Eric Clapton insists he’s neither for or against vaccines or Covid safety measures — he’s just for “freedom of choice”

. Nevertheless, the “concept” recently gained traction thanks to Twitter-banned vaccine expert, Dr. Robert Malone, who

at the end of 2021 and claimed people had essentially been hypnotized into believing the efficacy of the vaccine .Clapton echoed the mass hypnosis talking point/rambling during an interview with Dave Spuria of the Real Music Observer YouTube channel last Friday, Jan. 21. While noting that his family and friends were scared and concerned about his anti-vax views, Clapton said, “I didn’t get the memo, whatever the memo was, it hadn’t reached me.

What Clapton saw everywhere was what most people would describe a massive public health messaging campaign encouraging people to get a safe and effective vaccine. But to the musician, these nefarious tools of hypnosis were everywhere, from “little things on YouTube, which were like subliminal advertising” and “the news stuff that was coming out of England… it was like completely one-way traffic about following orders and obedience” .

Clapton added of this deluge of public service announcements, “Bit by bit, I put a rough kind of jigsaw puzzle together, and that made me even more resolute… I felt really motivated, musically. It instigated something, which was really laying dormant. I was playing live gigs up until the lockdown without really being socially involved in anyway. But then these guys that were in power really started to piss me [off] — and everybody — but I had a tool. I had a calling. And I can make use of that.

Time for you to Laylow.

This wasn't your initial response. Do you think we'll forget your antivax rhetoric, like so many did, with your racist rants in 1976?Then used intoxication as your excuse?

Lol. He admitted his young wife and 4 teenage and adult daughters think he's batshit crazy.

I’m very much afraid it’s got nothing to do with music. He’s exercising freedom of speech. Unfortunately, if we choose not to be vaxxed, we’ll have COVID until the end of time.

Your freedom of choice ends where your actions are a hazard to others

That's quite the attempt at an empty, and safe response. He's not for, or against anything such as covid safety measures, but he's also for 'freedom of choice'. So is he for, or against an organized society? Or is it every man for himself? I expected more of a stand from him

Good for him.
