Letitia Wright is in hot water after she posted a video that questions whether people should take a COVID-19 vaccine when it becomes available.

The “Black Panther” actress, 27, shared the video on her Twitter account Thursday along with a praying hands emoji. By Friday, the video was removed.

In the hour-long video, from the YouTube channel “On The Table,” the host says he doesn’t know if he’s going to take the vaccine.

Others were quick to respond to the post.

Actor Alex Sawyer wrote, “This is a frustratingly irresponsible use of a platform.”

“That was filled with hyperbole and zero evidence for his hot takes,” user @kgal1298 said.

“Cancel Black Panther 2 immediately,” user @boss_htown said, referring to the upcoming Marvel sequel to the Oscar-nominated 2018 superhero film.
