Column: Eric Clapton's not God, just another vile anti-vaxxer (via latimesopinion)

The music people adore when they’re young often crystallizes their identities and unlocks oceanic feelings. It’s easy to latch onto certain songs, become defensive about their brilliance and refuse to let go.

For these believers in Clapton’s divinity, you can criticize the man — and there is more than anti-vax politics to object to — but hands off the music. On Wednesday, Clapton announced that he won’t play in venues that require audiences to show proof of vaccination. Clearly old Slowhand is willing to create superspreader events, secure in the knowledge the coronavirus is unlikely to infect him.“Bravo, Eric Clapton. Artists should defend individual Liberty.”

opinion Tonto.

opinion I don’t know if Clapton is “vile” or not because this piece is so vile that I can’t trust the 3% of information when it is saturated with slimy adjectives, ad hominem attacks, and mischaracterizations — including calling him an anti-vaxer when he himself is vaccinated.

opinion This is a stupid headline…he got vaccinated. He’s not anti-vaxxer, he just spoke about his own experience 🤔
