Isabel Lucas reveals why she refused to get a Covid jab and how she knew she ‘wouldn’t get another TV job’ because she dared to lash out at lockdown lunacy that made Australia the laughing stock of the world
Australian actress Isabel Lucas sparked widespread backlash in 2020 after coming out against vaccine mandates and lockdowns amid the Covid pandemic.
And now the former Home and Away star has opened up about her decision to jib the jab, admitting that she knew it was ‘highly likely I won’t work for years if I share this’.
Speaking to Stellar magazine, the 37-year-old said that she had ‘several’ vaccines when she was growing up, but chose not to get vaccinated against Covid.

‘For me, I appreciate, what might be right for you may not be right for me, but it’s not right that either of us are being stripped of the freedom to choose,’ she explained.
‘Our relationship with our body is very personal and it’s deeply complex and so are our choices, and we’re claiming to engage in conversations about inclusion and diversity – you know, gender, religion, sexuality, race – without allowing our beliefs or observations to be acknowledged,’ she continued.
‘The diversity of choice is yet to be included, in my experience.’
Last November, Isabel said that she was ‘pro-choice’ when it came to the Covid vaccine.
She later clarified her remarks on Instagram, saying she has ‘concerns around “mandatory” vaccination, not vaccination itself’.

She received widespread backlash for her stance, and as a result was dropped as an ambassador for the charity Plan International Australia, which ironically champions equal rights for young girls.
Isabel has a long history of activism dating back to 2007, when she and fellow actress Hayden Panettiere joined activists on surfboards to try and stop a pod of dolphins being slaughtered in Japan.
In 2020, Isabel also attended a ‘peaceful’ anti-5G protest in Byron Bay, marching from the Jing Organics health food store to the proposed location of a 5G tower.
