A few weeks ago, Eric Clapton joined a dubious list of musicians who have publicly declared their reservations about vaccines for COVID-19, when he announced that he wouldn’t play at any concert that makes two doses mandatory for audience members. He even shared a link for an anti-vaccine song that he made with Van Morrison, another musician on that same dubious list. This was after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that people need to get a double dose of vaccination if they want to visit nightclubs or music venues. In response, Clapton wrote in a post that he feels “honour-bound” to take this stand since such measures discriminate between audience members. Earlier, he had spoken about how he had suffered a “disastrous” health experience after getting vaccinated for the virus. That’s where his “honour-bound” stance stems from, regardless of the fact that he probably knows as little about the science involved as the Queen of England knows about death-metal music.
