The former California Governor wrote on Facebook: "I always say you should know your strengths and listen to the experts. If you want to learn about building biceps, listen to me, because I've spent my life studying how to get the perfect peak and I have been called the greatest bodybuilder of all time. We all have different specialities.
"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. None of us are going to learn more than them by watching a few hours of videos. It's simple: if your house is on fire, you don't go on YouTube, you call the damn fire department.

"If you have a heart attack, you don't check your Facebook group, you call an ambulance. If 9 doctors tell you you have cancer and need to treat it or you will die, and 1 doctor says the cancer will disappear, you should always side with the 9.

"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.

Weakness is thinking you don't need expert advice and only listening to sources that confirm what you want to believe."

It comes after Schwarzenegger's live video of him getting vaccinated also went viral in January.
"I just got the vaccine and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone," he said on camera.
“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 you’re going down a rabbit hole of misinformation.”
The Terminator actor was inoculated through the window of his car at a drive-thru mass vaccination site at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
