Good on Tom Hanks for normalizing masking, its a really bare minimum community minded practice that you can do while our government goes full fascist/eugenics.

On lui souhaite que sa salle de théâtre soit aussi bien équipée pour l'amélioration de la QAI, que tous les travailleur'euses de la culture soient mieux protégé'es.

On voit encore des FFP2 sur certains sets de films et séries, heureusemt.

"Je joue actuellement dans une pièce de théâtre, donc je ne peux absolument pas tomber malade… J'ai déjà eu le #COVID suffisamment de fois dans ma vie, je n'ai pas besoin de revivre ça. Je porte donc ce masque pour des raisons de santé."

Since the end of formal COVID safety agreements by SAG-AFTRA in 2023, studios and networks have shifted much of the responsibility for protection onto individuals.

“The Open Letter followed an action in AMC’s New York headquarters, where an empty wheelchair was placed with a sign reading ‘Disabled Artists Will Not Be Erased.‘ In October, the artists living with Long COVID reported that no response had been received from AMC or Eric Bogosian’s representatives.”

“In July 2025, the theater makers living with Long COVID released an open letter to AMC Networks and actor-playwright Eric Bogosian, who stars in Interview With the Vampire, requesting transparency about any public relations activity that may have affected visibility of their news coverage.”

“Narrative control of the pandemic extends to COVID conscious artists. The disabled theater makers behind Wake Up and Smell the C*VID: An Evening Without Eric Bogosian, about COVID’s impact on the arts, have been documenting what they describe as ‘patterns consistent with crisis PR suppression’”.

“Another example came from writer and Star Trek actor Wil Wheaton, who contracted SARS-CoV-2 for the first time this September after unmasking at a fan convention. He wrote on Instagram that he had ‘let his guard down’ due to social pressure, calling the infection ‘so avoidable.’”

“When Tom Hanks uses a platform like The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to acknowledge the dangers of COVID-19, it normalizes prevention. And it validates the safety concerns of those with less visibility or bargaining power, but are shouldering the risk and advocacy labor.”

“Tom Hanks’ decision to stay masked places him in a small but growing group of celebrities who are speaking publicly about COVID prevention. Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar posted a masked selfie from the set of the show’s reboot.“

I first read about this a few weeks ago, and I'm not sure I fully understand the full issue, but I think the question is did AMC pay to suppress the search results for their play? Ugly if true.
