Many wrote that this was insensitive of him as he was trying to make money during the pandemic. People were angry and said that he could’ve just spread a word of awareness instead of trying to endorse his own merch. “You are trying to earn money from this? Making a shirt based on the vaccination message is not cool. I am SO not impressed,” wrote a Netizen.
The internet was divided on this. While some were angered, some supported him. “Well, this is bringing awareness and if a man wants to make some money while at it, then what’s the harm. I will order the T-shirt,” read another comment.
Well, what do you think?
