Selma Blair told TMZ that she is ‘fine’ with comedian Rob Schneider voicing his controversial ‘my body my choice’ stance on the COVID-19 vaccine.

The 49-year-old actress — who is immunocompromised herself and currently in remission following a battle with multiple sclerosis (MS) — confessed to getting two rounds of the Moderna shot but said she can ‘understand the concern,’ regarding the COVID-19 vaccine. 

The Hot Chick actor, 57, went on a Twitter rant on Saturday in which he urged his followers ‘just say no’ to the vaccine and called it an ‘unapproved experimental gene therapy,’ before writing: ‘#2ndAmendmentIsForThis.’

The Cruel Intentions star was asked her thoughts about the upcoming third vaccination — which Rob vehemently spoke out against as well as any ‘vaccine acceptance.’ 

Selma shared that she had incurred backlash from some people for getting the first two Moderna shots, as she still undergoes chemotherapy for her MS, had undergone a bone marrow transplant, and has an ‘immune system problem.’ 

After speaking about her vaccine experience, the conversation then switched to Schneider — which prompted a few giggles from Selma — as a TMZ reporter summarized his statements, namely his adoption of the women’s rights phrase ‘my body my choice,’ with regards to the vaccine. 

One of Schneider’s many tweets read: ‘Just say no… And keep saying no… Over Half of the US population is continuing to say no to this unapproved experimental gene therapy! ‘My body, my choice!”  

Third shot: 'Just say no... And keep saying no... Over Half of the US population is continuing to say no to this unapproved experimental gene therapy! "My body, my choice!",' one of his anti-vax statements read

More thoughts: 'And these a**holes are going "To keep track of who doesn't want the experimental gene therapy...'"Remember, a government that fears it's citizens is a better government,' he wrote

And a second continued to hit back at the government’s possible door-to-door ‘soliciting’ for ‘vaccine acceptance.’ 

‘And these a**holes are going “To keep track of who doesn’t want the experimental gene therapy…'”Remember, a government that fears its citizens is a better government.’

‘I should just walk away because I’m gonna say something wrong. I’m fine — I’m fine with whatever people say,’ Selma said. ‘We appropriate everything, so I’m not great with the cancel culture mentality…I have respect for everything.’

Selma continued to call the whole situation a ‘minefield’ that she couldn’t ‘navigate.’ ‘I don’t mind what he says at all, but at the same time it’s hard when everyone is hurting from something that’s so oppressive…these shutdowns and businesses.’

And Blair then said that her son Arthur had a ‘vaccine injury when he was very young,’ so she can ‘understand the concern people have.’ 

‘…But I never went anti-vax — not that I mind — i totally understand, but I think we’re in a really tricky spot in the world. Those that can have a responsibility, but I have nothing bad to say about what anyone’s saying.’  

Her boyfriend Ron Carlson then broke up the heavy conversation with a small dig at Schneider. ‘But if Rob Schneider says it then we should live by it,’ which prompted an outburst of laughter from both. 

Schneider had previously spoken out on numerous occasions against California Governor Gavin Newsom, gathering limitations and mask wearing. ‘Vote every Democrat out.’
