In January, the actor posted a video of himself receiving his first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. He was given the jab at a vaccination clinic at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles when residents over the age of 65 were able to receive their first shot.
As part of his Twitter post, Schwarzenegger encouraged others to get the vaccine, using one of the franchise's iconic catchphrases: "Come with me if you want to live".
The actor-turned-politician captioned the clip: "Today was a good day. I have never been happier to wait in a line. If you're eligible, join me and sign up to get your vaccine. Come with me if you want to live!"
Schwarzenegger also posted the video to Facebook, writing: "Dr. Fauci and all of the virologists and epidemiologists and doctors have studied diseases and vaccines for their entire lives, so I listen to them and I urge you to do the same.
"In this case, virtually all of the real experts around the world are telling us the vaccine is safe and some people on Facebook are saying it isn't."
He continued: "In general, I think if the circle of people you trust gets smaller and smaller and you find yourself more and more isolated, it should be a warning sign that you’re going down a rabbit hole of misinformation.
"Some people say it is weak to listen to experts. That’s bogus. It takes strength to admit you don’t know everything. Weakness is thinking you don’t need expert advice and only listening to sources that confirm what you want to believe."
