Just another celeb well past his prime trying to keep his name in the press.

Tons of older singers still tour.

Clapton has a large family to support. A wife who hasn't thrown him out (yet) and three teenage daughters. I wonder if he's told them what boys really want.

Clapton is an old man now with pre-existing conditions. Those alone should have given him a pass on vaccination.

Some 80 year old with Stage 4 Cancer must get their vaccination as well? Don't you know you can DIE from COVID? Geesch.

Great. More "magic numbers" from the emotional left.

How do you know he didn't ask his doctor? Perhaps Eric assumed vaccines were safe because he's had all sorts all his life touring all over the world. You have no idea. Because of his scary experience he wanted to inform people, not suppress negative info like the mockingbird media has.

Health professionals have testified to being injured or having family members injured or killed by this vax. They preface their statements with "I am not anti-vax and have taken every vaccine required by my job for decades but this one is different."

What happened to "My body, my choice" and "Informed consent?"

One of the greatest musicians ever..... .what he says carries weight.

"If you want to hang out, we're not requiring the shot.... cocaine!"
