Only if it conforms to the approved narrative.

Thinking someone should be able to discuss his negative experience with the vaxx without being smeared is crying in your basement per these poor SOBs who do not question the story the elites are feeding us.

You know, because they are the smart ones, the caring ones

Clapton’s “very real and serious side effects” were symptoms of a medical condition — peripheral neuropathy — that Clapton has suffered from for decades.

Vaccination often temporarily suppresses your immune system as the body develops an immune response to the novel proteins. This can cause symptomatic flare-ups of unrelated medical conditions.

If, like Clapton, you have a chronic medical condition, you should talk to your doctor about it and what it means for you in the context of vaccination. In Clapton’s case, he’s totally fine now but seems to be scaring others unnecessarily.

Clapton's only brilliance is in playing music, he's pretty average at anything and everything else.

I support Clapton and his strong stance against the regressive, authoritative Left by not playing venues that require vaccinations.

I also support Jack Nicklaus for his support of Trump - that's news to me.

Week's tally:

Eric Clapton - 1

Jack Nicklaus - 1

Molly Seidel - 0

I was a fan of his music but clearly a deeply flawed personality - a heroin addict whose biggest hit was about lusting after another man's wife.

Did you really expect an avowed racist and adulter to be anything but an anti-vaxxer? Come on now, let's not be naive.

i saw clapton in birmingham in 1988.

A friend said; its just going to be middle aged hippies and boring as hell.

well, he managed to play the slowest verisons of layla and cocaine i had ever heard. it was appalling.

clapton needed to die in late 1977 after slowhand.

This is a bummer. All of the members of Cream now dead to me.

LOL. Good one, bro.

If i was going to boycott anyone's music, it would be a sacrifice to stop listening to Van Morrison. Clapton, I couldn't care less.

But yeah, public health is not their area of expertise, and I try to keep that in mind.

But it seems uniquely unforgivable when they start trying to dictate the terms by which public admittance would be allowed or not in large scale concert venues. That is not their decision, and I don't feel they are qualified to make those judgements. If he is not comfortable with his role in that regard, best to do what he did and just not play,

Sounds like that decision came about 33 years too late for your purposes, though.

So he shouldn't talk about his experience with the vaccine and side effects with his preexisting condition because it will....scare people?

He SHOULD talk about it, not be called crazy, etc.

There should be a free flowing conversation on this. He's scarring others by sharing his experience? WTF...

I stopped listening to him after he bragged that he shot the sheriff.

I haven't listened to Clapton's stuff in years, but because of this thread I listened to this song. It's kind of boring and doesn't seem to mention anything about COVID or vaccines, as far as I can tell. Any chance this song has nothing to do with vaccines at all, and this is all just a cancel-culture thing?

I can't vouch for Clapton's personal character. But I find it hard to believe Clapton, or anyone for that matter, would write a song about a topic as boring a viruses or vaccines.

They always show their hand in their dotage. Never trust these people no matter how much they say the right things to your face. Most are socialised to think this way.

What is a Clapton album? Lol, no but seriously I like Eric Clapner just fine.

Not as real and serious as the 4.52 million deaths worldwide.

He SHOULD talk about his experience with THIS vaccine. He took AstraZeneca which has had significant issues and does not mean that Pfizer, Moderna, or J&J have the same side effects. The only people who conflate these cases are Anti-vaxxers who try to push the narrative that if there is some problem with some vaccine, or even a specific production run of a vaccine, that all COVID-19 vaccines are affected...

Not true. Sorry the UK isn't on par with the US in terms of vaccine development. We could have probably guessed that, though.
