Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel called for vaccination in a short fun video. The clip is a parody of conspiracy myths, presented in the style of an explanatory video.
At the beginning of the video, Schwarzenegger appears to be choking, and Kimmel tries to save him with the Heimlich Maneuver. But before he gives Schwarzenegger the saving push, he pulls out his smartphone to get advice on social media and do his own research.
In the process, Kimmel gets caught up in a maelstrom of false reports and disinformation. A voice-over is heard saying, “Who knows if Heimlich is even a maneuver? Maybe it’s a hoax.” Meanwhile, Schwarzenegger continues to struggle for air.
As Kimmel continues to read the crudest theories about the Heimlich maneuver, the actor ends up helping himself with a chair back, then says to the camera, “Get vaccinated, my friends!”.
Schwarzenegger had already started to vaccinate in the past. Most recently, he published a clip of how he joked with modified film quotes during his own corona vaccination.
