Ketchell said they were surprised to see that a number of appointments were actually available for Wednesday, and Schwarzenegger signed up for a slot at 8:50 a.m. He was greeted at the stadium by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who was personally checking in cars arriving for appointments and had no prior knowledge of Schwarzenegger’s arrival, according to Ketchell.

“All right, I just got my vaccine, and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone,” Schwarzenegger said in a Twitter video shot from the passenger seat of an SUV.

“Come with me if you want to live,” he added, using a famous catchphrase from his “Terminator” movies.
