Eric Clapton sings against vaccine and health restrictions

If you feel that Eric Clapton is the most qualified person to assess the management of the health crisis, his last piece might interest you. The artist has indeed released This Has Gotta Stop, literally “This must stop”, in which he seems to get angry at the measures taken by the British government to contain the pandemic.

If he doesn’t directly name the anti-Covid measures as the target of his anger, the words are clear: “I can’t take any more of these c * nneries, it’s gone on long enough / If you want to take my soul, you I’m going to have to break that door ”, or“ I knew it was going to go wrong / When you tried to impose your law / I can’t move my hands anymore / I’m sweating ”. The cult singer had denounced in an interview for Rolling Stone the devastating effects the vaccine had on him.

“I took the first injection of AstraZeneca and immediately had a severe reaction that lasted for 10 days… The reactions to the second injection were disastrous. My hands and feet were either frozen, numb, or hot, and they were virtually unusable for two weeks, I was afraid I would never play again, ”he explained.

No discrimination

Eric Clapton had also announced that he would refuse to play in any concert hall that requires proof of vaccination or the equivalent of a public health pass. “I will not play where the public will be discriminated against”, he explained after the announcement of the British government on the vaccine passports which will be requested at the entrance of nightclubs and theaters from the end of September. Last year, Eric Clapton had already partnered with Van Morrison on the track Stand and Deliver, who opposed containment.

On social networks, the reaction to the new title of the blues star has been mixed for the moment, many Internet users not hesitating to make fun of the “boomer” Eric Clapton. “Imagine having been high on heroin and cocaine half of your life but deciding that wearing a mask is going too far”, thus
answered a tweetos, in reference to the star’s avowed drug addiction. Another has
added : “For years, Eric Clapton ingested massive doses of cocaine, heroin and alcohol just to get high, but he thinks the vaccines that protect against a deadly virus are too dangerous for people because he had a bad reaction to one of them. “
