Leonard Nimoy has been dead for seven years since he played a role in the 2019 coronavirus disease “star journey”, but his character will soon appear on the billboard next to you as part of an expanded campaign to encourage cvid-19 vaccination.
The first round of activities was organized by Nimoy’s family and the Los Angeles health care plan and supported by Viacom CBS. The activity has been carried out in Los Angeles since May last year. One billboard design is characterized by Nimoy playing Mr. Spock, paying tribute to the God of fire with separated fingers under the title “save mankind: vaccinate! This is a logical thing”. Another design shows the masked humans in Star Trek and makes full use of Spock’s slogan of “long life”.
Julie Nimoy, the actress’s daughter, said at a news conference that “live a long life and prosper” conveyed a message my father firmly believed – not only for longevity and health, but also for peace, tolerance, diversity and unity. “. “This project is actually a continuation of his lung health mission.”
“The campaign in Los Angeles is just the first stop,” Julie Nimoy’s husband David Knight told kiquill in an email
“New billboards in New York, Boston, Chicago, Seattle and Miami are already under discussion,” Knight wrote. “In addition, we are currently discussing with the World Health Organization to increase billboards dedicated to vaccine equity in major cities in the world.”
Knight and his wife are in charge of the Nimoy Knight foundation, a non-profit organization that aims to raise awareness of lung disease and prevention in tribute to Leonard Nimoy. The foundation also built a Vulcan salute statue outside the Boston Science Museum.
Last month, Julie Nimoy borrowed a sterling silver “life long and prosper” necklace from Jeff Bezos’s blue origin space venture as a follow-up to Star Trek Captain William Shatner’s space flight in October.
