are currently residing.  

In Hong Kong, residents can choose between COVID-19 vaccines Sinovac or Pfizer-BioNTech for their jabs.  

While the actress’ controversial post has already been deleted, netizens continued to circulate the photo as they discussed how “flexing” the vaccine they received turned into a matter of social status. 

A Twitter user said the couple’s move was done in “poor taste” since they are flaunting a vaccine that is not available to their audience on social media.  

They’re not, they bought them from soloclubapp. Supposedly for a good cause but in really poor taste considering they’re flaunting getting a vaccine that isn’t even available where most of their fanbase is. Di ba pwedeng magdonate nalang sila lol

The Pfizer vaccine is not available in the country where majority of their fanbase are so yes this is them flaunting their privilege. Context matters

Others defended Isabelle, explaining that a portion of proceeds from the cap by Solo Club will be donated to causes fighting the COVID-19 outbreak in India.  

The 33-year-old received her first dose of the vaccine on May 20.  

In the Philippines, most local government units (LGUs) refrain from announcing vaccine brands to avoid mass gatherings.
