Sammy Hagar Regrets Getting Vaccinated
Society of Rock ^ | Jun 14, 2024 | Dowell

Posted on 06/17/2024 10:29:17 AM PDT by nickcarraway

Sammy Hagar has recently expressed regret over receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, despite his initial support for it.

In a candid Instagram video, he admitted, “I know I’m looking a mess but. Special announcement coming.” He further elaborated in the comments, stating:

“Not sure what all the facts are. But I definitely regret getting vaccinated because I got COVID anyway. **** didn’t work for me anyway, but we live and we learn and try and do the right thing for the safety of ourselves, our family, and all those around us.”

Hagar received his COVID-19 vaccine three years ago, sharing the experience on Instagram in March 2021. At the time, he was eager to resume live performances and protect those around him, saying:

“I dislike shots as much as anyone. But I want to get back to playing live concerts, traveling the world without putting anyone at any risk – my family, my friends, and myself included.”

Sammy Hagar’s Reflections On The Pandemic

In September 2022, Hagar and his band, The Circle, released the album Crazy Times, which reflects on the events of the pandemic. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Hagar voiced his frustration about the loss of freedoms during this period, saying:

“Everyone is watching the guy on the bike instead of the ******-up **** happening in the streets. We always gravitate toward the big distraction, but ******’ COVID was the big distraction. We all took our eye off the ball. The government just seemed to get away with murder. All of a sudden, everyone turned back into sheep because they were so afraid.”

He continued:

“And I just think we lost our freedoms during that time. The government started pushing us around telling us what you gotta do. ‘You gotta get shots, you gotta do this, you gotta do that. You can’t go here. You can’t go there. You gotta wear masks.’ Maybe all that was necessary, and I did get the vaccine, but I know more people that got COVID this year than last year, including myself.”

Previously, Hagar had been a proponent of vaccination, encouraging fans to get vaccinated and emphasizing the importance of safety measures. However, he preferred to set rules for his shows rather than issue public service announcements about COVID-19 safety. Now, his experience with COVID-19 despite being vaccinated has led him to rethink his stance.

I wonder if he noticed that illegal aliens were not jabbed.

If the powers that be were serious about Covid they would have sealed the borders closed.

He did what he thought was prudent. I don’t have a problem with that choice.

It was not my family’s choice, but I don’t begrudge those who did otherwise.

I do not want anyone to stop me from my choice, however, especially using fake information and even laws to cram it down my throat.

I have used that very example, many times with people.

It’s incredibly clear what was going on, to anyone with a brain.

So tired of the “I did it to protect my loved ones” crap. If these clowns really “loved” their loved ones they would have told them not to get the clot shot. For crying out loud a man who wears a diaper was miniaclly villainizing people opposed to it.

Or at least requiring the people (falsely) claiming asylum to take the jab as a condition of entering the country

I do because he lambasted those who didn’t take it.

I had no problem with those taking the shot. I do have a problem with anyone trying to FORCE me to take it.

“That proves they don’t care about us at all.”

True.

It also proves they were lying about something—either the danger of the disease and/or the safety/effectiveness of the vaccines and/or the need for draconian measures against legal American citizens.

“I wonder if he noticed that illegal aliens were not jabbed.”

Illegals don’t need identification to get a driver’s license. I witnessed the illegal who spoke Zero English at the window next to me. The clerk said, “Riase your right hand and swear you are Jose Humanes.” He said, “See.” and she issued him a driver’s license. Just try that as an American citizen. I can’t remember feeling angrier.
