Akhenaton denies being antivax even if he does not want the vaccine

Akhenaton is not antivax. He is simply opposed to the Covid-19 vaccine. This is in essence what he said in his first interview since his hospitalization last month, after having contracted the virus, precisely. Invited on France 2, the rapper first wanted to restore the truth about what happened to him when he was admitted to a hospital in Marseille.

“I went through resuscitation but I was not intubated,” he explained, thus contradicting a number of articles and information published in the press. His passage in intensive care would have lasted only “four or five hours”, according to him, to be “re-oxygenated”. He would then have remained under observation for three days. Akhenaton may minimize his time in intensive care, his treatment therefore resembles that of many Covid-19 patients.

Not this vaccine

As for the vaccine, the IAM singer does not want to hear about it. And for good reason: for him, it is not a vaccine in the literal sense. “To be antivax, you must already have a vaccine. And today, European law does not recognize this therapy as being a vaccine, it is gene therapy. I’m not an antivax, I don’t want to get this vaccine, it’s very different, ”he insists.

It should be remembered that, contrary to what Akhenaton argues, not only is the AstraZeneca vaccine a “traditional” vaccine, but in addition, messenger RNA vaccines, such as those from Pfizer and Moderna, have nothing to do with gene therapy. , since they do not modify the structure of DNA.

The same opposition to the health pass, which he does not take seriously and presents as a more “political” measure than a scientific one. “Is the metro without a pass, the train without a pass, scientific?” It’s political. Unvaccinated teachers, vaccinated students, are they scientific? It’s political. The National Assembly without a pass and concerts with a pass, are they scientific? No, it’s political, ”he said, before concluding:“ We must have the choice and have the freedom. Our country has been a beacon to the world, the lighthouse is off. It is the land of lights out ”.
